No matter how hilarious you think it would be, you can’t stuff your house’s stockings with coal and capture everyone’s reactions on hidden camera. (But yeah, that’s hilarious.) You also can’t simply fall back on tradition and toss three oranges in there, because to a kid that’s just coal with a fresh coat of paint. Sorry, but you’re on the hook for these holiday gifts that remind your loved ones just how much you’re willing to spend on them the week before Christmas, after you thought you’d finished all your shopping. Don’t worry, that’s pretty much the reason Amazon Prime exists. Check out this guide to holiday stocking stuffers for kids and family, and happy one-clicking!

Amazon Prime Stocking Stuffers For Her

There’s not much you can give the person who carried your child that equals the gift they gave you, but hey, who doesn’t love a steamy, delicious cup of French-pressed coffee? These stocking stuffers are about the creature comforts and niceties that make her life more enjoyable and just a little bit easier. Because you tried to buy your wife a week’s vacation at the spa, but it didn’t fit.

Amazon Prime Stocking Stuffers For Babies

When your kid doesn’t know their ass from their elbow, the goal of a stocking stuffer is 10 percent to find their favorite toy for the next 30 seconds and 90 percent to blast the cutest Christmas morning ‘gram EVER. Almost all of these will satisfy both requirements with absolutely no fear that they’ll be returned. Although, who returns a stocking stuffer? At least have the common courtesy to regift it at the daycare Secret Santa.
