With Christmas just weeks away, it’s possible that you’ve heeded all the warnings about supply chain disruptions, gotten all of your major shopping done, wrapped all the presents and put them under the Christmas tree. If so, good for you. But for many of us, shopping for stocking stuffers tends to be an afterthought.
A little trickier to pick out than other types of presents, stocking stuffers traditionally need to check a few boxes: They should be somewhat inexpensive and small enough to slip into a stocking. And often, a stocking stuffer should be a little more clever and fun than the average gift.
With that in mind, CBS Essentials curated a roundup of small and inexpensive gifts that will spread the most joy on Christmas morning for the least amount of cash. Here’s your guide to finding the best stocking stuffers under $25.
