There’s something so fun about picking out chic little luxuries for stocking stuffers during the holiday season for my friends and family—those small but oh-so-satisfying gifts that pack a big punch. This year, I’m all about finding the coolest, most stylish items that are trending right now and, of course, won’t break the bank. Think viral TikTok Gen Z gifts that are everywhere, from must-have beauty gadgets to those cute accessories you didn’t know you needed. The best part? They’re all under $50. (You can pick your jaw up off of the floor now!)
Whether it’s a trending monogrammed lip balm, an NYC-beloved pillow embroidery, or the latest skincare obsession, these stocking stuffers are sure to make anyone feel special. They’ve got that It factor that’s practically begging for a spot on your wish list. Below, through scroll 40 finds I think you'll love to gift—or, if you're like me, receive!—this year.
