One of my favorite family traditions occurs on the night before Christmas. My brothers and I gather around as my mother allows us to peek into our stockings to hold us over until Christmas morning. The excitement a good stocking stuffer holds is pretty much next-level. While the biggest and most luxurious gifts are typically opened separately, a small stocking stuffer can really gather just as much excitement. There's a reason they say that it's sometimes the little things that make the biggest impact.
One thing that I love about stocking stuffers is that they're filled with surprises. Sneaking in a luxury item is always a good idea because your loved one will never see it coming. A statement piece of jewelry from Gucci or a luxurious upgrade to their alarm clock will definitely leave them quite surprised. Below, find 30 items that will take your stockings to the next level this year.
