This Year's Must-Have Stocking Stuffers

Nov 20, 2024

If you have stockings to fill during the holiday season, you know how difficult it can be to find meaningful presents with budget-friendly price tags. Luckily, these must-have gifts will delight kids and help their growing skills flourish without breaking the bank.

Choose from best-selling series seasonal specials like There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Spoon and How Do Dinosaurs Say Merry Christmas? For the little ones, pick out a sweet story like Teeny Tiny Santa, or a silly one such as Silly Santa

Think fast! These fun flash cards make a great educational stocking stuffer. 

Klutz activities are also great for kids who want to practice their art and crafts skills. Activities like Klutz: Watercolor Wishes and Klutz Jr: My Simple Sewing will be sure to spark their creativity!

And don't forget this season's must-have holiday gift: Adopt an Axolotl, featuring a sweet plush, a 32-page adoption and adventure guide, and your very own adoption certificate. But be warned: This one's flying off the shells!
