‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro’ the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care…

 Oh, no! You forgot about the stockings, again!

No matter how many weeks you spend hunting down the best bargains and crossing off all the items on your kids’ wish lists, you somehow always manage to forget about the stocking stuffers. No fear, these last-minute gifts are meant to be simple, fun, and affordable!

Collectibles and fidget toys are great go-to gifts for stockings, and best yet they’re easy to find and available in a ton of different collections and assortments. Another simple way to fill a stocking is by throwing in figures from kids’ favorite TV series and movies. These toys are small enough to take on-the-go during holiday travels, and as an added bonus they’ll keep kids entertained while sitting in the inevitable hours of traffic.

Top off the holiday season with some of our favorite no-fail stocking stuffers.

Beat Bugs Fab Figures (Blip Toys)

This animated series has sung its way into kids’ and parents’ hearts. Inspired by music from The Beatles, parents and grandparents get to introduce their kids to some of their favorite songs. The line from Blip Toys features tons of adorable characters and play sets, including the detailed, 3-inch Fab Figures. The head and arms on each figure are articulated, which lets kids move them around and bring them to life. Still need to get stocking stuffers? Don’t worry, “We can work it out!”
