Stocking Stuffers Under $5

Get ready for Christmas with these easy stocking stuffers that are under 5 dollars. You don't have to spend a bunch of money to get some cute stocking stuffers for everyone.

When I was a kid we kept our Christmas stockings hung at the foot of our bed. I remember constantly waking up Christmas eve to feel if there was anything in my stocking.

As soon as I felt something I would pull it out and try to feel it in the dark to see what it was. It was so exciting because you knew it was just the start of Christmas.

I love picking out fun stocking gifts for my son now. I like to pick out fun little toys that he wouldn't think of asking for.

The $.99 yo-yo has brought hours of entertainment to our house. We don't spend a lot of money on stocking stuffers, usually just a couple of dollars.

So, with Christmas coming up I thought I would put together a list of 10 Stocking Stuffers for under $5.

Most of them are great deals on Amazon, and others you may get a better deal at the dollar store.
