Unearthing all the goodies inside my stocking on Christmas morning was probably one of my favorite parts about the holiday as a child.
Now, as I’m starting to think about the stockings I will make for others this year, I’ve been finding a lot of inspiration while scrolling through TikTok.
This polarizing platform has become a not-so-secret resource for finding incredibly useful, unique and popular products that make the perfect gifts — and this is certainly the case when it comes to inexpensive and compact treats that are just the right size for filling stockings.
All of the stocking stuffer items in the list below (which features everything from skincare to practical household gewgaws) are TikTok-approved and under $25.

A terrycloth skin care headband
The skin care company Versed released a terrycloth-covered headband meant to keep hair dry and out of the way during a skin care or makeup routine. The crowds went wild and unfortunately bought them up completely. While the company has been a little cagey about confirming a return of their puffy headbands, there are some beautiful lookalikes that mimic the same croissant style and color options. This model from Etsy is thoughtfully handmade in France using the softest terrycloth fabric and comes in four colors.
