I’m all for keeping costs down at Christmas but sometimes, it’s nice to top up someone’s Christmas present or give a stocking filler gift to someone whom you wouldn’t normally buy for. The only thing is that all too often, stocking fillers can be a bit unoriginal, a waste of money and even end up being forgotten about by New Year.
If you are going to spend your money on a stocking filler for someone this year, take a look at this collection of ideas I’ve put together below. I can guarantee you that these stocking fillers are very different from the sort you’ll find on the high street and they all have one thing in common. Each one is handmade, from my favourite handmade marketplace – Etsy!
Why buy handmade? You’ll be getting a one of a kind gift for a start, so you can rest assured that your recipient is unlikely to already have one. You’ll also be supporting small businesses and independent crafters by buying handmade and not lining the pockets of major retailers. Bonus!
What’s more, you can purchase all of these gifts below for just £10 ($15) or less plus shipping! What’s not to like? (Side note – although the stated prices below are in GBP, you can convert the prices to a different currency easily on each product listing). So let’s get these Christmas stocking ideas under way!

Great stocking stuffer ideas. This year I’m giving out small keychains to represent the memory I have with each person. Happy Holidays!

I love all these stocking ideas. Actually, my daughter likes Fairy Swing for Fairy Garden. Thanks for these because I can make some of these as Christmas presents.
Those all look awesome! There are so many cool little items to be had on Etsy and other places! We’ve decided to forego stockings because I’m the only one that bothers with it. My husband is terrible about Christmas shopping, and my in-laws have limited transportation options. I kind of miss the tradition.

Those are some adorable items that I’m sure people would love to receive in their stockings. It can be difficult finding original gifts that aren’t expensive, but you’ve put together a great list!
Those silver spoon earrings are darling! All of these items are very unique and personal. I’m sure any receiver would be thrilled.

Not only are these pretty cheap stocking stuffers, they are almost all things that are pretty useful too. The worst stocking stuffers are things that I don’t need or want. Those just turn into junk clogging up my house or end up thrown away.

Etsy has so many awesome things! I really love the Pride & Prejudice necklace. I would’ve thought it would cost more.
