Christmas stocking stuffers have long been the afterthoughts of gift-giving, mere "lets just get this out of the way" or "shit, I forgot about this" presents like oven mitts, bulk chocolate candy, and anything bacon-scented. (Do not get us started on wh*skey st*nes.) Most of them are just begging to be tossed in a junk drawer or the donation pile, never to see the light of day again. It's a fate they probably deserve.

But let's be clear on something: You don't have to buy stuff that's bad, boring, or cheaply made just because it's small in size. Shopping for a stocking stuffer is a cinch so long as you know who you're shopping for — and where to look.

You've already got enough on your plate this holiday season, so we've done the searching for you. Below, we've rounded up an extensive list of tiny-but-impressive presents at a range of price points that can work for everyone on your list.
