When it comes time to shop for the holidays, it’s hard not to think of the big-ticket items first. Whether they’re big boxes you’ll be wrapping up or fun toys from Santa that will be arrayed magnificently under the tree, those standout gifts are the ones that tend to take up a lot of our pre-shopping-strategy energy.

And those gifts are important, of course — there’s no arguing how absolutely magical it is to see wide eyes encountering the spread early on the morning of the 25th — but great stocking stuffers shouldn’t be afterthoughts. The baubles and other small finds that traditionally fill a stocking are some of the most enjoyable things to shop for, and they often end up being the most-used gifts too.

So keep an eye out for great finds while you’re moving down your list of the bigger buys. There are so many amazing little presents that you can scoop up amid the rest of your shopping — especially if you’re doing it at Walmart, which has seemingly endless good options at great prices.

Keep exploring below for our finds under $15 that would be fun for kids and adults alike to discover in their stockings.
