If you're in charge of filling someone's stocking this year, these stocking stuffer ideas will help you nail it (even with your hard-to-impress teen). To come up with a good list, we asked Good Housekeeping editors what stocking stuffers they love to receive and gift. I also spent hours scouring online reviews and testing notes from our Lab pros — hint: many of these affordable picks are award winners. And, I couldn't resist including a few of my favorite products and some of the most popular gifts of the year.
