The 6 Best Dollar Tree Stocking Stuffers

A little bit of money goes a long way at Dollar Tree. The cheaper the products, the more you can buy, and the more stuff you can stuff in your family members’ stockings. Now’s the perfect time to stock up on, yes, festive treats but also useful food products that you can fit into a stocking to make the season a little sweeter (or more savory, either way). This is Dollar Tree’s bread and butter, people: bite-sized snacks that were made to fit into every nook and cranny of a stocking so you can maximize the space you have to work with. Here are some Dollar Tree stocking stuffers that your loved ones can subsequently stuff in their mouths.

Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa Ball

Festive and timely. Great work, Dollar Tree. The cold winter months are the ideal time to get someone you love a stocking full of balls! Balls filled with hot cocoa, that is. If you can’t warm them up on your own (you have to go to work, after all) then this is the next best thing. Plus, they get to sit and watch the outer chocolate melt, revealing a bursting bounty of cocoa powder and mini marshmallows. It’s like a stocking stuffer within a stocking stuffer; a Russian nesting doll of deliciousness, if you will.

Nerds Gummy Clusters

While my Dollar Tree didn’t have the new Frosty Nerds Gummy Clusters, which would have aligned better with our wintry theme, there’s no wrong time to enjoy Nerds Gummy Clusters, themed or not. These make an excellent Dollar Tree stocking stuffer, especially if you’re a member of one of those families that always goes to the movies on Christmas. There’s nothing quite like smuggling your brand new Christmas candy into the theater!

Harry & David Breakfast Blend Ground Coffee

A small bag of ground coffee isn’t going to satisfy the needs of the caffeine addicts in your life, but it makes a nice stocking stuffer all the same. And Harry & David? Ooh la la. Just a little something to sip with your designer pears. This is one of those wonderful Dollar Tree stocking stuffers that no one will suspect came from Dollar Tree (but we can’t promise they won’t suspect that you got this in a gift basket and then re-gifted it).

Kingsford Garlic & Herb All-Purpose Seasoning

Seasoning in a stocking?? Why the heck not! It’s all-purposes, so the stocking stuffee will use it a lot and think of you every time their food tastes like garlic and herbs. And stuff like this lasts a long time, so by next Christmas they will be fully obsessed with you thanks to this Dollar Tree stocking stuffer. You’re welcome!

Fort Knox Chocolate Gold Coins

While it’s fun to throw a $50 bill in a little one’s stocking at Christmas and see them freak out because they’ve already been programmed to value money above all else, it doesn’t quite embody the Christmas spirit. They can’t eat money, but they can eat chocolate coins wrapped in gold foil. Get them a dreidel to go with the gelt and you have yourself a little holiday crossover.

Pepperidge Farm Milano Dark Chocolate Cookies

I was hoping to find some nice tinned fish to add to our list of Dollar Tree stocking stuffers. I wanted to demonstrate that you can shop at Dollar Tree and still get stuff that feels fancy. Alas, I came up short on that front (someone ping me when they start selling Fishwife products at Dollar Tree), so instead I grabbed a bag of cookies we all know are the height of elegance. Milanos are for grownups. Elegant grownups. But they still taste really good dipped in a tall glass of milk.
