This year, gift-giving looks a little bit different for everybody. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t save money and find some Gen Z stocking stuffers that could easily replace a main gift.

Some people are used to receiving little trinkets in their Santa stocking in addition to receiving one big present. But here’s a tip: There are plenty of smaller (and way more inexpensive) gifts out there that your loved one will cherish. Plus, when you’re shopping Gen Z goodies, a lot of them don’t have to cost more than $30 – $50.

If you want to take a different route on gifts this year, you can legit buy a monogram Santa stocking and stuff it with things like budget-friendly makeup, skincare, hair accessories and headphones for a present that’s sure to please. Here’s a list of Gen Z stocking stuffer ideas to make their holiday more meaningful this year.
