Best Stocking Stuffers for 2-Year-Olds (Toddler-Approved Gifts They’ll Really Use)

Stocking stuffers are one of my favorite things to buy for the holidays. I usually grab things throughout the year whenever something catches my eye. Our stockings are mostly practical (things we’ll actually use), with a few little treats thrown in for fun.

Living in a smaller house, I try to keep it useful and thoughtful to avoid adding a ton of extra “stuff.” Many of these items are easy to find and make great last-minute stocking stuffers if you’re short on time.

Here’s what’s in Margot’s stocking this year:

• Earth’s Best and Happy Tot 2+ Years Smoothie Pouches

• Stickers (Winnie The Pooh Point Stickers from Daiso and Pipstickers Nimble Narwhals)

• Post-it Notes

• Aura Cacia Foam Bath (from Jimbo’s) or other fun bubble bath packets

• Travel-size Playdoh/Crayola Silly Scents Dough or Whoa Dough

• Hot Wheels Car (Walmart and Target have some fun ones like Instant Boost coffee cup, Sushi Tuner nigiri, and Hot Wheengs hot sauce)

• Tonies

• Sesame Street Light-Up Bath Cubes

• Jack N’ Jill Fairy Floss

• Pochacco Rice Ball “Onigiri” Mold (from Daiso)

• Welly Bandaids

• Duckalooz Moana Rubber Duckies

• Boogie Hand Sanitizer Spray
