A good stocking stuffer is small, cheap enough to buy a few of, and still something the person keeps after the wrapping paper is gone. Small plush checks every box. Everything on this list was under $15 when we wrote it, and shipping is free on every order.

Tips for filling a stocking with plush
- Buy two or three. Small plush look best in a group, and a set of three makes a stocking look full.
- Match the person. A dog breed for the dog lover, a Grinch for the one who "hates Christmas," Snoopy for the grandparent who grew up with Peanuts.
- Order early. The most popular holiday Palm Pals sell through, and restocks slow down in December.
