Picking out kids’ stocking stuffers is one of my favorite things about Christmas! But I must say, boy stocking stuffers can be a bit trickier than girls.
With girls, pretty much anything sparkly and colorful will work and stores seem to be full of those things front and center where they’re easy to grab.
Sometimes you will have to look a little harder for the perfect boy stocking stuffers. Hopefully, this list will help.
