'Tis the season...almost. With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, we're rolling into the holiday season with Christmas right at our heels. And while eachh of these holidays come with their own tasks, Christmas requires a bit more pre-planning to ensure you have perfect gifts for everyone. Once you've decorated your Christmas tree and checked everyone off your list, such as coworkers, friends, family, children, and a significant other, don't forget to fill the stockings. 

While some may think stocking stuffers are an afterthought, true gift-givers know that these can be just as special as the big-ticket items. When picking out the perfect trinkets and gizmos, you need to think about personal preferences. For beauty lovers, give the gift of self care with holiday skincare sets like the Kiehl's face cream duo or a mascara trio from Tarte. An Apple Airtag can be a big hit for the techies in your group. Fashion enthusiasts will love stylish sunglasses, cozy socks from UGG, or a fine-knitted beanie. 

We also know that price range plays a big part in what you may purchase. Below, we've found the best stocking stuffers for all the adults on your list, no matter your budget. From the funny to the practical to the truly most-wanted, consider this your one-stop shop for inexpensive holiday stocking stuffers.
