stocking-stuffer
Small holiday gift
A stocking-stuffer is a small, inexpensive gift meant to fill a Christmas stocking—the decorative sock hung by the fireplace for Santa Claus to fill with treats and trinkets.
The term implies something modest rather than a main present: candy, small toys, gift cards, or novelty items.
I picked up some chapstick and scratch-off tickets as stocking-stuffers.
