stocking stuffers

Tiny Christmas presents

Stocking stuffers are small, inexpensive gifts meant to fill Christmas stockings—the decorative sock-shaped bags hung for Santa to fill.

The term implies items chosen more for size and novelty than significance: candy, small toys, toiletries, gift cards.

I still need to pick up some stocking stuffers for the kids.
