23 Of The Absolute Best Stocking Stuffers For Moms

Christmas is coming! Have you been shopping? Are you ready?

Who are we kidding? Of course, you’re not ready! Anyone who’s ready for Christmas before Thanksgiving passes should be given a medal of some kind. Or made president. Or worshipped. Or all of the above.

One aspect of Christmas shopping that often gets left until the last minute involves stocking stuffers. They’re usually small items, and just so easily forgotten about until the last minute. You’re not alone in this!

But fear not! While we can’t really help if you have to fill your football-loving, whiskey sipping father-in-law’s stocking, we’ve got some killer ideas for how to fill a stocking for the lovely mom in your life.

Check out what we found to be the best stocking stuffers for moms.

A keychain from Anthropologie with mom’s initial will be a super chic addition to her collection of keys. It may even make it easier to find the keys in her purse!

A wine that comes in chocolate form? Insert shocked emoji face here! Not only are these little chocolates adorable, but Mom can rest assured that she won’t get tipsy from consuming the whole bottle.
