Disney Stocking Stuffers on a Budget
You’ve carefully budgeted your Christmas shopping and then you remember…you didn’t buy anything for the STOCKINGS! (Or is that just me?) Depending on how well you “stuff the stocking”, this could be a very expensive endeavor! Here are some last-minute practical and inexpensive Disney stocking stuffers that won’t compromise your budget.
You’ve already decorated the house with these Disney crafts, decor and ornaments. Now it’s time to carry the theme by creating Disney Christmas stockings!
Choosing the Best Disney Stocking Stuffers
I’m a practical gal, I’ll admit it. I tend to gravitate towards Disney stocking stuffers that my kids already need. We just don’t need more junk for the bottom of the toy bin.
I choose items like a new toothbrush, books, crayons, winter gloves, and bubble bath. Yes, even a package of new underpants make it in to the stocking!
If you like practical gifts for kids that are still fun, these Disney stocking stuffers hit all the marks! All those cute little things have a cost, so read on for a few basic stocking stuffer tips to stay on budget. I’ve included lots of ideas, for babies to teens.
Best Tips for Disney Stocking Stuffers
- 1. What’s your stocking budget? Those little things really add up so make sure you have a cost in mind before buying. It’s easy to go overboard!
- 2. Keep size in mind. Take the size of your stockings into consideration. If a gift is too large to fit into the stocking, wrap it up and set it next to the stocking or on the mantle.
- 3. How many items should you get? Keep the number of stocking stuffers between 3-5 (depending upon the size).
- 4. Don’t buy junk or just “things” to fill the stocking. Stick to what you know will be used and well-loved. Best to choose things that will actually be enjoyed. It’s worth spending a little more rather than just filling stockings with bottom-of-the-toy-box items from the dollar store.
- 5. Upcoming Disney Trip? Think about the practical things you’ll be purchasing already for your vacation. Items like sunscreen, a new bathing suit for the hotel pool, sunglasses and Disney gift cards. Might as well gift them to the kids in their stockings now!
Cozy Up
‘Tis the season to keep warm and these gifts will keep them toasty and stylish. A warm scarf, hat, gloves, slippers or socks are always welcome, especially if they feature a favorite character.

Something to Read
Whether you’re gearing up for a magical vacation, looking for education or just love Disney, these books are perfect as Disney stocking stuffers.
Babies and Toddlers – Definitely one of my daughter’s favorites when she was a baby, Disney Baby My First Words
. All the Disney Baby books are great fun!
Elementary school – From the popular “Who Was” series, Who Was Walt Disney?
is one of my son’s favorites. Since reading it in a single day, he has been schooling us on Walt’s life history!
Tweens – They’ve seen the movies, now read the books! All three are available, including Descendants 3 Junior Novel
.
For Vacation – Hidden Mickey spotting is a fun pastime in the parks, made even more fun with a travel book like The Hidden Mickeys of Disneyland

Disney Stocking Stuffers – Art Supplies
Art supplies are one of the practical gifts that encourage a hobby. Art supplies are always a family favorite in our house. Even better if they have a Disney theme. Some of these are great for taking on a trip!
Crayons – A roll-up fabric travel crayon holder for toddlers and preschoolers is great for road trips and plane flights. Pair crayons and markers with a Disney Coloring Book and host a family coloring night
Mess-Free Markers – Color Wonder sets like this Crayola Color Wonder Frozen Set
are so great while traveling since they are completely mess-free!
Journal – Encourage journaling when you gift a notebook and pen. This Our Adventure Book is just like the one from the movie UP! Adventure is out there!
Disney Apparel and Accessories
These accessories, from toddler to teen, make great Disney stocking stuffers! Ideal for the parks and perfect at home to get a “Disney fix”.
T-Shirt – Toddlers love Disney snacks too, especially when they’re “Rumbly in My Tumbly” like this Winnie the Pooh t-shirt says!
Necklace – This “Disney font” personalized necklace is a special gift for a teen or tween (or Mom!). It’s a pricier gift but in sterling silver or 14K gold, it’s sure to last.
Phone Case – A new Disney-themed phone case is a practical but fun dash of Disney on an everyday item!
Wash Up with These Disney Stocking Stuffers
Scrub-a-dub-dub Disney-style. Having these inspired wash up supplies encourages kids who aren’t thrilled about hygiene and self-care!
Bath Bomb – Make bath time an adventure with a Super Hero Bath Bomb. Each colorful bomb has a surprise hero toy inside.

What’s better to balance out holiday sweets than oral hygiene products like a Disney Minnie Mouse Dental Set.
Hand Soap – Make hand washing more magical with these Mickey Mouse foaming soap adapters. Turns a standard Bath & Body Works bottle into a Mickey-shaped pump of soap in your hand! Receive the Mickey Mouse style plus your choice of one more themed adapter.

might just encourage your kids into the tub. Post-bath, they make cute collectables to play with!

.
Disney Style Stock Up
Make practical things a gift. Kids just want to see their favorite character and they are things that you would normally buy through the year anyway! These practical gifts are fun Disney stocking stuffers.
Lip Balm – These Lip Smacker Disney Tsum Tsum Lip Balms
are just too cute, but also practical!
Bandages – My kids think Disney Band-Aids make all the boo-boos better!

is the perfectly compact game to bring with you on a trip.
These cards are also the most popular item on my suggested list of things to do while waiting in line at Disney.
Travel Game – A great one to play while waiting for food to arrive at restaurants or while on the road trip, Toy Story Mad Libs
is good family fun (search for Frozen, Mickey Mouse and Star Wars versions too!)

Mess-Free Drawing – These clever Imagine Ink Super Set
will buy you quiet time with the kids while traveling or resting in the hotel room.
A Little Something Just for Fun
Don’t forget at least one fun little thing that your kids will enjoy through the year. Little ones might enjoy a little plush doll. Older girls would love a classy make-up set in a Disney-theme. And don’t forget the Force in the form of a cool new Lightsaber!
Dolls – In my daughter’s eyes, there are never enough plush and dolls! I have a feeling she’d also LOVE playing with these Princess Handpainted Peg Dolls!
Imaginative Play – This Star Wars Light Up Lightsaber

Something Sweet in the Stocking
I bought these Disney’s Candy Canes for my kids last Christmas. They were just the perfect size to toss a few of each flavor into each stocking.
Consider adding packet of hot cocoa to the stocking. My kids love receiving a special treat in their stockings (we even let them indulge right after breakfast!) It is Christmas, after all!
