Frequently Asked Questions About Stocking Stuffers
-
What are stocking stuffers?
Stocking stuffers are small gifts tucked into a Christmas stocking, usually opened on Christmas morning before the larger presents. They tend to be inexpensive, fun, and practical: a treat, something small for the home, or a little everyday item. SERRV's stocking stuffers are all handmade or fair trade and small enough to fit in a stocking.

What are good stocking stuffers?
The best ones are small, useful, and a little unexpected. Fair trade chocolate is always welcome. Ornaments, handmade soap, a mug, dish towels, earrings, a necklace, or a toiletries bag also work well because the recipient will actually use them. Try to include one thing to enjoy right away and one thing to keep.
-
What are good stocking stuffers for adults?
For women, consider handmade earrings or a pendant necklace, marbled soap, alpaca glovelettes, or a kantha toiletries bag. For men, try a recycled sari and denim apron, a ceramic mug, African spice grinders, or chocolate thins. For anyone who cooks, kantha dish towels or small dipping bowls are a good fit. Most of SERRV's stocking stuffers work for anyone on your list.
-
How much do SERRV's stocking stuffers cost?
The collection runs from about $9 for a bar of fair trade chocolate thins to about $40 for an apron or a pair of glovelettes. Most pieces fall between $15 and $30, so you can fill a stocking with two or three handmade items for about the price of one larger gift.
-
Do you wrap stocking stuffers?
It is up to your family's tradition. Many people leave stocking stuffers unwrapped so they peek out of the top. Others wrap them so opening the stocking feels like its own small event. If you do wrap them, a reusable fabric bag or a scrap of fabric tied with twine keeps paper waste down, and it works well for oddly shaped items like ornaments.

Where can I buy fair trade stocking stuffers?
SERRV sells them online, and its collection is made by artisans and farmers in Ghana, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Peru. Each piece is purchased on fair trade terms, so even the smallest gift in the stocking supports the person who made it.
