I have a lot of fond holiday memories from growing up. From opening up my first pair of Ugg slippers (some things never change) and getting my first cellphone (which my parents hid in the tree, called after all the presents had been opened, and made me go searching for) to giving my entire family gifts as an adult for the first time ever, I really love gift-giving season. But I also have somewhat of a controversial opinion: Stockings are the best gifts of all.
Sure, the fact that my family always found a way to stuff a “big” gift way at the bottom of a stocking might have something to do with it (this is how I got my purple iPod Nano in high school), but even without those, I’m just a girl who loves knick knacks at heart. As I’ve gotten older, one of my favorite ways to gift friends year-round is to curate a collection of little things I know will bring them joy.
It’s safe to say that stockings are my thing, which is why I’m thrilled to curate this list of stocking stuffers for women for our 2024 Holiday Gift Guide. Below, you’ll find everything you need to create the perfect holiday stocking experience for your loved ones—plus, a few things you can snag for yourself, too.
Does it get more 2024 than bows and crew socks? The embroidered bow detail provides a fun peekaboo moment paired with sneakers, loafers, slippers, or mini Uggs.

I have to be honest, this is one of the silliest products I have ever seen. That said, the moment I saw it, I knew it would be the perfect stocking stuffer. Anyone with even slightly long hair knows the old “stick hair on the shower wall” move. Personally, nothing bothers my husband more, so I know he, and any other SO’s out there, would get a kick out of including this in a stocking. Rather than stick hair on the wall, you place your hand (with the hair) inside of the catcher and then pull it out, leaving the strands neatly hidden away to be disposed of at a later time.

You know that bottomless pit of a bag your loved one carries around? Do her a favor and stuff one of these pouches into her stocking.

Anyone who goes anywhere on their own should have one of these personal safety alarms. When activated, this alarm emits a blaring siren that alerts anyone nearby that help is needed. I keep one on my dog leash for when I’m walking my dogs alone, but it can be hooked onto purses or keys just as easily.
