STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Sometimes the best gifts are the little ones. Top retailers know that stocking stuffers are on everyone’s mind these days, so they’re offering big deals on little gifts that will make your loved ones smile.
Starting with the most practical and working our way down to whimsical, here’s a look at 10 little stocking stuffers that’ll be big hits on Christmas morning:
1. Hats! Keep them warm with Nike hats — always a practical choice for a stocking stuffer. The Nike ACG Beanie is available in black and Olive/Light Army green. It’s cuffed design gives you a nice, secure fit and is perfect for long winter hikes or the short trek from the gym to the car after practice or a good workout. It received a long list of five-star ratings on Nike.com, and is a good deal at $30.
Want something a bit jazzier for a lady in your life? Inspired by ‘90s designer styles, the Nike Sportswear Bucket Hat features an allover Houndstooth jacquard fabric and metal Swoosh graphic. It’s a chic look she can pair with this season’s Icon Clash styles. At $28, it’s nicely priced for a washable, fashionable option that will pair with many styles.

2. Socks! When it comes to keeping your toes toasty, Nike.com has quite a few options to choose from, including the durable classic Nike Everyday Max Cushioned Socks. The thick terry sole will keep them extra comfortable during drills and weight training, while high-friction yarns in the footbed reduce slippage. And the grey sole is perfect for hiding wear if your loved one likes to walk around with no shoes on! Priced at just $20 for three pairs, they make a great stocking stuffer for the money.

They’ve got thick soles for comfort and a ribbed arch band to wrap the midfoot for a supportive feel. And you get six pairs for just $20!
3. A shaker bottle! Another new release that’ll fit nicely in a stocking is the Nike 24oz TR HyperCharge Shaker Bottle. An integrated mixer, it will evenly blend powders and supplements into a drink for a pre- or post-workout boost. And, the curved interior base makes it easy to clean, while the flip-top spout features a leakproof seal for peace of mind. Any athlete will appreciate a fresh new mixer bottle, and this new design is priced at just $20 at Nike.com.

Other great hair options can be found at Amazon.com, where you can get an eight-pack of the PRO Hair Tie. It has an easy release clasp for a secure hold, with no hair damage, and the unique round-flat design is popular because it “hugs” hair instead of constricting it like traditional elastics. Pretty cool. A neon-colored variety pack is just $24 on Amazon.com.
