It’s true what they say: the best gifts come in small packages. While it’s exciting to open up holiday gifts underneath your Christmas tree, the fun doesn’t have to end there. Stocking stuffers are an easy way to bring even more delight to your loved ones by holding all of your tinier gifts in one convenient spot — rather than risk them getting lost underneath the tree branches or Christmas tree skirt.
While these mini gifts have traditionally been reserved for kids, there are a ton of great stocking stuffer ideas for adults too. Need some help getting inspired? We put together a list of the best music-inspired stocking stuffers, from celebrity beauty favorites to official (and unofficial) artist merch. Whether they love pop, country or rock and roll, these music stocking stuffers are sure to put a smile on their face. As a bonus, we’ve included some non-music stocking stuffers as well, in case your recipient prefers something a little more practical for everyday use.
