The Best Girls Stocking Fillers in 2023 (Stuffers You Will Both LOVE!)
Cool Stocking Stuffers for Girls
With Christmas, girls stocking fillers are where you get to be creative!
It’s an opportunity to give items that are fun but also practical. Because let’s face it, there are a lot of toys that end up taking up space. (Then, get thrown out months later.) We never want girls stockings stuffers to be part of that, and the following list reflects that!

Useful Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Girls
First, these ideas are practical (yet fun) and become well-used items in a girl’s belongings.
The Wet Brush – These hair brushes WORK LIKE MAGIC in a girl’s wet hair. We also use them for dry hair, and it’s the best brush I’ve found for my girls.
Face Masks – In many areas, kids’ face masks are still needed. And I know that my girl is very specific about the types she likes. These face masks are expressive for girls!
Garments for Winter – With winter coming, cute gloves and winter hats fit nicely into a stocking.
Cooking Tools – As kids grow, they can help in the kitchen more! So, get them their own set of baking utensils, safer kid knives to use, or an apron that keeps them clean.
Swimming Goggles – Does your girl like to swim? Make sure she has swim goggles ready to go! Swim flip flops are easy to add too!
An Analog Watch – All kids have to learn how to tell time, so help your girls out with this fun Disney Frozen watch and make it both fun and helpful.
Piggy Bank – Help your girl save money but gifting her a small piggy bank, coin purse, or box to keep her coins and dollars safe.
Christmas Coupons – For a fun way to promote experiences over stuff, try a free coupon book for kids, or specific coupons for Christmas!
Socks and Underwear – While they are never the most fun thing to receive, most kids (and adults) appreciate a new set of undergarments. Here are fun girl socks and underwear sets.
Food – Oranges are traditional, or place a unique treat (like these easy caramels) or a candy cane in the bottom of the stocking for an extra surprise.
For more useful items, I have an entire post of gifts that ARE NOT toys!
