With plenty of expensive mini-sized gift choices, you can easiy fill a stocking for less than ten dollars using some of the suggestions below.

Cool Keychains and Game Toys

Cool mini key chains make great stocking stuffers, especially when there are bonus features. Search for mini games, sound effects, and toys attached to the chain to make your selection as much a toy as a useful selection.

Other mini game choices can include miniature puzzles (holiday versions are usually available cheap), jacks, marbles, slinkies, or silly putty. Even grown-up kids can’t resist playing with a classic childhood toy like these.
