27 unique stocking stuffer ideas they'll actually use - all under $10

• If the holidays are the season for giving, then stocking stuffers are the affordable, easy-to-buy gifts you can give to everyone in your life, from your neighbors to your distant cousin twice removed.
• Even if your gift costs $10 or less, it can still be useful, thoughtful, and unique.

Not everyone in your life, like your friendly neighborhood mailman or the kid cousins you only see once a year, is going to receive a fancy gift from you during the holidays. However, it's always a nice gesture to give them a small token of love and appreciation and show that you're thinking of them.

Before you tackle the big-ticket gift purchases on your list for your mom, dad, or significant other, it's easier to start small with the stocking stuffers you can buy by the armful. Under $10 is just about as affordable as you can get with gifts, but this low price point doesn't mean your stocking stuffers can't still be useful, thoughtful, and unique.

These 27 affordable stocking stuffers, from handy tech accessories to personal care staples, are far from throwaways.
