The adult stocking is often an afterthought, a sad little sock filled with a half-melted chocolate orange and maybe a pair of sensible socks. But this year, we’re flipping the script. The stocking is no longer the opening act; it’s the headliner. Thanks to the glorious chaos of Black Friday week, you can cram those knitted monstrosities with genuinely awesome stuff that won’t require you to take out a small loan. We’ve scoured the sales to find the tiny treasures that pack a bigger punch than your aunt’s infamous fruitcake.

#2 Now They Can Have Concrete Proof That Their Heart Races When Their Boss Emails Them Thanks To The Fitbit Charge 6
Review: “Excellent, to many positive things to say. Best part is using it at tap to pay locations, no wallet needed. Also the phone locator is pretty handy. Plan on upgrading the band though, I went with Fitbit’s buckle type after reading where other bands had unreliable magnets for connecting to the actual Fitbit. There are some the are decent from what I can see.” – John

#3 That Uninvited Guest On Their Face Can Now At Least Be A Cute Fashion Accessory With These Star Pimple Patches
Review: “Sometimes I’ll wake up with zit stickers on my pillow, but these stay put! I apply these after I cleanse and tone. Once they’re on I’ll put on my serums, moisturizer, etc., and those normally seep under my stickers by the time I wake up. But these were great and super sticky. I like that they’re a combination of salicylic acid and tea tree which seems to help stop my acne from spreading. 240 stickers is a lot for the price so it’s great if you get small pimples that are prone to spreading.” – ccfrmnj

I also have had a card wallet from the same company for over a year without the faux leather getting visibly dirty or messed up. I definitely recommend!” – alina
