1. Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Rods – With the addition of festive sprinkles or crushed peppermint candy, this indulgent treat makes a perfect stocking stuffer. We recommend packaging pretzel rods in groups of three to capture a higher price point.

More Stocking Stuffer Display Inspiration
Even if you have all the best stocking stuffers, but don’t help these items stand out through marketing and merchandising efforts you will sadly miss many sales opportunities during the holidays. Create clear in-store signage to signify your collection of stocking stuffer gifts and create a separate page for these items as part of your online store.

Examples of stocking stuffer retail displays. The top display from the Container Store is well-marked and the Christmas tree tiered display is festive and creates visual interest. The bottom two displays are marked and well organized and use stockings to help drive home the purpose of these gift ideas.

This display at Sur La Table is well-marked and includes gift ideas at various price points, all under $25.

Even if shoppers didn’t come to your store or website looking for stocking stuffers, showcasing your stocking stuffers will increase the sale of these products. Additional communication on social media, emails and on your website will also increase sales.
