12 Stocking Stuffers That’ll Fly Off the Counter Faster Than You Can Say “Happy Holidaze”
The average consumer spends 25% more when they make last-minute gift purchases. Those final 3 feet of your store where eyeballs meet impulse, and clever displays meet chaotic holiday shopping energy. That is your prime real estate.
To take advantage of this, stock affordable, themed, high-margin giftables that are easy to grab, wrap, and delight with.
Fun, fast-moving, high-margin. This guide is your cash wrap artillery that will bring the jingle to your holiday sales.
Stash Socks, Your Secret Santa Gold
Yes, socks. It’s wonderfully fuzzy on the inside, freaky on the inside-outside. To make them giftable, we recommend high-quality material, funky designs, and stoneriffic features like stash pouches.
Stock interesting designs like rasta designs or tie-dye alien drip. Stash socks are a great gift idea for younger buyers, college students, and budget-conscious shoppers.
Create a great upsell at the counter by bundling them with a one-hitter and a cone tube. Label it “Couchlocked Kit or Secret Santa Savior” with a fun tag like “Everything but the herb.” This will not only move socks but also help cross-sell underperforming small items.
Kratom and Kava Shots
Kratom and kava continue to trend upward, especially among wellness-curious and alternative consumers. As stress peaks and wallets tighten during the holiday season, these functional shots become a powerful, profitable cross-category item for headshops.
The 2-oz shots are impulse-friendly, cash-friendly (under $10), and perfect for holiday anxiety shoppers. Most shots now come sweetened, flavored, and branded for retail appeal. Stock fun flavors like tropical fruit, mango chill, or berry zen.
A marketing idea to try would be to position them as self-care and gifting: “One for you, one for the stocking.
Designer One-Hitters & Dugouts
Get one-hitters and dugouts that are stylish and designed to hit hard while looking good. One-hitters shaped like lipsticks, pens, markers, or bullets attract both style-conscious and discreet consumers.
You can also stock etched, engraved, or branded designs that allow your store to create exclusive drops or collabs with local artists for a unique and collectable feel. Pair them with a smell-proof dugout to increase average order value and encourage bundling. They’re a perfect fit for holiday gifting: compact, functional, and priced to move.
CBD and Minor Cannabinoid Samplers
This is the cannabis lover’s holiday tasting menu. Who doesn’t like to try out something new affordably? Curate your best-selling edibles (or pre-rolls) into themed mini bundles. The best part of this gift is that it could unlock more sales for you in the new year. Here are some fun bundles we made up that you could try–or, if you’re feeling creative, just pull some inspiration:
- Mellow Mornings (CBD + THCV)
- Santa’s Chill Pack (Delta-8 + CBN)
- New Year’s Flight (your top 3 cannabinoid categories)
Holiday Mystery Bags
If you like simple, this is the perfect gift idea for the holidays. Throw together $10 mystery bags with fun odds and ends (stickers, cones, pins, and rolling tips). Create a label: “Naughty or Nice? Only the Bag Knows.” Simple, fun, and easy like a Sunday morning!
Mini Crystal Pipes
Add some woo and wow factor to the holidays. These are great gifts to stock if you have spiritually inclined clients. They are aesthetic, high-vibe, and ideal for holiday gifting. You can dub it the “Crystal Clear” gift station with some rose quartz, amethyst, and obsidian crystal pipes.
Create some mystique and perceived value with an information card that describes what each crystal does and how to clean the pipe.
Flavored Wraps & Novelty Cones
These are fun, low-cost add-ons that sell best when themed. They are especially attractive to younger shoppers and gift givers under 30. Pumpkin spice cones? Candy cane wraps? Birthday cake papers? Yum.
Create a bar near the checkout where shoppers can build their own wrap pack. They can mix flavors into a $10 bundle.
Smell-Proof Keychain Containers
These are the perfect gift for the everyday cannabis or wellness user who values smell control and convenience. They are tiny, discreet, and odor-proof. For lifestyle appeal, stock anodized aluminum or silicone with carabiners.

Novelty Mini Glass
Travel-size rigs that are shaped like cartoon characters, video game icons, and food items (tacos, boba cups) are trending hard, especially on TikTok. They are giftable, collectible, and great conversation pieces.
They also create a great marketing opportunity; ask clients to showcase these and mention your store on TikTok for a $10 discount on their next visit.
Mini Bluetooth Speakers with Flair
From mushroom and alien to bong-shaped micro speakers. These are ideal for music lovers and great for younger shoppers. Some even come pre-programmed with lo-fi playlists for that mellow afternoon.
“Bluntmas” Ornaments
These are clear, fillable Christmas tree ornaments shaped like snow globes or spheres. To create the flair, pre-pack them with blunt wraps, mini cones, or festive rolling tools. Don’t forget to make it holiday-ready with some glitter, mini candy canes, or faux snow.
These ornaments not only would look good on a tree or shelf, but they also create buzzworthy TikTok content. You can make it more interactive by allowing clients to fill their own ornaments.
Stoner Survival Kits
