When we were kids, we couldn’t wait to see the little goodies that filled our stockings. Sure, the presents under the tree were the main show, but the stockings were always filled with thoughtful surprises and lots of sweet treats. 

As time has gone on, we’ve turned into the magic makers ourselves but the magic of stockings still endures. We love to fill them with cookies, little games, gizmos, and the necessities you’re always looking for, like chapstick. And this year, we decided to stick to the theme of our gift guide and choose stocking stuffers from Black-owned businesses like us. 

Read on for the goodies we’ll be filling our families stockings with this year, including yummy sweets, necessities, and little toys and treats to keep your kiddos busy.
