We like to think of stockings as the unsung heroes of the holiday season. While giant, bedecked boxes certainly command a lot of attention, we believe the tiny treasures we uncover by the fireplace deserve just as much “oohing” and “aahing” and all-around thought and appreciation.

When we were kids, stocking stuffers were all about cheap tchotchkes and candy (or socks, if you’d managed to really annoy your parents that year), but now that we’re older, we’re looking for something a bit more sophisticated. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the coolest petite primpers, from a genius piece of beauty bling to an itty bitty flat iron, to fill up your stocking (hung with care, obvi). Scroll through to check out these small wonders — they’ll make the rest of your presents jealous, promise.
