Stocking stuffers for young adults can be tricky to find. If you’re short on ideas, cash and time, check out this list of 50 winners!

“I really just want money.” The anti-climactic answer to my question: What do you want for Christmas?
Young adults are characteristically unhelpful when it comes to giving ideas for holiday gifts. Perhaps this is because they are convinced we, as uninformed parental units, just can’t get it right.
Buying for Young Adults
Over the past few years, my thinking has changed on buying holiday gifts for my son and daughter. The childhood days of delighted gasps on Christmas morning are now a thing of the past.
I’ve shifted from looking for items to put under the tree to shopping for stocking stuffers for my young adults. If you’re stumped for ideas, strapped for cash, and short on time-never fear.
Here are 50 winning ideas from Target with easy links to almost every one. The price range starts at $3 and goes up, so there’s something for every budget.
Put on the holiday soundtrack, get a cup of coffee, and have a little fun playing Santa!
