LEGO Sets

I’m starting with the absolute biggest hit in our house and the one stocking stuffer that I know my 5-year old will lose his mind over.

5-year old boys truly can not have enough LEGOs (at least, according to them).

Luckily, there are some really fun LEGO sets that won’t break the bank and will fit really nicely into a stocking.  

Here are some of the best LEGO stocking stuffer ideas:

• Green Creativity Box
• Orange Creativity Box
• Blue Creativity Box
• Red Creativity Box
• Rainbow Classic Fun

Monster Spray

If you’ve got a 5-year old boy that is scared of monsters at night, THIS is the perfect stocking stuffer for them!

This monster spray has a subtle smell, but the real magic happens when your little boy gets to take control of the situation and spray for monsters before bed.

This is such a cute idea and a HUGE hit with little boys!

Temporary Tattoos

They’re so fun, so small, so cheap, and come in whatever character or theme you want…which obviously makes temporary tattoos one of the best stocking stuffers for 5-year old boys!

You can either give them a whole sheet, or cut out specific ones to give to them and save the rest for later (Easter baskets will be here before you know it!).

Here are some really great options for temporary tattoos for 5-year old boys:

• Avengers Temporary Tattoos
• Dinosaurs Temporary Tattoos
• Thomas the Train Temporary Tattoos
• Ninja Turtles Temporary Tattoos

Foam Sword

No matter how hard you try, you just can’t keep boys from being drawn to swords.  Which makes foam swords another one of the best stocking stuffers for 5-year old boys!

I would highly recommend opting for the foam version instead of plastic (for obvious reasons). These are also fun because they can poke out of the stocking for some dramatic flair!

Socks

Socks are a must-have anyways and if they’re really fun, then your little boy will love them!

These are my (and my son’s) favorite socks and they come in really cute designs.

But best of all, they have a little loop that makes it much easier for your little boy to put them on himself.

Art Supplies

Arts and crafts are a major part of every 5-year old boy’s life, so this is a great opportunity to introduce them to new fun supplies or replenish the favorites that have been all used up.

Here are some fun art supply ideas that make great stocking stuffers for 5-year old boys:

• Paint sticks (these are an unbelievable alternative to regular paint – they’re a huge hit!)
• Tri-colored markers
• Multi-colored pencils

Dress Up Accessories

5-year old boys love playing make believe and they love dressing up!

For boys, there are a ton of fun dress up clothes and accessories, so these are great stocking stuffer ideas.  Here are some really fun and easy options:

• Pirate accessories
• Superhero mask and cape (this one is so adorable – you can get their initial on the cape!)

Winter Hat, Gloves, and Scarf

5-year old boys want nothing more than to play outside and the prospect of snow is so exciting for them.  Since you’ll already be needing warm outdoor gear, this is the perfect time to get a fun set that they’ll love!

There are so many fun designs, but here are some great options for 5-year old boys:

• Star Wars Hat & Gloves
• Spiderman Hat & Gloves
• Lightning McQueen

Kinder Eggs

Any kind of candy works inside a stocking, but Kinder Eggs are both candy and toy….and 5-year old boys can’t get enough of them.

They’re a fun stocking stuffer idea and easy on the budget!

I hope these stocking stuffers for 5-year old boys help with your Christmas shopping this year.  Have fun and enjoy as much as you can!
