Depending on your cultural or religious affiliations, you might’ve celebrated St. Nick’s Day as a kid .The holiday was intended to remember the original saint who Santa Claus was based on long before we all started the “presents under the tree” tradition and still hung up stockings to receive Christmas goodies.
We had to give up the stocking gimmick around Christmas because you can’t fit a PS4 or a skateboard in a sock. But, in early December (on the 5th this year), some kids still hang up a stocking and wait for St. Nick to come by a couple weeks pre-Santa with treats and presents just big enough to fit in decorative, wall mounted footwear.

St. Nick’s Day is rarely celebrated in the media, and I imagine said sanctified Nicholas is sick of Claus getting all the rub.

They just happen to be here on time for St. Nick’s Day and 100% ready to serve as official, certified stocking stuffers.
There are only two qualifications to make it on this list. They have to be tech gadgets — be they fun, silly, helpful, cool, etc. Second, they had to be affordable so you can pick them up and stick them in that stocking quickly and cheaply.
