4. If someone is a book lover, slip a tiny book or bookmark into their stocking.
5. For the music enthusiast, add a new set of headphones or a music-themed keychain.
6. If someone loves crafting, include colorful markers, stickers, or craft supplies.

11. Holiday Decor: Enhance the visual appeal of the stockings by adding some holiday-themed decorations. Attach ribbons, bows, or festive ornaments that match the stockings' design.
12. Surprises: If you have family members or friends who are particularly hard to shop for, consider adding surprise elements to their stockings. These could be little clues or riddles leading to a hidden gift somewhere in the house, adding an element of adventure to the festivities.
