As the holidays draw near, there’s usually a major focus on big-ticket gift times. But what about the smaller products that you need to buy? They make the perfect gift for stocking stuffers, secret Santas, or office gifts for that special cubicle buddy. These purchases don’t have to be extravagant or expensive; they just need to show that you put some thought into picking them out to make for a great gift.

We’ve found a selection of gifts that are either small in size, small in price tag, or both. All have a creative bend to them, like the floral embroidery high-quality temporary tattoo set that treats the recipient to self-expression and play while doing something daring. Another product we like is an embroidery kit that's perfect for someone who enjoys sewing and loves hedgehogs. These items are certainly quirky, but they're sure to make your recipient's life a little brighter—just as gift-giving should be.
