Stocking Stuffers Under $20 That Are Actually Useful

This retractable lint roller is a game changer! It unscrews like a lipstick, locks in place and rolls to collect lint onto the adhesive paper roll. When you're finished using, twist it to retract it back in the case until your next use. The case ensures you won't collect dust when you're not trying to, so the adhesive rolls of paper, which you can buy separately as refills, will last longer than a typical lint roller. It's great for business travelers, pet owners and anyone who needs on-the-go touch-ups.

If the person you're shopping for has AirPods or is asking for them this year, this cleaning pen is a no-brainer stocking stuffer. The silicone end can take care of all that gross ear wax that builds up in the crevices of AirPods. The other end of the pen features a brush, which is great for dusting off keyboards, cameras and other tech products. The size makes it easy to tote around or keep at a small workspace.

Ok, so this one is somewhat useful. While the cute factor is the main selling point of this pick, it does actually work and can take care of crumbs, dirt and dust. It'd be great to keep on hand in a workspace or car. One reviewer wrote, "I bought this little vacuum as a joke, but it actually helps me clean the dust on my desk. With the two different attachments, it helps me go in between cracks and small spaces."

This stocking stuffer would actually come in handy right away on Christmas morning for a fun family pancake breakfast. This pancake pen allows you to create pancakes in any shape you can imagine and draw. If your freehanding skills are subpar, use the pen to fill in cookie-cutter shapes. You can technically mix the pancake batter directly in the pen, but after testing it, we found it's easiest to premix the batter and use the pen for adding to the griddle. The pen fits into the door of a refrigerator, which is great for keeping any leftover batter on hand.

The easiest way to make your at-home coffee feel fancier? Frothed milk or cream. This affordable frother is so easy to use and would be the perfect stocking stuffer for any coffee lover.
