You know the classic old Christmas poem: "The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that someone would fill them with great gifts." I'm going off memory here, so that might be a little off, but it's still true. Filling a stocking with the best gifts can be something of a challenge. There are space constraints, for one, and it's tricky to find enough stuff to fit inside of one without going overboard.
Thankfully we've put together this guide to the best stocking stuffers to help you along.

The U.S. Army is getting into the world of eSports after failing to meet its recruitment target for the first time in more than 10 years.
