Top Tech Stocking Fillers for 2025

Stocking fillers might be small, but that doesn’t mean they have to be forgettable. In fact, some of the most useful and appreciated Christmas gifts are the compact tech items that make everyday life easier. From practical gadgets to clever little upgrades, tech stocking fillers are ideal for adding value without overspending.

Whether you’re buying for family, friends, teenagers or even yourself, here’s a comprehensive guide to the best tech stocking fillers for 2025 — combining affordability, usefulness and a bit of festive fun.

Wireless Earbuds

Wireless earbuds remain one of the most popular small tech gifts, and for good reason. They’re compact enough to fit in a stocking, but practical enough to be used daily.

Great choices for stocking fillers include:

  • Apple AirPods (earlier generations)
  • Samsung Galaxy Buds
  • JBL wireless earbuds

These are perfect for commuting, workouts, casual listening or video calls. Refurbished options are especially appealing at Christmas, as they allow you to gift trusted brands at a much lower cost.

Portable Power Banks

A power bank is one of those gifts people don’t realise how much they need until they have one. Small, lightweight models are ideal as stocking fillers and can be lifesavers on busy days.

  • Compact 5,000–10,000mAh capacity
  • USB-C fast charging
  • Lightweight and pocket-friendly designs

They’re ideal for travel, festivals, long workdays or school runs — and pair brilliantly with a new phone or tablet gift.

Bluetooth Trackers

Bluetooth trackers make thoughtful stocking fillers for anyone who’s always misplacing their keys, wallet or bag. These small devices link to a smartphone app and help locate everyday items quickly.

  • Attach to keys, backpacks or luggage
  • Track items via smartphone
  • Discreet, lightweight design

They’re especially popular gifts for students, commuters and frequent travellers.

Charging Cables & Magnetic Accessories

Charging accessories might not sound exciting, but they’re always appreciated — especially high-quality or magnetic versions.

  • USB-C to USB-C fast charging cables
  • MagSafe charging pucks
  • Multi-device charging leads

They’re practical, affordable and perfect as backup chargers for bags, cars or desks.

Phone Stands & Holders

Phone stands are small gifts that add surprising convenience to everyday life.

  • Desk stands for video calls or streaming
  • Car mounts for navigation
  • Foldable travel stands

They’re great for home working, online learning, or following recipes in the kitchen — and take up very little space.

Smart Home Mini Gadgets

Mini smart home accessories are ideal stocking fillers for anyone interested in smart tech but not ready to invest heavily.

  • Smart plugs
  • LED smart bulbs
  • Compact smart speakers

They’re easy to set up and can instantly make everyday routines feel a bit more futuristic.

Stylus Pens

A stylus pen is a great stocking filler for tablet and phone users alike. It’s particularly useful for note-taking, drawing or more precise touchscreen navigation.

  • Universal capacitive stylus pens
  • Compatible with phones and tablets
  • Lightweight and easy to store

They’re especially handy for students or creative users.

Tech Organisers & Accessory Cases

Help keep cables, earbuds and chargers tidy with a compact tech organiser. These small cases make a big difference, especially for people who travel or commute frequently.

  • Protects accessories from damage
  • Keeps bags clutter-free
  • Ideal for holidays and work trips

Refurbished Tech as Stocking Fillers

Refurbished tech makes particularly good stocking fillers. Small gadgets, accessories and older-generation devices can often be picked up for much less, while still being fully tested and reliable.

You can browse our range of refurbished tech to find stocking fillers that balance value, quality and sustainability. And if you’re clearing out old gadgets before Christmas, you can also trade in unwanted tech and put the value towards your festive shopping.

When it comes to Christmas stockings, thoughtful tech gifts don’t have to be big — they just need to be useful.
