The term "stocking stuffer" is often misused, in my opinion. If it’s too big or heavy to fit in an actual stocking hanging on your mantle, it’s not a stocking stuffer—it’s a bonus gift. While those are nice, this article stays true to the definition. We’re sharing gifts that are compact enough to tuck neatly into a stocking yet still pack a punch of delight for bourbon lovers.
Bonus points go to items with instant gratification because, let’s face it, Christmas morning with kids (or just the excitement of the day) calls for something you can enjoy right away.
Now, since this is a bourbon lover’s gift blog, let me just say: if sipping whiskey on Christmas morning doesn’t align with your holiday vibe, feel free to click away. For everyone else, let’s dive into this list of true stocking stuffers:
1. Bourbon Baggers 5 Variety Travel Tin Stack
Okay, shameless plug here—but we’d be remiss not to highlight this ultimate stocking stuffer. The 5 Variety Travel Tin Stack includes five pocket-sized tins (think Altoid size), each containing three Bourbon Baggers.
For the uninitiated, a Bourbon Bagger is a teabag filled with charred or toasted oak designed to rapidly age and barrel-finish your bourbon, whiskey, rum, or even tequila right in the glass. Just steep the bag in your drink for five minutes, and voilà—your spirit is transformed.
This stack features all five flavor options:
- Toasted Oak: Subtle vanilla and caramel notes.
- Charred Oak: Deep, smoky barrel richness.
- Smoked Oak: Intense campfire vibes.
- Toasted Cherry: Hints of cherry sweetness balanced by toasted wood.
- Toasted Cherry Cinnamon: Perfectly spiced for the holidays, creating a refined cinnamon whiskey ideal for Christmas morning sipping by the fire.
The compact design makes this set an easy addition to any stocking, and the variety offers hours of experimentation for the adventurous bourbon lover.
2. Bourbon Baggers Velvet Gift Sacks
Not ready to commit to the full stack? Our velvet gift sacks are a festive alternative! Each contains five Bourbon Baggers and is available in two flavors:
- Toasted Cherry Cinnamon: Perfect for holiday cheer.
- Smoked Oak: For a bold, smoky infusion.
These pouches aren’t just practical—they’re downright classy, making them a thoughtful gift for whiskey enthusiasts. Plus, at $14.99, they’re budget-friendly stocking stuffers with a luxury feel.
3. Fidget Spinner Whiskey Glasses
Who says adults can’t have a little fun? These fidget spinner whiskey glasses are a unique blend of playfulness and functionality. The base is designed to spin, letting the glass gently aerate your drink with each turn.
Perfect for passing the time while unwrapping presents or simply marveling at the engineering, these glasses bring a touch of whimsy to Christmas morning. Pair one with a Bourbon Bagger for an unforgettable gift combo.
4. Toasted Cherry Simple Syrup
Sometimes, a cocktail is in order—and this toasted cherry simple syrup is just the thing to elevate your bourbon creations. Made with real cherry wood and a hint of toasted wood flavor, it’s a fantastic complement to both classic and creative whiskey drinks.
This syrup fits neatly into a stocking and provides instant gratification for anyone ready to mix up a drink on the spot. Bonus: it pairs beautifully with the Toasted Cherry Bourbon Baggers for an infused masterpiece.
5. Bourbon Baggers Full-Size Box (15 Baggers)
Did you know our full-size Bourbon Baggers box is stocking-friendly, too? Containing 15 individually wrapped baggers, this box is compact enough to tuck into a stocking but packs plenty of flavor experimentation potential.
Whether your recipient is a whiskey newbie or a seasoned pro, this set lets them explore the art of barrel-finishing their favorite spirits in their own glass.

When it comes to true stocking stuffers, Bourbon Baggers’ versatility and compact design make them the ultimate choice. Whether you opt for the 5 Variety Travel Tin Stack, a Velvet Gift Sack, or the full-sized box, there’s a flavor and format for every whiskey lover.
