15 Favorite Amazon Items Under $5 (perfect stocking stuffers!)

{this post contains affiliate links}

Every holiday season all the bloggers pull out their Gift Guides, and, to be honest, I find it a bit overwhelming. Not to mention, I miss seeing their regular content. Anyway, that is the reason that I, as one such aforementioned "blogger" don't usually (well, more like EVER) post gift guides.
That said, I do LOVE Amazon, and stockings are always a pretty big deal around here for us (we go all-out with them) so I thought I'd compile a little list of some of my favorite Amazon products that are under $5, all of which make great teacher or neighbor gifts or stocking stuffers!

1. Water Beads. My kiddos LOVE water beads, and they provide hours of fun. In the summertime I like to add them to the kiddie pool for them to splash with. 
2. This Maybelline Lipstick Color is so pretty! 
3. Water Wow. My kiddos love using these, especially in the car when we travel. 
4. This Harmonica is a great fun gift for either a child or an adult. 
5. Reuseable Straws (these come with a cleaning brush too!).  We use reusable straws all the time around here. 
6. Silly Putty. Adri LOVES silly putty and begs to play with it. I actually prefer it to slime (which she managed to get in her sister's hair not once, but twice).
7. Mrs. Meyers Cleaning Spray. This stuff smells SO good! 
8. Dishwashing Pads. These last way longer than regular kitchen scrubbies. 
9. Mini Wild Animal Set. The kids both love stuff like this. 
10. This key chain is the perfect gift for a dad! 
11. Everyone loves a game of Go Fish!, right? Here's one for only $2.99! 
12. A fun fact about me. I'm a massive fan of Sharpies. Maybe I'm a dork, but I'd be THRILLED to get some new Sharpies for Christmas. These Metallic Silver ones are really pretty too. 
13. Mugs are great gifts too. Here's one for a teacher, one for the special guy in your life, and my favorite, a copper Moscow Mule Mug (the bummer is that with shipping it's more than $5).
14. This Wine Bottle Stopper is beautiful and would make a nice gift paired with a bottle of wine.
15. My Pony. This is one of Adri's favorite books, and we read it all the time. I think that I should make a separate, books-under-$5 gift guide though since I have so many good ones!
