Personalized Stocking Stuffers Under $30 in Canada

Looking for personalized stocking stuffers under $30 in Canada? The short answer: small engraved ornaments, wood magnets, steel keychains and illustrated cards all come in well under $30 and still carry a name, a photo or a pet portrait. At Ink & Oak Studio in Brampton, Ontario, every one is made to order in Canada, and shipping is free across Canada and to the contiguous US, so a $15 gift stays a $15 gift. Here are the stocking stuffers we'd pick, sorted by type.

Why personalize a stocking stuffer?

Small stocking gifts are easy to forget by New Year's. A small gift with someone's name, their kids' names or their dog's face on it tends to stick around: on the tree, on the fridge or on their keys. It also solves the "what do I get them?" problem for people who already have everything, because nobody else has this one.

Everything below is laser engraved into wood or steel, or illustrated from a photo you upload, so it's one of a kind. Engraving is permanent and won't peel like a vinyl decal.

Timing tip: since everything is made after you order, check our Christmas delivery dates before the stockings go up.

Personalized ornaments under $30

Ornaments are the classic stocking stuffer: small, flat and brought out every December.

Family name ornament

The Personalized Family Christmas Ornament (from $14.99) has the family surname in large script, everyone's first names and the year, engraved on a smooth birch disc or a natural bark slice. It's an easy pick for parents, grandparents or a sibling's household.

Pet photo ornament

The Custom Pet Photo Christmas Ornament (from $16.99) engraves a detailed portrait of their dog, cat or other pet from your photo, with the pet's name and a small paw print. Clear photos with the eyes in focus give the best result.

Baby's first Christmas ornament

For new parents, the Baby's First Christmas Ornament 2026 (from $14.99) carries the baby's name and birth date with a small engraved star and moon.

Star map ornament

The Star Map Christmas Ornament (from $19.99) engraves the night sky above a place on a date you choose, with names and the date around it. It's a thoughtful little gift for a partner, tucked into the toe of the stocking.

Engraved wood fridge magnets

Magnets are underrated stocking stuffers. They're light, they fit anywhere, and they get seen every day. The Personalized Family Name Fridge Magnet (from $14.99) has the same family-name design as our ornament, on a round wood magnet. For pet owners, the Personalized Pet Photo Fridge Magnet (from $16.99) engraves their pet's portrait and name. Browse more in engraved wood magnets.

Personalized keychains

A keychain is the stocking stuffer that leaves the house every day. Ours are brushed stainless steel, laser engraved front and back.

  • The Drive Safe Keychain (from $14.99) has a drive safe line on the front, such as Drive Safe I Love You or Best Dad Ever, or your own words, and the names of the people waiting at home on the back.
  • The Mom Keychain with Kids' Names (from $14.99) puts Mom, Mum, Mama, Grandma or Nana and up to six names on her keys.
  • The Custom Handwriting Keychain (from $16.99) engraves a signature or note in someone's own handwriting. Dark pen on white paper, photographed straight on, works best.

More styles, including photo and pet portrait keychains, are in engraved keychains.

Illustrated Christmas cards

A card can be the stocking stuffer, not just the tag on it. The Personalized Christmas Card, Illustrated from Your Photo (from $10.99) turns a family, couple, baby or pet photo into an illustrated 5x7 card with your message printed inside. Pair it with a small ornament or keychain and you've got a complete stocking gift for under $30.

Tips for ordering stocking stuffers

  • Check spelling twice. We engrave exactly what you type, including capitals and spacing.
  • Use a clear photo. In focus, good light, the face or pet filling the frame. Phone photos are fine.
  • Order the whole list at once. Shipping is free either way, and it saves you checking out several times.
