The good news is that we can help you out on the stocking-stuffer front. Trader Joe's has tons of options when it comes to finding little treats that are perfect for a holiday surprise. The best part is that you can pick them up while you're doing your regular grocery shopping, which means more time to kick back and actually enjoy the festive season. We've rounded up 12 of the most fun and tasty items you can add to a pal's stocking this December—and at less than $10 a piece, they can help you respect your budget, too.

This box of chocolatey-buttery goodness has already made an appearance in the Thanksgiving Fearless Flyer, so you'll want to make sure you get your hands on some before they're gone. Each box contains a mix of three cookies: almond thins half-coated in milk chocolate, a waffle cookie dipped in dark chocolate, and a butter cookie dunked in dark chocolate. Each 10-ounce box costs just $5.99.

Keep the Christmas flavors going into January with a canister of this medium-dark roast that gets a special boost of flavor from ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.

Sweet, savory and definitely crunchy—this snackable popcorn is a perfect gift for your favorite sweet-toothed friend. The peanut butter coating brings a little saltiness to the experience to help balance the caramel, which means each bite is rich with layers of flavor. If you're shopping for someone who loves peanut butter cups or Take 5 bars, branch out and snag a bag of their new favorite treat. Each bag costs $3.79.

Dole out the holiday cheer with a fun peppermint sweet like these coated pretzel thins. Each bite is dipped in a white chocolate-like candy coating and sprinkled with crushed candy canes for a treat that looks and tastes like a Christmas miracle. Pick up a bag for $2.99.

As a tea fanatic, I can attest that this minty green brew brings something exciting and delicious to a holiday drink lineup.

There's no stocking stuffer more classic than cocoa, and this mix is definitely a winner. Each 10-ounce canister can quickly turn out steamy mugs of sweet comfort when combined with hot milk or water—just add some mini marshmallows to the stocking to complete the essentials. This cocoa mix is an especially good gift for someone who already loves TJ's Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels, which inspired this cozy drink. Grab a tin for $5.49 while they last.
