My wife worked in a fancy kitchen store for a while, and has strong opinions on just about every kitchen tool or utensil you can imagine, and to her credit I agree with most of them.
A while back she ordered a Rösle vegetable peeler and due to a shipping error, instead of one single peeler we were sent, what I assume to be, one entire case's worth of peelers.
Having now used it for several months I strongly believe this is the best vegetable peeler I have ever used. Also the blade is replaceable, which is, I think, pretty damn cool.
So since we have a bunch of them, pretty much everyone we know is getting one for Christmas.
They're pricey if you've got a bunch of stockings to stuff, but not outrageously so if you only need to get one or two for people you know enjoy cooking. And they're the kind of thing a lot of people probably wouldn't spend the extra money on themselves. If it weren't for my wife I'd probably have whatever the cheapest peeler in the kitchen aisle at target is, and it never would have crossed my mind that there was room for improvement.
Otherwise, I've never personally been disappointed to find a flashlight or pocket knife in my stocking.
My wife and I are on-and-off casual magic the gathering players, so a pack or two of that often finds its way into our stocking, substitute whatever your trading card game of choice is there.
Or various other small card or dice type games. It's kind of nice having some little game you can carry around in your backpack or purse and bust out when you have some time to kill with friends.
Small Lego sets
Fidget toys
Snacks
Soaps, lotions, lip balm, etc.
