History of Stocking Stuffers

Did you know that stocking stuffers originated from the legend of St. Nicholas? According to the Smithsonian magazine, "oranges were often placed in stockings to represent the gold balls that St. Nick left in each stocking in the beautiful-daughters-distraught-father legend, along with trinkets." Although MINISO doesn't carry fresh oranges, our stores are filled with trinkets and knick-knacks that make great stocking stuffers or small gifts.
