A huge list of stocking stuffer ideas for kids with hyperlexia, including alphabet themed and number themed stocking stuffers.
Do you know how many times I have googled alphabet themed stocking stuffer ideas for kids or number themed stocking stuffer ideas for kids over the years? So many times.

Only I ended up disappointed because there never seems to be such a gift list.

I can easily find lots of great lists of general stocking stuffer ideas, but nothing perfect for hyperlexic kids, like my son. Although, if I must admit, he is super easy to buy for because his interests are so strong! However, sometimes I struggle to find one or two more items for his Christmas stocking.

This stocking stuffer gift list for kids with hyperlexia includes ideas related to some of their favorite topics: letters, numbers, outer space, geography, and periodic tables! Obviously, this gift list isn't exclusive for kids with hyperlexia and can be useful if you have a child without hyperlexia who is interested in these same topics.

I've included items from various price points, to fit every budget, and lots of these items could be picked up from the dollar store or bargain bins if you'd like to keep them under a certain price point. I also tried to include ideas that would cover a variety of ages, not just young kids with hyperlexia. But everything on this list should appeal to your kids with hyperlexia!
