by Jack Qu'emi Gutiérrez

While you might think that larger presents would get the most attention, the tinier, clever ones are also pretty great. Looking for some extras to throw into gift bags? Try getting some enamel pins to use as stocking stuffers.

Pins can be attached to the lapels of a shirt, a backpack, hat, or simply displayed on a cork board for guests to enjoy. There are customizable options, as well as pithy little pins you'll want to buy as is. Like puns and pop culture references? Get an enamel pin with a character from your favorite show. Maybe you're just a big fan of a certain type of food —there's a pin for that, too.

These 25 pins can make amazing gifts — plus, who says you have to give one away? There's always the option of keeping them for yourself. These creative little accessories allow for a unique way of showcasing your favorite games and music while supporting independent artists. Simply put, there's a pin for everything, and you'll find a bunch of rad ones below.
