Morphology
The noun is directly compositional: 'stocking' (the holiday sock) combined with 'stuffer' (something that stuffs or fills) yields an item used to fill a stocking. Although the phrase ties to a Christmas tradition, its meaning (a small object used to fill a stocking) is immediately inferable from the constituents for learners who know both words.
Etymology
Stocking stuffer comes from the Christmas idea of hanging a stocking by the fire and filling it with tiny treats, because a stuffer is something that fills the sock. So, a stocking stuffer means 'a small gift' put inside a stocking.
