How the generator picks items
Stockings work when they balance 3-5 categories: consumables(food, drink), useful (premium versions of small everyday items), treats (chocolate, candy), novelty(small fun objects), and premium-small (a single nicer item anchoring the stocking).
The generator picks one from each category, ensuring the total stays within your budget. Hit Regenerate to swap in different items.
