Stocking Stuffer Ideas (That Don’t Suck!)


Can you believe it’s only 33 days until Christmas?! I can hardly believe it’s come up that quickly when it feels like it was only summer a few weeks ago! But, that being said, I love the holidays, so we’re definitely in full holiday-mode at my house (much to my fiancé’s dismay), and I’ve gotten a jump start on my Christmas gift shopping. One thing I haven’t really even started thinking about until I wrote this blog post though was stocking stuffers! Is it just me, or do you also always forget about stocking stuffers until the last minute?! If you’re in the same boat as me, here are some ideas that work for just about everyone on your list (and aren’t boring)!

BEAUTY & HAIR PRODUCTS

One of the best things you can add to a stocking (in my opinion) is mini sized beauty products! Whether it’s a mini lipstick or mascara (or maybe even deodorant, cologne or shaving cream), getting something new to try is always a win. You also can’t go wrong with essentials like hair brushes and scrunchies!

TECH ACCESSORIES

I feel like whenever people hear the word “tech”, they automatically assume it’s gotta be expensive - not necessarily! Know someone who’s always dropping their phone? Try a Popsocket! Or someone who’s always taking selfies? Why not add a mini ring light!

THINGS TO KEEP COZY

If you live somewhere that experiences the unforgiving winter cold, you know that cozy is a lifestyle! That’s why you can’t go wrong with a set of cozy socks or even some fuzzy slippers! If socks & slippers aren’t their thing & you still want to give something to cozy up their space, why not a candle in one of their favourite scents or some string lights?!

SWEETS & TREATS

I’m pretty sure I don’t know a single person who would turn down chocolates & candy in their stocking! One of my personal favourites is the Sour Watermelon Smart Sweets, but there’s also nothing I look forward to about winter more than a cup of hot chocolate, especially if it’s got a peppermint twist! This candy cane hot chocolate is sure to impress!

MICELLANIOUS ITEMS

Looking for something a little more unique & specific to add to their stocking? If the person you’re shopping for is sneaker head, or even just wants to clean their sneakers, why not a sneaker cleaning kit? Or if jewelry is more their cup of tea, an affordable set of basic, everyday earrings works great too!
