Blogmas Day 18: Ultimate Stocking Stuffers

Around our house, we take stockings very seriously. This year, I wanted to see what my friends and family had in mind, and wow, they came through. Keep reading for an array of awesome stocking gifts from the creative minds of my favorite people!

In the beauty realm:

• Travel size Makeup Erasers are the perfect gift for your resident makeup wearer. Idk what sort of magic is in these things, but they work so well

• Hand creams are a winter must have. My favorite is the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Travel Size

• Everyone needs a lip product in their stocking, and my budget choice is forever and always Candy Cane CapStick

• Travel size makeup is also great for stockings, and Sephora has a whole minis section to peruse
  

  

In the world of quirky stocking stuffers:

• Ornaments are always a great idea. A close pal got me a hilarious Birkenstock ornament this year! There’s a whole world of custom (even on amazon) and DIY ornaments too

• Socks are a great stocking stuffer, and I’ll mention these Imogene and Willie ones again, because they’re so freaking cute

• An assortment of greeting cards was an idea from my bestie, and it’s a good one! I find myself collecting greeting cards throughout the year, and why not share them with someone else? Mix and match not your thing? A nice set of blank cards like these are great too!
  

  

We also love a utilitarian stocking stuffer, and I have so many, we’re going to do a speed round:

• A USB desk fan because office buildings have two temps, and one of them is very hot

• A set of your giftee’s favorite pens - mine are Pilot Frixion Erasable pens

• A bag sealer for all your half eaten snacks

• A Stitchy for on-the-go wardrobe fixes like single stitching your tank strap to your bra strap for all day no-show

• An AirTag wallet or keychain for anyone in your life who’s a teensy bit forgetful
  

  

  

When it comes to candy, here are the universal favorites in my circle:

Nerd Rope, Nerd Gummy Clusters, Terry’s Chocolate Orange, Life Savers Storybook, Wiley Wallaby, and Ferrero Rocher

For miscellaneous, love these ideas:

Gift cards, lottery tickets, friendship bracelets, hand sanitizer, mini bottles, vitamins, toothbrush heads, undies, and scrunchies

A carefully curated stocking can be such a fun, personalized gift, even on a budget. I hope all of these ideas gave you some holiday inspirations!
