The Thoughtful Stocking Stuffer

Okay, so I am majorly into Christmas and already well into my own shopping for this holiday season. In my own family tradition, we always open our stockings first and then spend a good deal of time opening presents the rest of the morning. I love buying gifts this time of year, and I personally feel that stocking stuffers deserve the same thoughtfulness typically put towards a regular Christmas gift. Stocking stuffers should be those small presents that you did not even realize you wanted, or needed, and Santa just happened to know that was exactly what belonged in your stocking that very Christmas morning!🎄🎅🏻

 

 

Due to stocking stuffers being a crucial topic, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite choices – you’ll be so happy Santa didn’t have to make any last minute travels to the drug store….!

 

  1. I recently became a fan of Kiehl’s, and this travel set would be a perfect fit to any Christmas stocking. Their Ultra Facial Cream is so good on my face, I can’t even imagine what this would for my hair! ($15) 
  2. This velvet hair tie from J.Crew has been on my personal wish list for ages and the “academic green” is the perfect holiday accessory for a preppy Christmas stocking.  ($16.50)
  3. Pretty much every Christmas of my life, I have always had a loofah from Bath and Body hiding in the foot of my stocking. This gold one literally looks like an ornament, and you know it’s going to be soft, because Bath and Body has the best loofahs out of anyone (it’s true!! – they are so good for my skin.) I’ve been using them for the last decade and I’m not stopping anytime soon… ($4.50)
  4. I know this seems a little pricey for a tiny bottle of hairspray, but I swear by this stuff. Bumble and Bumble makes my curls stay in, while also maintaining their softness. I hate when hairspray makes my hair feel crunchy, so trust me – this is worth it. ($16)
  5. This butterball bath bomb gives off a vanilla scent and will keep you from having dry skin after a nice hot bath. A bath bomb is the perfect addition to any stocking – just make sure you keep it secure in its paper bag so it doesn’t get on anything else! ($4.95)
  6. THIS. Now, this is literally the best shaving cream I have ever tried, EVER. The lavender scent is my absolute favorite! The smell is extremely calming and the bottle lasts you for months. You literally only need to put the tiniest amount on and it works perfectly. I always use cremo now, so a stocking would be the perfect way to introduce someone to this awesome product. ($7.99)
  7. I’m personally really into playing games with my family and friends, and Phase 10 is by far the best card game I’ve played with them. It’s hard not to get super competitive, but it really is blast and a staple for any household. This is a great addition to almost any stocking! ($5.99)
  8. This pomegranate sleep mask from Sephora not only looks festive, but will leave your gift recipient feeling merry and bright! The mask brightens your face while also relaxing your skin. These are the best “go-to”, because who doesn’t love a night in with a great face mask? ($4)
  9. These plush socks are so festive and cute! Plus, everyone must receive a pair of fuzzy socks for the holidays. It’s practically mandatory. So why not have adorable reindeer on them?? ($15)
  10. Lastly, no stocking is complete without candy. Specifically, chocolate. Because chocolate is good for that Christmas spirit! Dylan’s Candy Bar is a New York City classic, and this chocolate bar set will satisfy that candy craving on Christmas morning! ($11)Make sure you check out the blog soon for upcoming gift ideas!
