I love the idea of stocking stuffers, but it’s too easy to feel like the usual items are just highly packaged filler crap that will be trashed, broken, or forgotten by New Years. Stocking stuffers don’t have to be cheap, disposable gifts. With a little thought, you can find something fun and useful for every woman on your list.
These favorite (and a few unconventional) stocking stuffers won’t make you feel like you’re throwing your money away. Some are inexpensive, some are a little more spendy, but all will actually be used and loved. Choose accordingly.
High Heel Insoles
The gift that keeps on giving- these NASA approved high heel insoles will help her step out in her sparkliest of party shoes on New Years Eve without worrying about feet aching the next day. They're reusable too, for happy feet all year round.
Sleep Mask
Give the gift of a good night's rest with this cute, hand-sewn David Bowie inspired lightning sleep mask. Sweet dreams guaranteed.
Baggu x Folio Tote
Perfect for the plant lady in your life, this lightweight bag holds up to 50lbs but stashes in a compact 5x5 pouch. With straps roomy enough to hold in your hand or throw over your shoulder, this tote will transport your container monsteras and groceries in eco-friendly style.
Face Mask
Arguably the must have accessory of the year. Swap out the one-use surgical masks for these hand embellished artisan creations guaranteed to turn heads. They come with filter pockets too for those wanting more protection.
Handwriting jewelry
If a pandemic has thought us anything, it is that our ability to travel to be close to loved ones should not be taken for granted. A dainty handwriting bracelet is a sweet way to keep your loved ones close to heart.
Stainless Steel Straw
An eco-friendly straw to save the earth this Christmas. Jungle straws are made using non toxic, FDA approved materials and are dishwasher friendly. These come in a set with cleaning brushes and in their own 100% organic, biodegradable bamboo cases.
Shark Sauce
Look glowy and well rested for those zoom meetings. Fret not, no sharks have been harmed in the process of making this cult beauty favorite. Fans swear by this product that fights dark spots, brightens skin tone and hydrates.
Polymer Clay Earrings
Just because travel is limited doesn't mean you can't indulge in dreaming of the perfect getaway. These pretty hand-made earrings are like portals to another world, and are sure to elicit gasps of delight.
Chocolate soap
All of the indulgence with none of the calories- these chocolate soap bars are made from pure, soothing ingredients that pamper your skin. With mouthwatering names like Amber Chocolate, Chocolate Bar, Fudge Brownie and Raspberry Drizzle, who can resist?
Shower Steamers
Now that the once popular scented candles have fallen out of favor (read about how candles contribute to indoor air pollution), reach for these bath steamers instead to scent the air and bring about a state of zen.
Therapy Dough
Modeled after clay used by art therapists, this dough is infused with essential oils for stress relief.
Choose from lavender for calm, peppermint to increase energy and awareness, or orange to improve mood. Handmade in Portland, Maine.
And that's our list folks! We hope you've found some great ideas which will make their way to into your friends and family's stockings this Christmas. Support small businesses, and happy shopping!
