You guys, let’s talk about stocking stuffers, the most underrated part of Christmas gifting. You know what they say…good things come in small packages, and that’s reason enough for me to fill these things to the dang brim! Think about allllll the goodies—from gift cards to accessories—you can fit inside them. Stocking stuffers are basically the cherry on top, and who doesn’t love a great cherry to polish off an ice cream sundae? Plus, the easiest way to get last minute gifts seems to be finding a ton of stocking stuffers. You guys, I’m totally guilty, so here are my favorite last minute stocking stuffers!
Heidi?s Holiday Decor:
Pottery Barn Embroidered Stockings, Green and Black Plaid Ribbon, Wrapping Paper (also love this winter scene and this rustic holiday set), and faux snowy pine greenery for wrapping, Heidi’s Outfits: Cents of Style Thermal, Cents of Style Socks (similar and very cute here)
Top favorite gifts to stuff that stocking
It’s easy to fall into gift wrapping exhaustion, especially if you save it all for Christmas Eve. But you guys, don’t skimp on the stockings! They are so much fun, and here’s the real treat: Stocking stuffers require less wrapping and less cleanup. How’s that for a holiday treat that only Mrs. Claus will truly appreciate? So, stuff those babies to the brim because I’m sharing my favorite gifts to stuff your stockings!
Favorite cozy stocking stuffers (Comfy Socks, DAVIDsTEA Dessert Loose Leaf Tea Gift Set, Fleece Lined Leggings)
The gift of comfort and joy takes on a whole new meaning in 2020. There’s nothing better than snuggling up at the end of the day, and honestly, who doesn’t love a nice comfy pair of socks to make it that much better? Bonus points if they’re fuzzy on the inside. If cozy socks aren’t at the top of your gift list, then snuggle up with this perfect Tea Set (they even have a night time tea named, “Mother’s Little Helper.” Clearly, they get us busy moms). While we’re working on turning our houses into mini spas, I also love gifting mini candles and these amazing fleece lined leggings.
Stocking Stuffers for Beauty Lovers (Kristin Ess Temporary Hair Tint (under $15) Jade Roller, and Whish Lip Balm)
If mommy was caught kissing Santa Claus, it’s probably because she had really soft lips, right? During the winter months, or if you live in a dry climate, the Whish Lip Balm is an absolute dream come true. It’s the lip balm dot com as they say…ok they don’t say that, but still. It’s awesome! While you’re at it, the Whish Body Butter is pretty amazing too. Give the gift of soft skin, comfort, and joy! Plus, can you ever really have too many beauty products? No way. No how.
And while you’re taking a couple of minutes of beauty time, this Jade Roller is perfect. It has a cool touch that’s really relaxing. It also helps brighten your complexion, reduces puffiness, and promotes blood flow. Bonus points if you get one that has a mini gua sha sculpting tool (like this one). This whole stocking is a one-two punch when it comes to a) giving someone the gift of some alone time for their beauty regime and b) making them look and feel amazing. If you have a beauty lover on your list, or maybe someone who just needs five seconds away from everything, this stocking will surely hit the nail on the head. And just because it’s fun and so many people have asked about it, stuffing your stockings with hair products like Kristin Ess Temporary Hair Tint or Coil Pack Hair Ties is another great stocking stuffer.
Stocking Stuffer Fitness Favorites: Resistance Bands (also love this set on Etsy), Motivational Water Bottle, KT Tape, and Reebok Lux Leggings
The best part about stocking stuffers? Sooo many fitness gifts and gadgets are small: resistance bands, KT Tape , and even water bottles. During the holiday season it’s always a good reminder that amidst the chaos we just have to move! If you have a resistance band lover, like me, give the gift of an even cuter set. Pair that with some booty hugging leggings, and you’re sure to win Christmas (hey, you, I’m talking to Mr. Claus over there)! Plus, we’ve got motivational water bottles to wet the whistle of any fitness lover!
You guys, I’ll let you in on a little secret: If all else fails, and you find yourself in a pinch, you know the days when even Amazon prime ship is slower than Rudolph on a foggy night and the kids are actively anticipating the pitter-patter of reindeer on the roof, gift cards will be your best friend. You can print them or get digital versions and hand write a card. The top digital gift cards in my house are for Game Stop, Google Play, and Amazon. Oh, and this Mrs. Claus is fueled by Starbucks, so you know that’s on my gift list.
Bonus: During this time, many of your local shops can use our support. Lots of local stores will make up gift cards for you if you ask them. It’s a great way to make future plans to visit your local spots.
xo,

My mom for sure ! She is the absolute best person and the most amazing grandma to my little boys! She?s the only one they have and she makes sure they will never know anything less than amazing! There is no one who drops everything for me and the kids like her ! She also has an autoimmune disease making her high risk for covid, but she masks and gloves up when we are in a bind and just helps without questioning anything! Pick her, she?s an Angel ??
I would give these wonderful gifts to my mom and my sister. My mom is a great mom and is always willing to help her kids out. My siblings and I really fail to tell our mom how much she is loved and appreciated. I would like her to know that we really think she is special. My sister deserves this as she is a single mom taking care of her daughter. She just had knee surgery and could really use some extra pampering.
I?d like to gift the items to my husband who just started a fitness journey for better health.
I would gift this to my mom because she works so hard and I do not give her enough credit for everything she does. She is truly a superhero like all moms are, and deserves to be pampered this holiday season. Mothers are miracle workers and surprising her with this gift would mean the world!!
I would ????LOVE this for myself for a change??? Before this Pandemic I worried about my older twin daughter in the Navy . She has been in going on 1 year this January. And still NOT been tested for Covid!! She is on a different command as of December 28 not knowing where she is going ? And for how long? Andddd mostly hoping ?she will get tested and EVERYONE going on that ship. I am beyond stressed out anxiety sky high!!
I would share this gift with my family. We all need a little pampering these days…
I would love to gift this to my dear friend Carrie Hanks, she lost her dad to Covid in Nov. and is devastated. She is a hard working mama of 2 boys who has now lost her daddy and is NOT looking forward to the holidays because of the pain. My heart breaks for her and i know this would brighten her Xmas!
The stocking bundle would be a great mom and bonus daughter gift. I could split with her. Christmas facials ?? My muscles always need the extra love. LOL
I would gift it to my mom- she as always is the most giving and unselfish person. This year has been no different!! When my Dad for sick, she didn?t hesitate to take care of EVERYTHING and Covid made it hard for others to assist her! But she did it all with Grace, love and extreme patience:)
Yep. Myself. Because making Christmas magic for 4 kids.. is hard! And Mamas deserve to be spoiled too. : )
I would split between myself and my mom!
My sister would want the massager kit since she works out all the time and would need it. But I would love it on my back since I have a horrible back.
