On Christmas morning, the gifts under the tree are always something to look forward to. However, one of the things I look forward to the most is the stockings. Here’s a list of things I love to get in my stocking that you can use for your friends and family, too!
- Makeup
-
I think makeup is the thing I look most forward to receiving on Christmas. Whether it’s a restock of my favorite products or trying something new, I’m always eager to get my hands on these products. Some of my personal favorites are lip balm and other lip products. The Burt’s Bees Pomegranate Lip Balm and the Elf Glossy Lip Stains are everyday musts for me, so I love being gifted a restock in my stocking!
Stocking stuffers are also a great chance to buy travel or sample sizes of products you want to try before committing to the full-size bottles!
- Hair Products
-
Hair products are easy, trendy gifts with lots of options to choose from. Heat protectants, curling wands, straighteners, hair masks, and heatless curls are just a few products you can gift! While fun, these are also very practical and something I use every day.
- Jewelry
-
Jewelry is another fan favorite…and it doesn’t have to be expensive! T.J.Maxx has affordable pieces that are super cute and fun. Getting a new piece of jewelry is so exciting, and I know I’ll make good use of it! Not to mention, it’s the perfect size to fit in a stocking.
- Skincare
-
There are so many great options for skincare! Taking care of my skin is super important to me, and it’s always a fun way to try new things.
One of my favorite skincare items to receive is face masks. My favorite one at the moment is the Bliss Pumpkin Powerhouse mask because it leaves my skin so soft and glowy at an affordable price!
- Perfumes & Lotions
-
-
Nothing is better than smelling like a delight. Perfumes are a great gift that’ll fit in a stocking and can make someone really happy!
While many people have a specific scent, I love to try new ones! Sol De Janeiro has a ton of fun scents that get great reviews, so it’s hard to go wrong. Plus, they come in various sizes, so you don’t have to settle on one without trying it.
- Socks
-
Laugh all you want, but the older I get, the more I want things like socks. This year, I asked for these crew socks from American Eagle to wear with sneakers (but there are tons of other brands to choose from).
I also love receiving fun holiday socks to wear during the season or funny ones to wear during the school year that’ll make my day a little brighter.
- Nail Polish
-
If you know someone who loves getting their nails done but doesn’t want to spend a fortune on a nail appointment for them, you can get them a polish in their favorite color! There are tons of brands and shades out there, and it’s always fun to experiment.
- Books
-
Depending on how big your stocking is, these might not fit, but they’re a great gift! I love reading, and when someone gets me their favorite book, I find it both sentimental and useful. I’m always looking for new reads, so this helps me build my bookshelf and try new stories.
- Stationery
-
Stationery is one of my favorite gifts, and I think Christmas is the perfect occasion to ask for things that are fun but practical. You can get cute notepads, sticky notes, colorful pens, or even fun tape colors.
If you know someone who’s into scrapbooking, this could be a great way to help them stock up.
- Candy
-
Candy is a classic. After all, what’s Christmas without sweet treats? Chocolate is perfect around the holidays and tons of brands have treats that’ll get you in the spirit!
Dove Chocolates make their chocolate wrappers look like presents, complete with a bow. These are festive and yummy, too!
- Gift Cards
-
Sometimes, when it comes to gift-giving, the best way to go is to give the receiver many options! Gift cards are a great way to make sure you get something the stocking receiver will love.
Get them a card to their favorite store, and let them have fun shopping after the holidays are over!
Stuffing my mom’s stocking each Christmas is one of my favorite parts of the season. I hope you can use these gifts to develop ideas for yourself or your loved ones. Happy Holidays!
