Cute and Budget-Friendly Stocking Stuffers

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UFL chapter.

When it comes to holiday gifting, some can find a needle in a haystack while others need a little more help. If you’re searching for the perfect thoughtful, yet inexpensive stocking stuffers for your loved ones, here are some great ideas to consider:

Voluspa Candle 
There’s nothing more comfy in the winter than a fuzzy blanket and an aromatic candle. Candles are simple, yet classy and can be used all season long. Voluspa has great scents, and the pretty designs make great décor too.

#GIRLBOSS 
Give your friends and family the gift of inspiration with this super-motivating book by Sophia Amoruso, the Nasty Gal CEO who documents her trials and triumphs on the road to becoming, well, a girl boss!

Initialed Mug 
A pretty and personalized mug can make the perfect gift, and because they are generally inexpensive, you can even get a bunch. Anthropologie has a wide variety of initialed mugs in different patterns and colors.

Phone Case 
While we’ll leave the actual phone gifting to Mom and Dad, there is nothing stopping you from helping to keep your loved ones’ phones protected and trendy. Nordstrom carries a great variety of cases to fit any personality.

EOS (Evolution of Smooth) Lip Balm 
Gone are the days of boring lip balm sticks. The latest trend comes in fun shapes. With scents like vanilla mint and melon, these cute little spheres hold months of TLC for your lips.

Starbucks Gift Card 
When it doubt, gift cards are an easy, yet thoughtful option. With all of the holiday spirit and festive flavors Starbucks offers during this time of year, your friends and family will love being treated to a cup of peppermint mocha or even classic hot chocolate! 

Lokai Bracelet 
This symbolic bracelet has been worn by celebrities and collegiettes alike. It is infused with elements sourced from the highest and lowest points on Earth to represent the balance between lows and highs in life.

JARS by Dani 
JARS by Dani may be the easiest and most portable treat there is. The desserts are basically cupcakes that come preassembled in mason jars. This adorable and delicious gift is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. 

Hopefully now the task of filling those stockings is a little easier. And don’t worry, if you like these items so much that you just have to buy some for yourself, we won’t tell.
