Growing up, stockings were for new toothbrushes and deodorant, and a Toblerone and an orange. Always a Toblerone and an orange. I’m a giver, and so I’ve decided to take a different line on stocking stuffers. I don’t like stocking stuffers that are purchased simply because they fit in a stocking. I love being able to come up with impressive gifts that are small in stature that just happen to fit in a stocking!

Stocking Stuffers for Her
This is a genius invention: the Towel Back is a headband with a cape-like towel drape to keep your wet hair off your back as it air-dries! I never blow dry and always get icky wet spots on my shirts. Hopefully Santa puts one in my stocking.
I drink an iced Venti Chai tea latte all year long. In the warm weather, it sweats. In the cold, my fingers get icy! Enter the Java Sok. I have a medium size for my Venti cups; my husband has a large for his large Dunkin’ iced tea. There are lots of fun colors and patterns to choose from! This would pair great with some fun metal straws and a gift card to her favorite coffee shop!
Back to the hair LOL! I have and love my silk pillowcase so much that I even bought one to use as a bassinet sheet to help with Grace’s newborn hair loss. This one even comes with a silk scrunchie as well.
These are my favorite sheet masks and I ask for a few every year!
And you can’t go wrong with gift cards!
Stocking Stuffers for Him
We had some Mike’s Hot Honey in a Hello Fresh chicken fingers meal and it was BOMB. So naturally, I’m putting some in my husband’s stocking so we can recreate it! I’ve also heard good things about this truffle hot sauce as well.
Some weeknights we don’t feel like our normal Netflix-and-Scroll routine so we play a few hands of a favorite card game! Phase 10 and Monopoly Deal have been our go-tos this past year! It’s really nice to take a break from screens and actually spend time together.
My husband is a runner but struggles with running in the dark after work. This is a great, unique idea to solve that problem! I was totally influenced by a social media ad, but I love that this headlamp has a wide, LED light strip to illuminate more but it also still has a normal spotlight on the side. If you really want to get safety-conscious, a reflective belt will alert drivers to his presence. Pairs great with some new sneakers under the tree!
Cologne is a popular gift but it is hard to pick out something so personal for someone else! I like this gift set because it has nine best-selling cologne samples plus a voucher for the recipient to pick out a full-sized bottle of their favorite!
Round it out with gift cards to his favorite coffee shop, gas station, sporting goods store, fast food chain– whatever!
Ideas for Littles
Jack has this personalized Yeti water bottle and he loves it! I bought it for excursions but he uses it every day in the house!
I love the idea of this mushroom teether! Neither of my kids has taken a pacifier, and I actually tried LOL! Grace loves sucking and chewing on fingers which can be painful for us! This teether is a great substitute and she can hold it herself!
I have heard great things about this musical toy! It’s great for travel and compact in size!
These Sesame Street socks have grippy bottoms and would end the sock-wearing struggles in our home.
Jack loves pressing the bubbles on his Pop-It and judging by the wide array of options on Amazon, they’re popular in other homes as well!
We keep a Water Wow pad in the car for those struggle moments when we all need a distraction. Even without the magic water pen, Jack likes flipping through the pages!
What’s going in your stockings this year?
