A curated list of smaller gifts for stuffing stockings with a large impact!
GARMENT TLC
shoe shapers
If you’re unfamiliar, shoe shapers are used to reduce moisture (read: combat odors) and help hold the shape of your nicer shoes when they’re not being worn. These would be especially perfect if paired with the gift of a pair of shoes!
sweater comb // sweater stone
The sweater comb is intended for removing pilling from a finer knit and the sweater stone is to be used for a heavier knit. You can also find the comb here and the stone here.
wash & stain bar
I think everyone could benefit from one of these universal-use laundry bars. Also available here!
fabric shaver
For all of your fabric pilling removal needs — I use mine on my sweaters and leggings the most. I loathe pilling.
PERSONAL CARE
stay-put hair bands
I love these hair ties because they don’t budge! Perfect for everyday, but I especially appreciate them during workouts. You can find the thick bands here and the thin bands here as well.
makeup towels
Weezie’s are the cutest — they literally have “stain me” embroidered on them. 😂 I also love this pair from The Pillow Bar!
hand moisturizer / body cream
This brand has become such a favorite in our family because my husband’s family has sensitive, but extremely dry hands so they all struggle to find products that are effectively moisturizing without being irritating. This brand makes their products with goat’s milk and they seem to be the best solutions for my family members!
sweat mitigating lotion
I’ve talked before about my battle with hyperhidrosis and all of the ways I have come to manage it in my life (even during pregnancy!) so if you’ve read any of those posts, you have seen me mention this product. My needs pertain to my hands and feet, but the brand has offerings for wherever you sweat — literally providing options from head-to-toe — so if someone you love is suffering from excess sweat, grant them the gift of confidence with one of these helpful products! You can also find their products available here!
hair care set
I’m completely Olaplex obsessed and I think this gift set is perfectly suited as a stocking stuffer.
bubble bath
Give the gift of relaxation and “me time” with this bottle of bubble bath for someone that enjoys a good soak.
gel eye pads
Think after this past year we could all use some eye gel patches. 😅 I love to use mine, especially in the mornings after Sophie has had a rough night’s sleep and the bags under my eyes are massive, but even before having a baby I loved using them. Under eye gels are one of life’s little luxuries that everyone loves!
TASTY TREATS
sweets
See’s Candies is a confection institution (since 1921!) and you can’t go wrong with any of their treats. My personal favorites are the caffé latté lollypops and these “little pops“.
Sugarfina is the obvious modern candy household name, but for great reason! They make awesome treats! Grab a pre-chosen candy bento box or build your own for a more bespoke gift.
Fran’s Chocolates is a popular fine candy shop in Seattle that is famous for their caramels. They make all kinds of delicious treats, but their caramels are really what they’re known for.
food rubs
You can’t go wrong with anything from Williams-Sonoma! I love the flavor that I linked above, but also like the sound of this mini set and this set.
red clay anything
Spice up your life! Depending on your recipient’s preferences, you could gift them hot sauce, spices, or honey.
HOME GOODS
usb candle lighter
No more ugly butane lighters or fiddling with matchsticks. This gift is perfect for the candle / incense lover!
trinket / jewelry holder
For someone who loves their jewelry! Would be very sweet to pair with the gift of earrings or necklace.
phone stand w/ light
Both fun and practical! Aren’t we all doing a lot more Zoom meetings and FaceTime calls now?
flower pops
For the loved one with a flourishing green thumb!
TRAVEL
compact detangling brush
Perfect to pop into a carryon or even into the personal item bag (backpack, purse, etc.).
extra battery pack
In this day and age, who wouldn’t benefit from an extra battery pack when traveling?! This comes in a set of two so they’ve always got power.
travel steamer
This little (yet mighty!) travel steamer will do just the trick for the jetsetter in your life!
