Stockings are my jam, meaning I’m particularly good at coming up with great stocking stuffers. A lot of people are always stumped as to what to put in a stocking and I say anything goes really. Just try to be creative. I tend to go by a few rules if you’re interested. Number one is that of course it’s small enough to fit in a stocking. Number two is to keep the costs down or it can get really pricey. There’s plenty of places to get inexpensive gifts, you just have to take your time and search. The trick is to keep the gifts thoughtful and special for each person.
If you’re not into searching aimlessly, you’ve clicked on the right blog. I’m here this holiday season to make things a little easier for you. If you haven’t seen my last few gift guides, take a look at these:

Here’s the list of stocking stuffers that will help you create the best stocking experience your family has ever had or at least that’s what I’m hoping for. You can thank me later.
Hands and Feet
This is a category that works well for stocking stuffers because the items are usually small. Also, sometimes people don’t spend money on these little things that will make them feel special.

Amazon – Honey Paraffin Wax Peel Off Hand Mask
Amazon – Wooden Foot Massage Roller
Amazon – J.R. Watkins Moisturizing Hand Cream

Amazon – 2pc Spa Microfiber Wristbands
Amazon – Strawberry Softening Heel and Foot Mask
Amazon – Glass Nail File Buffers with Cases 5pcs

Skincare
Skincare is so important because it’s the largest organ that we have and again, we don’t always buy these things for ourselves. Give the gift of pampering and you won’t regret it. My Mom looks forward to her stocking every year and if she didn’t get her favorite soaps and lotions, she would be highly upset.

Accessories
Accessories are usually small enough to fit in a stocking so go crazy with all of these cute and fun things. I have my eye on the Grinch earrings and the fanny pack.

For Men
Sometimes we tend to forget about the men because they seem like they really don’t care, but secretly I think they do. Every man I’ve given a stocking to loves it (the stocking is the gift). I love trying to find fun things that he would not have thought of and love to see their faces while opening the presents.

For Everybody
These can be for anyone, man or woman. There are so many weird and wonderful gifts out there for anyone in your life. From notebooks to water bottles and mugs, etc. Look for staples that have a twist to it like a fun color. Also, look for unique items that you’ve never seen before. There’s so many new and exciting products out there.

So, if you’re still stumped as to what to get, the key is thinking of their personalities, their hobbies, their likes and dislikes and buying accordingly. There’s nothing better than a gift that fits you perfectly.
