Confession: I love stocking stuffers more than I love big gifts.
You can really flex your creative muscle, and sometimes as the recipient, it's easier to put together a little wishlist of $3-15 items than picking out larger gifts.
Here are some of my favorite things for stockings. I hope you'll join me, Elise, Katie, and Zelle in sharing your stocking stuffer list today. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
+++++
1: Fun lipglosses. This one is the perfect combo, gloss on one side and Benetint on the other (love this stain on my lips and cheeks).
2: Mini-wine and champagne bottles, they will run you $2-10 each usually. I pick these up at the grocery store (wine minis) or World Market (champagne minis).
3: Raspberry French macaron mix (here), I am not over the macaron craze yet!
4: Travel-size hairspray, and Elnett is a pack leader with a cult following.
5: Love my small size of the Josie Maran Light, and it's $16 and lasts way longer than I expected. I use it on my hair and also as a facial moisturizer. Great for these cold months.
6: Aquaphor is a must for my dry winter hands, and bonus: also awesome for diaper rash. Not mine. The baby's. Ugh.
7: Little notepads like this "Thinking of you" one are stocking staples for me.
8: Le duh, Essie nail polishes. This one shown is Watermelon.
9: My favorite candy to find in my stocking? Jelly Belly jelly beans!
10: Silicone cupcake liners (like these) make me wonder how I ever baked cupcakes without them. A fun stocking stuffer, but practical, too.
So there you have it -- some of my tried-and-true stocking stuffers. What are your go-tos?
Love all your picks! I so need that lipgloss from Benefit!! Stocking Stuffers are the best!!
