70+ CHRISTMAS STOCKING STUFFER IDEAS FOR WOMEN & MEN.
You guys already know I’m not the biggest fan of Christmas. However, there is one thing I do really love about the Christmas season, the Christmas stocking! Or Christmas Sock, whatever you want to call them. You know, those fancy giant things that look like a sock but would never fit anyone’s foot . You hang them from your fireplace mantle. Yeah, those things! Actually, in my old house we had to hand them from the staircase because we didn’t have a fireplace. What the f*ck right?
Anyhow, you stuff those big bad boys with all kinds of goodies. That’s what I love about Christmas, and I’m not talking about going through my own stocking. I’m talking about planning and getting the items for other people’s Christmas stockings. I love coming up with new ideas every year to keep it different, but also sticking to the good ol’ items you know people want/need. Since I consider myself the “queen” of stocking stuffers, I thought I’d do you all a favour by sharing a list of ideas for both guys and girls to make your stocking stuffing easy this year!
Check it out below and let me know what you’d add, that way I can continue to be the queen of Christmas stocking stuffing!
PSA - There is literally no categorization to this list, which is sort of getting to my overly organized self, but I was just typing as I thought it out! Deal with it.
Women
Undies, and if you call them panty’s I’ll punch you in the throat. Such a gross word. Underwear is so easy to roll up and shove into a Christmas stocking.
Books or magazines, again magazines are very easy to roll up into a stocking.
Jewelry – earrings, necklaces, bracelets. Check out my girl Evie Atelier for jewelry that serves a purpose, she has healing stone bracelets and now necklaces!
Winter accessories – scarves, gloves, toques.
Hair products – dry shampoo, actual shampoo and conditioners, gel, hair mouse, volumizing products, hair masks, argan oil.
Bamboo tangle free hairbrush.
Hair ties or scrunchies.
Bath and Body Products. I pretty much buy most of my self care items from Soapstones Natural Skincare. They have hand and body lotions, shaving butters, lipchap’s, natural deodorants, bar and hand soaps, bath bombs, bath salts and bubble baths. Basically pretty much anything you might want for pampering your loved one is there! My absolute fave scents are their Pink Sugar and Muskoka Cranberry, the latter scent being the PERFECT scent for the holiday season. Since starting the list I have officially become a Soapstone Ambassador and you can get 20% off on your orders by using my personalized code, MeghanG20. Happy shopping!
L'Oreal Paris Lash Paradise Mascara & Voluminous Primer – Don’t even bother with any other brand of mascara, whomever the lady in your life is, trust me she wants this mascara. You’ll be the Christmas freakin’ hero by putting this bad boy into her Christmas stocking.
Candles, I’m currently obsessed with Goodness B Products candles. She just started her company so right now all she has available for purchase, I believe, is Twisted Peppermint and Hot Apple Cider. I grabbed the last Fall Morning candle she had, so sorry, not sorry.
