Great Stocking Stuffer Ideas + Giveaway

I know I know, we have six weeks till Christmas, but it is never too soon to start get stocking stuffer ideas. I have always loved stockings. Some of my favorite things have been gifts I have gotten in my stocking, and something about them just has always appealed to me. In turn I probably think the most about stocking stuffers for my family. I wanted to share some great stocking stuffer ideas with you guys today because maybe you need a little inspiration!

Great-Stocking-Stuffer-Ideas

Lululemon: When you think of Lululemon, you think of the workout clothes, but there are a few things that would make great stocking stuffers. My two personal favorites are their no show socks and their skinny headbands! I have several pairs of the socks, and while I thought the idea of spending $14 for socks was ridiculous, I am obsessed now. I plan to get a few people socks this year, and I am for sure asking for a few pairs. The headbands are amazing. I have five of them and wear them daily. These are both perfect stocking stuffers for any lady in your life who loves to work out or just hang out in their active wear haha.

Starbucks Gift cards: For the coffee lover, this is such a great gift. People balk at the idea of gift cards because they are impersonal, but if the person you are buying them for loves coffee, clearly you are putting thought into the gift. I always love getting Starbucks gift cards in my stocking.

Softlips lip balm: I have talked MANY MANY times about my love of Softlips products. Right now they have a special edition flavor of Salted Caramel out. Ummm, Winter + Salted Caramel = Heaven! You can find the Salted Caramel flavor at MOST major retailers in the US like Target, Wegmans and Tops. I love the fun Salted Caramel flavor to mix up my usual love of Vanilla Mint. The 3-pack pictured above sells for between $7.99 and $8.99, so it makes a great value stocking stuffer. This would be perfect for a friend, sister, mom, niece, cousin, etc. Even men I know love them! It’s a really great gift to give, since is has the convenient “To” and “From” labeling on the package – no need for wrapping! It will also fit nicely inside a stocking. Check out Softlips on Facebook Instagram and Twitter to see all their holiday goodies!

Minimergency Kits: They have these cute little kits for men and women and last year I even gave them to my mom and Andrew. They both loved them! These not only make great stocking stuffers, but great gifts. If you have several people to buy small gifts for, these are stellar options! They have all the essentials for any emergency you have.

Cute Tumblers: These make great gifts! I have gotten tumblers in my stocking many times. I love these cute ones from Bando and Kate Spade makes great ones too! Such a great gift for anyone, especially gals on the go!

These items all make great stocking stuffer ideas and for those of us who are very busy during holiday time. Great easy stocking stuffer ideas are a lifesaver!

GIVEAWAY CLOSED AS OF 11/22

Would you want to win a 3-pack of those amazing Softlips packs? I am giving away five 3-packs of Softlips balm including the Salted Caramel flavor! All you have to do is sign up for my email list and leave a comment below telling me that you did and what you are hoping to get in your stocking this year.

Thank you Softlips for sponsoring this post. All opinions expressed are my own.

  15. I love these ideas! I’m especially loving the minimergency kit. I saw one at Francesca’s before my wedding and was smitten. My Mom gave me a different one and I love them. I believe that they are truly a necessity in any woman’s purse.

    I’d love to find lots of sticks(not cubes) of my original Softlips love, Cherry- but it looks like they don’t even offer Cherry anymore so I’ve had to turn to different lip balms to carry with me daily. And if tracking down a small handful of cherry Softlips is too difficult I would like to find a nice attractive boy wrapped up in my stocking- I need a good one 😉 In all seriousness I’m pretty sure neither of those items will be found in my stocking but it’s nice to dream I suppose. Since I don’t even know what sort of gifts I want this year I’d settle for a few hints at a surprise trip to some where warm near a beach- I don’t even have any where specific in mind. Just warm, a beach & not in Ohio!

    I would love to find a gift certificate for a massage in my stocking. I’ve only gotten one once or twice in my life but after chasing and wrangling a now 2 year old I REALLY need one haha! Any little form of pampering is so appreciated nowadays so soft lips would be amazing too! The salted Carmel sounds heavenly. I would so love to try it!
