Sometimes, stocking stuffers can feel like an afterthought. The trick is to think of small luxuries that make life better, like rich hand cream or fancy hair accessories. With our curated edit, they can be just as thoughtful as anything wrapped under a tree
I’m a big fan of buying the smallest thing from the nicest brand. After all, half of the thrill is seeing the beautiful packaging! Imagine opening your stocking to the Hermes orange box, and finding this gorgeous lipstick worthy of perching on your vanity. Or your new favorite nail polish wrapped up in Chanel! I also love this colorful, artsy Clare V coin purse. You could even slide some gift cards or cash into it to upgrade your gift!
In fact, beauty kits are an easy way to make a stocking stuffer stretch. Travel sized lipglosses from cult-favorite brand Charlotte Tilbury or Westman Atelier’s Baby Cheeks kit are both great ways to try out the brand. And, most likely, get hooked. Another personal favorite of mine is Olaplex, a haircare line that truly changed the way my hair looked and felt after one use. Their In Good Strength kit has all of their bestselling products! Because if you can give the gift of good hair days, why wouldn’t you? Here’s another hair care trick: sleeping in a silk scrunchie prevents breakage, frizz, and let’s you roll out of bed ready to go.
It’s not the first time I’ve talked about it this holiday season, but I’ve gotten a little obsessed with socks. It just adds such a fun, personal touch to any outfit. Imagine curling up on the couch in these Polo Winter Bear socks! Or refreshing someone’s drawer with this lovely Bombas set.
