Stocking stuffers are my favorite gifts to shop for. They are small, so you don’t necessarily have to worry about wrapping them and they can be fun or functional. Here are some ideas for the ones you love or maybe just someone you drew in your family secret Santa.
Grooming Glove – Hopefully you have a pet lover in your life. These grooming gloves are crazy effective. Our dog loves them and the amount of hair they manage to remove, woo, I mean, it’s like a whole extra dog. They work for cats too and I guess horses, but I can’t speak to that.
Red Wine Stain Remover – This stuff works! It is one of those products that you may or may not buy for yourself, but super glad once you have it and need it. Use it on clothes, furniture, anywhere red wine manages to find itself.
Poo-Pourri – Everybody poops. This is a nice little stocking stuffer for the hostess with the mostest or you know, anyone who poops.
Cactus Dryer Balls – I truly have no idea what kind of sorcery this is, but these adorable little cacti help laundry dry faster and with less wrinkles. A great stocking stuffer for the college student in your life, until they realize they are for laundry, but then they will try them and be grateful again. Porcupines are also available.
L’Oreal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar – Ok, you may think I’m nuts, but if they haven’t found this, they will thank you! This inexpensive hair rinse treatment leaves hair super silky. I’m looking at all you moms with Olaplex on your daughter’s Christmas list.
Muji Gel Ink Pens – Yes, these are pens, snore. But you probably know someone who still uses a paper planner or is obsessed with lists. Even the virtual student in your life can appreciate these silky-smooth pens from Japan. They also come in a bunch of colors.
Things They Don’t Teach in School Game – This is a fun trivia game for people who know their trivia. I personally only excel at Trivia Pursuit 90’s version, but you probably know someone who can pull a random fact out of thin air.
Bicycle Repair Kit – Did someone get a new bike in the last 6 months? I mean, someone had to have because they were sold out at Target every time I went. This handy little tin is great in case of an emergency to make basic repairs to get that bike rider back home. ***FYI, it is on backorder, but if should ship early December.
Wacky Wavy Mini Tube Guy – I get that this is probably the 2020 equivalent of a Santa tie for your office worker. If you have someone chained to a desk these days, bring them a little joy or at least a smile with this little guy. They can daydream about being at the car wash or a restaurant opening.
