Aesthetic Stocking Stuffers

Unique, Fun and Useful Finds To Fill Your Stockings with Cheer

The holidays are officially here. While the big gifts tend to get more attention, I wanted to bring us all back to the true meaning of the season: stocking stuffers.

While the media is divided on what truly constitutes a stocking stuffer (is it items that fit into a stocking, or items priced low enough and fit into a stocking?) I have been focused simply on curating a list of products that fit a stocking vibe.

What does that mean, you ask? Keep reading to discover the fun, aesthetically pleasing, unique, useful, and delightfully travel sized gifts to stuff your stockings with.

The quintessential stocking stuffer: a new pair of socks. For the one who loves the gym, choose these Set Active Socks.

The Bombas Frilly Rib Quarter Socks, or the Coach Red and Pink Socks are ideal for the fashion lover. And the Kate Space Taxi Socks are adorable for the aspiring New-Yorker.

A fresh toothbrush is always in my stocking. This year, I am requesting this Travel Electronic Toothbrush which comes in a variety of playful colorways.

My holy grail leave in product is this Ceremonia Leave In Conditioner for the softest, frizz-free hair.

Everyone needs a Silk Pillowcase in their life for better hair, skin and sleep.

Merit Retrospect is described as a rich, nuanced scent that evolves throughout the day. Plus, the bottle is oh-so-chic.

Phlur is a fan-favorite fragrance brand making waves this holiday season. If I had to choose just one to gift, it would be the Cashmere Skin Body Mist.

In every stocking there should be at least one trending lip product. This year I’m gifting my current favorite: the Glow Recipe Glass Balm.

If you can verify which Nespresso they have (it’s probably the Vertuo Pop+) the Nespresso Martini Set is a gift worth giving. This set comes with pods and two glasses designed especially for making the best martinis.

But if they’re more a matcha-lover, fill their stocking with this Matcha Whisk paired with Dona First Flush Ceremonial Grade Matcha.

This adorable Lemon Squeezer Bird is ideal for anyone who loves to spend time in the kitchen. Pair it with Graza Drizzle and they’ll be cooking you dinner in no time.

Or, if they’re more into baking- I love these Fancy Oven Mitts to let everyone know they mean business in the kitchen.

While we’re in the kitchen, I am in love with the Lenox Spice Village Butter Dish. Use it for butter, jewelry, and beyond.

Same idea with this Oyster Half Dozen Platter. I love the idea of displaying jewelry in each of the sections.

For the romantic, this Stick With Me coffee table photo book is one gift they’ll cherish forever.

If they’re always traveling, a chic Pill Compact is something luxurious they would never splurge on themself.

Hot tip: everyone loves the friend with the speaker. Give the gift of music with the new Bose Portable Speaker.

Who said we’re too old for stickers? To decorate your planner, laptop, suitcase and beyond, give the gift of whimsy with this Sticker Book or Hako Stickers Set. Or, kick it up a notch with the Sensory Sticker Set for a real “WTF did you get me” gift.

Speaking of whimsy, what’s better than a stress ball/ conversation piece. Choose from the Flower, Pencil, or Je T’aime Heart. It’s like you went to the scholastic book fair, but with Adult money.

And if that’s not enough fun, add in this Bagel Notepad. A calorie-free way to enjoy a bagel 24/7.

While we’re on the topic of food that’s not really food, these Asparagus Candles are too good to go to waste. Now all they need to do is host a veggie themed dinner party with these as the focal point.

For the one with a sweet tooth, go for this Milk Bar x Bath and Body Works Candle which smells like you walked directly into a fresh baked cookie with rainbow sprinkles.

Pair any candle with a beautiful matchbox like The Archivist Gallery Lady Matchbox for a gift worthy of coffee-table-display.

As I continue on my natural nail journey, I have been loving this Londontown Polish for a deep wine color. It’s one of those reds that looks good on everyone.

Everyone I know is receiving The Eraser this year. It buffs away hair in a magic-like way without leaving my skin irritated. Pack it in lieu of a razor for short trips, or keep it in your bag for touch ups. They explain the science behind it on their website, but I still can’t quite grasp how it works that well. The only answer is magic.

And for more dramatic shaving needs, the Flamingo Mini Travel Razor is an adorable and travel friendly stocking stuffer.

NYC cool girls are wearing these Faux Fur Mittens on a cord everywhere I look. The ultimate functional accessory.

It’s cold and flu season, so come prepared with a variety of Touchland Hand Sanitizers in every stocking.

Give the gift of fresh linens with the Mochi Milk Room Spray from Dedcool.

Chic dental floss is about to be everywhere. Elevate their sink flat lays (and their teeth, of course) with the Nobs Expanding Dental Floss.

And while we’re on the theme of elevating, the Morgan Stacked Cuff is the easiest way to turn any quick-fix ponytail into a trendy fashion statement.

Pair this with the Briogeo Styling Stick for perfect slick back styles on even the roughest of hair days.

And to finish off that perfect party ponytail, I love to go in with the Toppik Fill Me In Hairline Filler.

Bauble Bar has some fun jewelry on sale right now, making it the perfect stocking stuffer. Pair this Birthstone Pisa Bracelet with a Custom Tennis Bracelet for a colorful stack.

For the New Yorker (at heart or IRL) these Morning Rush bagel and coffee earrings are too cute to pass up.

And the best deal on this whole list has to be the Large Custom Blanket which is on sale right now for over 50% off.

If they’re dreaming of the beach, the Halle Cuff Bracelet brings the seashells to them.

A cocktail ring is always a good stocking stuffer. Right now, I’m crushing on this Extra Heart Ring.

But if they’re a stickler for time (or always running late- either or!) I love this Watch Ring for a playful accessory.

Metrocard is leaving us on January 1st, but there’s still time to honor her with this Metrocard Card Holder.

For the maximalist, I love this Mini London Kensington Bag.

Also for the maximalist and extrovert, the Bangle Flask is a guaranteed conversation starter.

Yes, bag charms are still a thing. For the lover girl this Coach Heart is both a functional coin purse and romantic accessory.

And for the girl who is always hard at work, this Screwdriver is perfectly quirky.

And of course, this very loud Poppy Hat is giving Elsbeth in the best way.

Another Elsbeth-coded winter accessory: these Bedazzled Green Fingerless Gloves. I’ve been wearing mine daily.

Or, if they’re more of a classic style, these cherry red Tech Gloves are warm, functional and a perfect pop of red to brighten the darkest of winter months.

Quirky accessories are what stockings are all about. I especially love this Flip Phone Hair Brush for the one who romanticizes the y2k era.

For the one who definitely does not smoke the Edie Parker Gemstone Lighter Holder is cool girl approved.

Fashion lovers understand the power of fresh denim. Fake it with this Good Aura Denim Spray which releases wrinkles and refreshes denim without washing.

For the one who makes everything a competition, I love this Leather Playing Cards Set. Bonus points if you pair it with this Dice Ring. Vegas anyone?

No stocking would be complete without a fresh pair of underwear. Take the guess-work out of it with the Hanky Panky pack of 3 thongs. Super comfortable and stretchy, they’re one size and fit a size 00 to 16. Plus, you can never go wrong with a pack of lace thongs- the universal panty of sorts.
