The Ultimate 2019 Gift Guide: Stocking Edition
The holidays are coming up ready or not. And along with this season, comes all the fun holiday traditions. Presents, tree decorating, stocking stuffers and more are all part of the season. This gift guide will give you ideas for stocking stuffers for the special people in your life. Stockings are a great gift idea and a fun time to put together as well. They’re a great opportunity to express your creative side while picking out small gifts that the other person is sure to love.
1. Lip Products
You can’t go wrong with lip balms or lip glosses. They’re essential for any girl. They are also small enough to fit perfectly in a stocking. My favorite option is the LANEIGE lip sleeping mask, which is available at Sephora. It is a moisturizing balm that leaves your lips feeling soft to the touch when you wake up. It is available in original, vanilla and apple lime flavors. This is a very popular product with great reviews, so any girl is sure to love it.

2. Makeup Palettes
This is a great gift guide option for girls who are super into makeup and beauty. I recommend opting for a smaller palette with a few essential products. The Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette gives six everyday eye shadow colors that you can create multiple looks with. You can also opt for highlighter palettes or blush and bronzer palettes depending on what the person you’re giving the stocking to likes most. Morphe is a great place to shop for affordable and high-quality palettes.

3. Face Masks
Face masks are a great gift guide option for girls who love to treat themselves and take care of their skin. Single-use sheet masks are inexpensive and make for a great stocking stuffer. The Sephora brand offers a variety of sheet masks, which are all $6. They come in a variety of scents, which are catered to helping fix various skin concerns.

4. Gift Cards
This gift guide would not be complete without gift cards. Who doesn’t love to receive gift cards to their favorite store or restaurant? The best part about gift cards is you can choose how much you want to spend. I recommend buying cards for places like Starbucks, Forever 21, H&M or other affordable places. You don’t have to break the bank at these places, so a gift card of any amount will be good. If you’re willing to spend a little more, you can purchase gift cards for the person’s favorite restaurant and treat them to a nice meal. Gift cards are a great way to ensure that the person will be able to get something they really like because they are the ones who picked it out.

5. Hair Accessories
You can’t go wrong with buying a girl things for her hair. Things such as hair ties and hair clips are always put to good use but are things that most girls don’t like spending money on for themselves. You can also buy fun items, such as scrunchies. These are cute and inexpensive gifts that are also useful.

6. Earrings
Jewelry is another great small gift idea. It also doesn’t need to be expensive. You can find trendy earring options at stores like Forever 21, H&M and Claire’s. They all have great options for both studs and dangly earrings. Hoops are very trendy now. Buying a set of hoops that come in a variety of different sizes is a great idea. A set of everyday studs also provides a great set of options that any girl will be sure to get a ton of use out of.

7. Mini Candles
Mini candles are a great option. Stores like Bath and Body Works and Target sell smaller one wick candles, which are the perfect size for stockings. They’re available in fun and festive holiday scents. Some scents at Bath and Body Works include Fresh Balsam, Frosted Cranberry, Hot Cocoa and Cream, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin and more. They’re great for a few uses and make cute decorations for your room, apartment or house. Buying a variety of scents can be fun, so whoever you give them to can try them out and find their favorite of the scents. They can then go back to the store and buy a full size of their favorite holiday candle.

8. Lotions or Body Sprays
You also can’t go wrong with body creams, perfumes or body sprays. You can find mini-size versions of most of these products that are great for taking on the go. These smaller sizes are often available for under $10, which is a great deal as well. I recommend checking out stores like Victoria’s Secret, Pink and Bath and Body Works to find the best scents at great prices. Buying a travel size lotion and body mist in the same scent is a great present. Both stores mentioned also typically come out with already made gift packages. For example, Bath and Body Works offers mini gift sets, which are all under $25. You can choose from different scents and products for these sets. Some include body wash and lotion. Others include lotion and body sprays. Some include a smaller size of lotion, body spray, and a hand sanitizer. These sets are all great value.
