Can someone please explain to me how in the world it is already less than a month until Christmas? We’ve purchased a few things and we really need to get cracking when it comes to purchasing gifts and I’m sure you all are in the same boat. I thought I’d help you out with a few Gift Guides for the people on your list that might be difficult to shop for. Today we’re starting out with Stocking Stuffers and I’ll be back with guides for men, women and kids!

Personalized key chain
Y’all know I’m a sucker for a monogram and how adorable is this key ring wallet from Barrington Gifts?! They’re super customizable so you can make it just right for the person receiving the gift. I love my Neverfull but carrying that with a diaper bag and an infant carrier and toddler is too much. I’ve been carrying my wallet in the diaper bag but have forgotten that it’s in the diaper bag when I grab my purse to go out and definitely made it to the store, realized I had forgotten it and had to turn around. At least this way I know I always have my keys, ID and credit card!

Window breaker/seatbelt cutter
I think everyone needs a glammer. It’s certainly not going to be on anyones Christmas list but they will be thankful they have it in event of an emergency. Plus, its way cooler than just a standard version.
-
Lip balm
Can anyone really ever have enough lip balm? The answer to that is no. My fave is this Sugar Advanced Therapy lip treatment but I also love some drugstore staples like this or this.
-
Fancy candy
I always got candy in my stocking as a kid. And frankly, I still do as an adult. You know, the Lifesaver Books? I used to look forward to those so much! While I’d still be just as happy to get one, I have tried to upgrade our candy a little bit as an adult. I always get these for Tyler since he loves them and are only available during the holidays but these are delicious too and are festive.

Luggage Tag
How many times have you watched your black piece of luggage go around like 4 times on the little conveyor belt at the airport before realizing it was yours? At least with an adorable luggage tag it will be easier to spot! Again, this one is able to be customized for the gift recipient. This would be great for the jet setter in your life or a college student about to go off to study abroad!
-
Trinket dish
Ever since I got engaged I’ve had one of these by our sink to hold my rings when I shower and what not. I love this one (would also be great for your powder room!) and this one is a total splurge but how adorable is this trinket dish/box?!
-
Novelty Socks
Socks are one of those things that everyone needs but doesn’t usually want to buy. I’m huge novelty sock fan and these (and fuzzy and warm!) and these are super cute. The Target dollar spot also usually has a bunch for the season. Also, while pricier and not novelty socks, I have a few pairs of these and they are really nice, high quality socks.
-
Hand Cream
Winter is the absolute worst on my hands. Between washing them 24/7 thanks to cold and flu season and washing bottles and pump parts constantly, my hands end up feeling dry all day long. This hand cream is the holy grail of hand creams. Plus it smells amazing and has calming effects which lets be honest, we all need this time of year!
-
Necklace
I got one of these necklaces last year and wear it all the time! Typically I wear the same jewelry all the time so it was nice to get an unexpected piece that was just my style. All of their pieces are dainty and have little sayings or meanings to each piece. This would be an amazing teacher gift too!
-
Wine Stoppers
This is something everyone or every house needs. These are our favorite and if you have a full fridge and have to turn the bottle on its side, they don’t leak which is a major win in my book!
-
Silicone Straws
Everyone is all about reducing their plastic straws but I’m personally not a fan of stainless straws. First of all, you can’t use them in anything hot and secondly, if you accidentally bang your tooth on it it does not feel good! Enter these bad boys. They are silicone, dishwasher safe and come with a handy dandy cleaning brush to make sure they’re extra clean. And if your straw is too long for the cup or mug you want to use it in, you can just cut them! I love that feature! I use one everyday with my coffee.
-
Pop Socket
If you don’t have a pop socket, I don’t even know how you hold your phone. Seriously, when I hold someone’s phone who doesn’t have one I feel like I’m trying to hold a tablet with one hand. And if you think I’m exaggerating, try one and tell me I’m wrong!
