Need some Christmas stocking stuffer ideas for the man or woman in your life? I’ve got you covered! Here are a few things I personally have and love as well as some of Mike’s favorites to get you started!

I have strong opinions on what goes into the Christmas stockings I create for family members. I want them to be well thought out, personalized, and cover a few things.

A couple of years ago I shared my exact formula here with ideas on what to put into your Christmas stockings to make them perfect. I usually include some tried and true favorites as well as some new finds to keep it exciting.

If I was creating my own stocking this year, here are some of the things I would include.

Christmas Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Her

1. Last year during Black Friday, I decided to try this body wash I’ve been eyeing up. The smell is both fresh and citrusy but also earthy and woodsy. I now have the refills on subscription so I never run out.
2. Salt and Stone’s Bergamot & Hinoki Refillable Body Wash is probably my favorite scent in their line.
3. Ok, maybe a bit too big to fit in a stocking but if you’re into interior design and specifically British interiors, then this book is a must! I’ve shared my favorite design books in the past and this Sims Hilditch: Beautifully British Interiors is a new fav!
4. Another design book to add to your list is The Essentials: The Art of Interior Design: A Guide to Furnishing, Decorating, and Styling Your Home. It includes some of my favorite designers I love to follow as well as their tips and tricks on different topics.
5. Ok this next one I finally broke down and tried. I’ve been seeing it all over Instagram and curiosity got the best of me. TRUST ME. It did not disappoint. I fell hard for this Father Figure scent by Phlur and you’ll find me putting it on even when I’m not leaving the house.
6. This next one has been my little secret indulgence for about 10 years now. Just a few spritz of thisworks Deep Sleep Pillow Spray on my pillow at night helps me relax and drift off to sleep.
7. Every morning when I wake up with pillow creases on my face I think about this next item. I don’t know why I haven’t picked up a set of these Kitsch Satin Pillowcase for Hair & Skin but it’s on my wish list for this year.
8. Another Instagram find through the lovely and very knowledgeable Mrs. Derm, is this Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Balm. My hands get SO dry and painful in the winter because of my Thyroid and this is a god send. I also have the Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream and keep some all over the house so it’s always within reach.
9. During one of Sephora’s sales this year, I decided to give this lip softening balm by Eadem in Butter Mochi a try. It is thick and luxurious without feeling heavy if that makes sense. I put it on every night before I go to bed and when I wake up the next morning it’s still on. Another thing I love is the applicator. It feels cool going on and is very soothing on my dry lips. Another one of those things I have in multiples all over the house.
10. One of my all time favorite candles is Capri Blue’s signature scent Volcano. I recently grabbed one in a mercury jar for the holidays.
11. Years ago, I bought a 6 pack of these Kitsch Ultra-Petite Satin Scrunchies from Target. I always have one on my wrist and use them everyday. I haven’t been able to find them at Target anymore but I did find them on Amazon. Stocking up before they disappear again!
12. I’m always on the hunt for good cozy socks and thought I would add these Spencer Socks by Varley to my Christmas list. I love Varley and own quite a few of their pieces but I haven’t tried the socks. They have great reviews and so many good colors.
13. I love to make lists and I love a beautiful notebook to keep those lists in. This composition notebook in a stunning Floral Blue China pattern is not only functional but gorgeous as well.
14. This vintage botanical illustration composition notebook also caught my eye.
15. Ok one more. This composition notebook with a beautiful vintage beige cream floral pattern reminds me of the William Morris prints that have been so popular these last few years.
16. If you’re grabbing a candle make sure to grab a cute box of matches. These Curator Home Long Matches with Sardines are very chic. You can find all different designs and really tailor the item to the person you are gifting them too!
17. Ok, I hope my mom doesn’t see this but this next item is too good not to share. I came across this Tennis Collection Bezel Set Crystal Necklace and fell in love. My mom will never turn down a piece jewelry at Christmas so I grabbed the gold one fore her. And since they were on sale, I snagged the silver version for myself. They just arrived a few days ago and they are even more pretty in person and are perfect on its own or layered with other pieces.
18. Another recent Sephora find is this EMI Jay Hair smoothing style stick. I have a lot of cowlicks and stray hairs along the sides that just won’t lay down when my hair is pulled back. This product takes care of all of it. It gives me a smooth finish when I have my hair pulled back. Keeping everything in place without being greasy or oily.

Christmas Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Him

1. Mike has been looking for a new gray hat to replace the one Roland chewed up a few years ago. He wanted something a bit slouchy but not too big. And it had to be soft. I purchased 3 on Amazon for him to try and gave them as an early Christmas gift. This slouchy knit beanie in dark gray was the winner!
2. Just like I have my favorite hand cream and lip glosses all over the house, so does Mike with his Burts Bees chapstick. He has one by the front door to put on before he leaves. He has one on the side table where he likes to sit on the couch. One in the bathroom and he steals the one on my nightstand every night. We go through these fairly quickly so I always grab a pack to add to his stocking every year. This year I grabbed the bundle that included their ultra moisturizing formula to see if he likes it.
3. Mike’s favorite nail clippers disappeared and he hasn’t be able to find one he likes to replace it. That is until I found and gifted him this 5 piece grooming set from MANSCAPED® for Christmas last year. It may seem a bit silly but I do have to agree with him and say this set is much better than the typical silver pair we all know and have at home.
4. In 2019 we discovered a company called Prospector Co. and Mike gave their beard oil a try. He’s since been hooked and has been buying it ever since. One year when I was purchasing his beard oil for Christmas, I decided to grab the K.C. Atwood Aftershave as well. This also became a favorite product and he uses it when he does decide to shave his beard.
5. And here is the link to their beard oil. He loves how soft it makes his beard when it’s a bit longer and the smell isn’t over powering. The cute flask like bottle and aesthetically pleasing packaging gets a thumbs up from me.
6. Another item Mike stashes around the house are tubes of O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream. He’s tried a few different ones and keeps coming back to this brand.
7. A couple of years ago, Mike purchased a set of these Noshinku Refillable Hand Sanitizers for my stocking. I fell in love with the slim packaging and now we both carry them around. We each have a couple in our car and I have a few in my purse as well. My favorite scents are Eucalyptus, Lavender, and Lemon. They are pretty easy to refill and you can find each scent here.
8. I’m looking for a couple of other items to round out Mike’s stocking and came across this 3 Slot Travel Faux Leather Watch Case. He doesn’t normally travel with more than 2 watches but I like that this one has a slot for sunglasses. It’s sitting in my cart along with this 2 Watch Travel Case which I like and this Watch Case with Combination Lock. Now all I need to do is decide which one.
9. Last year Mike was looking for a new wallet and came across this Aluminum Cardholder Pro Wallet. He loves this one because It’s ultra thin and not bulky like some wallets can be. It also has a button you can press at the bottom to “eject” your cards which Is fun for him too. I think I saw another one on his desk this past week in Desert Red. Perfect for the holidays.
10. Another great find that has become a favorite and repeat purchase is this Layrite Natural Matte Cream. Not sticky or goopy it provides great hold while also still being flexible and natural looking.
11. Mike hasn’t been playing a ton of golf lately but when he needs more golf balls these Titleist Pro V1 Personalized Golf Balls are the ones I grab for him. I even got them personalized a few years ago which I know he loved and appreciated.
12. Simple and utilitarian, these Amazon Basics Classic Hardcover Line Ruled Notebook, in Black would be a great gift to pop into their stocking. Mike uses them to take notes for work or to flush out any new DIY projects I bring to him.
13. My husband is something of a bar soap connoisseur and these Honey I Washed the Kids bar soaps from Lush are one of his fav. We don’t buy them often so when I put them in his stocking at Christmas time it feels like an extra special treat!
14. Mike ordered this Tobacco & Patchouli Apothecary Candle one year on a whim and now it’s one of his favs. While over for Christmas, my brother also fell in love and I gifted one to him too!
