There is enormous variety of fun and cool options for stocking stuffers this year. I personally fell in love with Christian Audigier’s Ed Hardy candles with their tattoo art tin packaging and divine scent. For a more traditional candle option, check out Crabtree & Evelyn’s Noel candles; so pretty with a heady fragrance. What’s great about these products is that you can buy the 3-piece gift sets and then put a single candle in a stocking; perfect fit, perfect price!
If you would prefer to give lip balms, Philosophy’s “Under the Mistletoe” is a nice set of four including my favourite, the shimmery “Pink Frosted Cookie” and the bold and sexy “Peppermint Bark.”
Or, if you friends prefer lip balms in pods, LUSH Cosmetics’ Bon Bon Lip Scrub ($8.95) is a lemon sherbet lip scrub that exfoliates dry dead skin on your lips, leaving them perfect for special moments under the mistletoe.
Vasanti’s shimmer powders are also the perfect size for stuffing stockings and best of all they are Canadian. I fell in love with the aptly named shade Snowflake, which is micro-iridescent silver sparkles that make your lids look like they have been frosted.
For pure decadence and to ensure you are the most popular gift-giver around, indulge in Crabtree & Evelyn’s 6-piece hand therapy holiday set. These 25 g (0.9 oz) individual hand creams are delightful stocking stuffers and will instantly make your friends feel pampered.
For something fresh and different, check out MIGI Nail Art packages. Each package has 4 two colour brushes/art pens so that you can easily make designs on your own or friends’ nails. Incredibly easy to use, you can draw designs or dot them for fun flowers or effects. Colours range from Hot pink to more classical pastels. Since four patented pen tips come in each packet, you get four gifts. Simply love.
Better yet, combine one of those nail art package pen sets with some of Nicole by OPI’s holiday colours such as the sophisticated shimmery brownish-red “Kiss Me at Midnight” or the red sparkle fest “Spark My Mistletoe.” If have a friend who likes alternative looks, the Dr. Suess shade “Yellow, It’s Me – Matte” will be an unforgettable gift.
A very cute stocking stuffer for kids is the Flipper Toothbrush Holder. Retailing at just $5.99, these cute animal and dino world conversation starters keep the toothbrush hygienically clean in the bathroom away.
