In addition to shopping for gifts, there is the beautiful tradition of stuffing Christmas Stockings.  We at DelectablyChic! has a fabulous time selecting some really fun and lovely stuffers for you this year so that you can still do a bang-up job with your gift-giving, irrespective of how busy your schedule gets.

These are 10 of our favourites (in no particular order).

• The Body Shop seasonal lip balms.  A limited edition Spiced Vanilla, Candied Ginger and Cranberry Joy lip balms have been released as part of The Body Shop’s holiday collection.  They are packaged in robust tins and are the original 15 ml size their lip balms used to be.  Not only are these scents/flavours really warm and cozy – perfect for winter – the packaging is just impressive enough to be a stocking stuffer and at $6.00 (currently on sale $4.20) a very affordable one at that.  For $10, you can get the Festive Lip Balm Trio a pack of all three packaged in a Christmas cracker which fits perfectly into a stocking.

• Philosophy Marshmallows For Toasting™ Body Lotion.  The look, the feel, the texture of this packaging and product is just tailor made for a stocking stuffer.  Luxurious, this lotion has “shea butter, olive, and macadamia nut oils to help soften skin and aid in moisture retention while antioxidants help protect skin against environmental attack.” Nuf said.

• Schwarzkopf Moisture Kick Shampoo The reason why this gift was a winner is that there is nothing like frizzy hair or a bad hair day during the holidays.  If you know someone who suffers from that, this is the dream Stocking Stuffer to give her.  An alternative for someone with limp hair is LaCoupe Orgnx instant Hair Reviver.  For someone with curly hair, we recommend Schwarzkopf’s OSIS+ Pump My Curls.  For the friend who likes to shape his or her hair, without a doubt OSIS+ Aqua Slide Texture is a runaway winner as it is a high shine pomade with an unexpected water-touch consistency.

• The MUPPETS Finger Muppets mini nail laquers by OPI. This foursome consists of a collection of very different shades, all inspired by the new Disney film:  Wocka Wocka (magenta), Designer…De Better (sparkly silver), Warm & Fozzie (shimmery gold) and#Excuse Moi! (sparkly pink). A great fun gift for girls of all ages.  We particularly linked the Miss Piggy inspired Excuse Moi!

•  Tweezerman’s Harajuku Lovers collection is too cute.  It includes some charmed Slant Tweezers which we loved, but what truly floored us were the Tweezerman Harajuku Lovers Matchbox itty bitty files. They are tiny in size, easily portable, actually work and make for ideal stocking stuffer for anyone who likes miniature items or wants a collection of designer files in their life.  They will also make for great conversation starters when used.

•  LUSH Cosmetics Magic Wand Bubble Bar  For the little Princess in your home (even if that’s you), there is no greater delight than to get a LUSH Cosmetics Magic Want Bubble Bar.  A pink cotton candy scented star atop a wand with a bright pink ribbon and a bell.  As it’s a bubble bar, it can be used over and over again as it can be “swirled around in the tub to make mass amounts of bubbles, then put aside to dry for the next bath.”

• LUSH Cosmetics Rocketeer Bath Bomb  For the young and young at heart.  This product was originally created to try to entice little boys to take baths, but it’s now hugely popular with boys of all ages.  Named after The Rocketeer film, it’s a very masculine boy toy, with a blue rocket shape and colour.  It’s also a fun product as popping candy inside it makes this Rocketeer Bath Bomb fizz and crackle.  It’s designed to “shoot around your tub, leaving a wake of froth, fizz and the sweet scent of candy sticks. “  The water changes from blue to yellow to green and was originally invented to entice little ones to take a bath.  Your man may look at you curiously when he gets the gift, but after one bath with The Rocketeer, he will inevitably have a grin on his face.

• iSkin duet for iPhone4.  This is got to be the sexiest stocking stuffer this year.  iSkin has come up with an iPhone4 protector and belt holster that epitomizes style and functionality.  Slim and lightweight, it’s a show-off piece that your man will be proud to sport, especially at the office or on boys’ nights out.

• Ever since Britney made Rachel’s leg warmers the rage by transforming them into arm warmers, a new trend was born.  Recycled Knit Arm Warmers are a great stocking stuffer that epitomizes trends.

• Haba’s Clutching/Teether (… for a baby) which is a colourful rings that rotates and is made out of beech wood, maple.  We thought this adorable little gift would be the perfect little stocking stuffer if you have a new addition in your home.
