Can you believe how fast this year has flown by? I’m actually in disbelief because that also means Titi and I’s birthdays are right around the counter (we’re only a few days apart!). But any who if you’re looking for ideas for stocking stuffers this year, then you came to the right place!
Fun fact: I actually buy gifts throughout the year as I see them and buy the remaining items in October and November. I love giving gifts during the holidays, so I’m always prepared super early. Do you shop last minute for gifts or early like me? Let me know in the comments below!
1. Kopari Deodorant: I’ve been using the Kopari deodorant for a few months now and it’s so good! It keeps me smelling fresh and clean all day. It’s a perfect gift idea if you know of someone looking to try a natural deodorant that is free of aluminum. Another great option if you’re looking to shop more black owned brands is Play Pits. Titi and I love their Queen and King deodorants equally.
2. W&P Traveler’s Cocktails: Have someone in your circle that loves traveling and cocktails? Add this super cute Traveler’s Cocktail Kit to their stocking this year! It comes in 8 different cocktail options: Bloody Mary, Champagne, Gin & Tonic, Hot Toddy, Margarita, Moscow Mule, Old Fashioned, and The Italian Spritz. These kits come with everything he or she needs to make a cocktail in flight or on an adventure.
3. Phone Case: Everyone needs a protective, cute phone case. The ones from Casetify fit the bill perfectly and come in tons of different colors/designs for men and women.
4. Brilliant or BS? Trivia Party Game: Who else loves playing board game and trivia games with the family during the holidays? I know I sure do! Add this one to your favorite person’s stocking for a new fun game to add to the arsenal.
5. Chapstick Cake Batter: Anytime that I look about stocking stuffers, I always think about the items that people need but probably won’t buy themselves. Everyone needs a good lip balm, and this one from Chapstick is the truth! I’m obsessed with the cake batter flavor, but they come in a ton of other flavors as well.
6. Fenty Beauty Lil Fly Stunna Mini Eye + Lip Kit: Okay, that was a total mouthful of a title, but if you have a girl friend in your life that loves a bold lip, then get her this! It’s literally the most perfect red color and it stays on the lips all day, through literally everything. With the gift set, she can also try out the eyeliner that Rihanna created as well.
7. Car Phone Mount: Keep your loved ones safe and gift them the ability of worry-free driving! Titi has been using this for a few months now and it’s been so clutch! It fits most phones and actually stays stuck to the car. So you don’t have to worry about it sliding around the car all crazy.
8. Nail Polish: Since quarantine, I’ve been trying out some new black owned nail polish brands and I’ve been loving the colors from Triple O Polish. It’s a natural nail lacquer that is owned by an incredible black woman. Even better all of the nail polishes are named after things important in African culture.
9. Cologne Sampler: Picking a scent for someone can be pretty difficult, which is why I love gifting a cologne or perfume sampler. It gives the person plenty of options to test out and you look like an amazing gift giver without much effort on your part. I’ve linked one that is perfect for the men in your life!
10. Hair Growth Oil: My mom actually opened up an Etsy store called Noir Veda earlier this year, and she makes her own hair growth oil that really does help to promote hair growth. If you’re interested in something else as a stocking stuffer, she also makes soap bars, shea butter butters, beard oils, and more! All natural and homemade with lots of love!
11. Do Not Disturb Gaming Socks: Have a friend in your life that is a big gamer? Grab them this super cool pair of socks that says exactly how they feel when the game is on. Socks are always a necessary gift item!
12. Olly Multivitamins: I love the Olly multivitamins for everyday use. They come as a gummy form so its actually enjoyable to take them every day. Grab this for the adults in your life!
13. Bevel Skin Essentials Bundle: A lot of the men in our lives don’t really focus on skincare, but our skin is important especially as we age. Help jumpstart their skincare with the Bevel Skin Essentials bundle. It comes with everything that they need to get started at an affordable price.
14. Travel Size Body Wash: Practical gifts are the best ones. Add in a travel size of your loved ones favorite body wash. Here are a few options for the men and women in your life: Jack Black Shower Gel, The Body Shop Shower Gel, or the Methods Body Wash.
15. Metal Straws: If you want to know the secret to keep your teeth white, it’s drinking through a straw. Plus they help keep the oceans clean so it’s a win-win.
16. Laneige Lip Mask: I’ve talked about this product before, but it’s literally the best for those that want to avoid chapped lips, especially during the winter months. I have the berry flavored, but they released 6 other flavors to choose from.
17. Cord Organizer: Between headphone cords to charger cables, it can be so easy to get a cord all tangled. Instead of having a hot mess of cords on your hands, give the gift of an organized life with a cord organizer. I’ve linked this really cool one I found on Etsy that would make a perfect stocking stuffer.
18. Boxer Briefs: Men are notorious for wearing the same underwear until they are raggedy looking. Sneak a new pair of boxers in his stocking this year as a sweet gift. The ones from Nubian Skin come in a bunch of skin tone colors.
19. Coffee Pleasure Pack: Have a coffee fanatic in your household? Give the gift of a fun coffee flavor pack. This one from Dope Coffee comes with 4 different flavors to try and makes the perfect stocking stuffer.
20. Guide to Modern Calligraphy & Hand Lettering: Hand lettering has definitely grown in popularity in the last few years, and it makes for a fun past time. For the creative in your life, squeeze this cool book into their stocking.
