The stockings are hung by the chimney with care!
Opening my stocking on Christmas morning was my favorite part of the day. Santa always wrapped each tiny gift individually, and I loved pulling them out one at a time and unwrapping.
Did you know: The legend of St. Nicholas dates back to a 4th century bishop known for his generosity. One popular tale tells of a poor widower with three daughters who had no money for their dowries. St. Nicholas secretly tossed bags of gold coins down their chimney, which landed in stockings that were hung by the fire to dry. Over time this custom spread through Europe, sometimes using shoes in place of stockings.
I got these personalized quilted stockings a few years ago for the boys and love their neutral yet cozy look.
I posted my gift guide earlier this season, but here are some last minute smaller gift ideas perfect for stocking stuffers, white elephants, and any time you need a little something to give.
Stocking Stuffers Gift Guide
Kids Gifts
Lego Brick Mug
A Lego-inspired mug for kids perfect for kids or kids at heart. Bonus: you can actually build legos on the outside!
Super Squish Nice Cube + Globbles
My kids are really into slime and squishy things! These are great sensory toys that they go nuts over.
Silicone Sensory Board
A friend recommended this to me as a good restaurant activity board. You can take the silicone “worms” in and out of the strips and create loops and designs. A clever, clean, creative take on a fidget toy that is calming and satisfying for both kids and adults.
Beautiful Hair Clips
These are so cute for girls (and boys) who love hair clips.
Tattoo Pen
For older teens with an artistic flair, this tattoo pen by Inkbox is a fun and safe way draw on temporary tattoos that look like the real thing. I’ve even fooled a few of my friends with it!

This Wicked-themed bright green mask is so fun and would make a great daughter / sister /mom gift. A peeling mask that smoothes and moisturizes the skin, leaving your face feeling revitalized and rejuvenated.
Gua Sha
My friend Jenn uses a gua sha in the sauna and got a lot of us hooked on using it in there! If you haven’t heard of them, it’s a traditional Chinese stone tool that you use to massage and sculpt your face. It reduces puffiness and can smooth lines. Pair it with Jasmine face oil!
