STOCKING STUFFER GIFT IDEAS
JOURNALS
Pretty journals will fit right in a stocking.
PERPETUAL CALENDAR
A 365 Day Perpetual Calendar for her desk or bathroom counter will be an encouragement that lasts the entire year.
TERVIS CUPS AND ACCESSORIES
I am a crazed fan of Tervis products. I drink my coffee every morning out of one of their cups (with its lid so I don't spill in the car or on my desk). They have college, fraternity, and sorority logos and personal monograms available.
TEEN AND COLLEGE STUDENT GIFT IDEAS
The Planning for College Planner
The Planning for College planner is the perfect gift for a high school girl. This beautiful planner will give her one place to record and organize everything necessary to get from high school to college.
FAB FIT FUN
What better care package than full-size products in a quarterly subscription box? Use code FIRSTBOX for $10 off your first box.
PHILOSOPHY GIFT SET
Send her back to college with a Philosophy shower gel and lotion gift set. Buying that stuff for herself is expensive!
HOME TOWN PILLOW
Do they go to college out of state? A pillow of their state with a heart over their hometown will cozy up their bed.
S'WELL WATER BOTTLE
S'well water bottles are the best water bottles. These insulated, stainless steel bottles keep beverages cold for HOURS!
PHOTO STRING LIGHTS
A teen's room or dorm room will look amazing with their most special photos lit up on this set of Photo String Lights.
ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER
An Essential Oil Diffuser will help her relax and brighten up her room. This diffuser includes 7 soothing LED colored lights.
SMART PHONE PROJECTOR
Project movies, tv shows, and favorite internet clips on the wall with this no-batteries required Smart Phone Projector.
GIFT IDEAS FOR WOMEN
SLIPPERS
Cozy slippers for the winter are a must. I get a new pair every year because I absolutely wear them out!
BIBLE COLORING BOOK
Study the word and color too with THIS BIBLE coloring book! Grab some colored pencils to go with it.
STITCH FIX
What's more fun than a personal stylist to select clothes and send them to you? Give her a gift card towards her first styling.
STOWAWAY COSMETICS
Stowaway Cosmetics are high end makeup and skincare products that are half the size (and price) of normal products. I like the eye liner and concealer. The concealer is thick enough to cover under eye circles, but not so thick that it is hard to work with.
GIFT IDEAS FOR MEN
STITCH FIX FOR MEN
Stitch Fix is now available for men. I signed my husband up last Christmas and he has loved receiving clothes selected for him by a stylist. Now one of my sons is on board also.
NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES
We love these headphones at our house. They can't be beat for listening to something on your computer or phone, but they are especially wonderful on a flight.
HOSTESS AND CLIENT GIFT IDEAS
ETCHED WINE
Personalized wine bottles from your family or business will be a hit.
HOLIDAY JAM
Holiday Jam in a festive box will look great with your card or logo sticker attached.
BREAKFAST BOX
A Holiday Farmhouse Breakfast Box of pancake mix, maple syrup, and jam (and a tea towel too) will delight everyone on your list.
FRUIT AND TREATS BOX
Fruit and snacks are always appreciated and Pittman and Davis always has FREE SHIPPING.
MINI LOAF PAN AND SERVER
This tartan Mini Loaf Pan and Server are adorable!!
SLATE SERVING BOARD
This gorgeous Slate Serving Board will go with any decor – formal to modern farmhouse.
TRIO OF REED DIFFUSERS
This trio of petite Reed Diffusers will give her a diffuser for several rooms.
DECK THE HALLS AND THEN CLEAN THEM UP
TIERED SERVER
I bought this Tiered Server last year to serve Christmas cookies. I have used it all year long.
TEA LIGHT TROUGH
This Tea Light Trough is amazing – a beautiful addition to any room.
FAMILY FUN
BOARD GAMES
Our family loves to play board games during the holidays. We stay up late playing and we are ruthless. One of our favorites is Catan.

MORE FROM ALMOST EMPTY NEST:
Love the ideas! I have 2 adult daughters who love ANYTHING KENDRA SCOTT – me too! My son-in-law would like that Yeti Hopper or the Art of Shaving stuff!
Thanks for sharing at Family Joy Blog linkup. I’d take the Magnolia Story for myself!
Some great Chanukah ideas here. My youngest loves anything Vineyard Vines, someone even drew the logo on his cast when he broke his leg. I definitely want to check out Tervis Cups with my boys’ schools and/or frat logos. But first I need to see what discounted gift cards are available. Thanks for all the info.
I pinned your post on my Christmas board. You’ve made some terrific gift suggestions!
I recommend the S’well bottles you listed above. I have one and it’s perfect for the car because your water won’t get hot. I also like the luggage tags. Fun list! Thanks.
Ok I have no idea about the magnolia book!!! So excited!!!!! A lot of great suggestions!
What a great list, I honestly haven’t even thought about Christmas yet but I definitely got inspired by what you shared.
great ideas. don’t forget to think of artists and handcrafted too 🙂
I plan to add a “Reader’s suggestions” section later this week and will include this idea. Do you have a specific artist you would like for me to recommend? The luggage tags in stocking stuffers are handmade, but I will add more ideas. Would love for you to check back and see my additions.
This is a fantastic list! I would be happy to receive lots of these items! Thanks for compiling.
What a great and comprehensive list. Pinned and will definitely be referring back to for gift ing this holiday season 🙂
What a great list! I think you covered everyone. I am very interested in those champagne bears!
