5 Chic Stocking Stuffers for 2020

Looking to spoil your femme friend or family member this festive season? Stocking stuffers are the way to go. 

Instead of enduring the hassle - and waste - of wrapping bulky presents, you can simply throw a bunch of gifts into a stocking and wait for your recipient to grab the goodies. The only challenge is figuring out what exactly to include. Space is limited, so it pays to get creative. Fortunately, there are plenty of options here. 

You may want to toss in something cozy like a beanie or scarf. This leaves ample room for a classic card game or some seasonal sweets. Maybe you can top it off with a snazzy pair of wireless earbuds. If you’re on the hunt for an extra-chic stocking stuffer, the following gifts are sure to make her smile. 

Fun, useful and always appreciated, hair accessories are a budget-friendly way to ensure that your stocking is truly stuffed. They’re particularly great for long-haired children. Whether you opt for a set of sequin bows or more practical velvet scrunchies, you can complement them with a bun maker kit to help her create perfect updos every time. 

While lipstick might be more synonymous with feminine gifts, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to color and texture. A safer bet is to chuck in some lip balm, which can prove especially handy during this time of the year. Plus, lip balms such as those offered by Supergoop! are equipped with SPF protection for the odd sunny day out. 

Another popular company is EOS, whose organic lip balms are available in several fun flavors. Be sure to check out the range of glittery lip glosses at Lavender Stardust as well. 

No stocking would be complete without a satisfyingly warm pair of winter socks. Funatic offers a wide range of holiday-themed feet warmers that come in packs of two for added value. They also have a collection of novelty socks adorned in everything from dabbing unicorns to phrases that are probably best kept hidden under her shoes. 

We might not be spending much time outside of the house this festive season, but our cellular slabs of glass can still do with some protection. The right case can also bring a bit of feminine flair to her phone. 

Apple’s clean and chic silicon covers come in shades including dusky blue and seafoam green, while CASETIFY sells more detailed designs that you can customize to match your recipient’s taste. Native Union, on the other hand, offers stylish and sturdy leather cases that are finished in understated grayscale tones. 

Stuff a party-starter in her stocking with a chic champagne kit. Pinch Provisions has theirs filled with confetti, coasters, sugar, swizzle sticks and a champagne recipe booklet among other accessories. Your loved one can pop it open on the day or save it for New Years. 

If there’s still some room left in your stocking, there are countless ways to top it off. Chocolates, earrings, makeup, mittens, gift cards and skincare products are just a few of your options.
