1. Beautycounter Charcoal Cleansing Bar, $25
Highly-rated and one of my favorite products in my routine right now. It’s a good beauty product that doesn’t feel too feminine – perfect for any guy’s stocking! It’s most famous for clearing up blackheads. AND it’s a clean beauty product – yay!
2. Portable Lightning to USB Cable, $25
I love this gift because you never don’t need another charger cable, ya know? And this one is great because it looks really nice and little leather closure is a really nice feature for travel.
3. Nerdwax, $11
Does he wear glasses? If so then this is the greatest stocking stuffer he will ever receive! Nerdwax is a chapstick-sized tube that helps keep your glasses fro slipping down your nose: a common glasses-wearer problem if any of you 20-20 people didn’t know 🤓
4. Shower Beer Holder, $15.95
If he’s frequently drinking a cold one, he will love this! And BTW this seems to be a very popular gift this holiday season because it’s sold out / backordered in a lot of places, but don’t worry my link is still available, I got you guys 👊
5. Socks Holiday Cracker, $14
How cute is that packaging? And also… who doesn’t need another pair of socks? I love Happy Socks because they are really good quality, last a long time, and have the cutest designs!
6. Tie, $20
Ties are kind of a lame gift (in my opinion), but for some reason I think as a stocking stuffer, it works. Kinda like socks I guess! Get them a cool design that they probably wouldn’t pick out themselves but will quickly become their favorite tie. My favorites are from the Penguin brand (good price points too, especially if you can snag them on sale from Nordstrom Rack or TJ Maxx). If you’re looking for a less contemporary style, I also love The Tie Bar.
7. Tabasco Tin Spicy Dark Chocolate, $7.95
Chocolate is always a good go-to for stuffing them stockings (or just candy/sweets in general for those few psychopaths that do not enjoy chocolate). I think this is a unique, fun option to give a lover of all-things-spicy (which I feel like tends to be more of a guy thing, but I definitely know plenty of women who love that kick, too).
8. YETI Tumbler, $30
I don’t own any Yeti products personally, but continue to hear raving reviews. My favorite thing about it is that it’s machine-washable – HUGE plus right there. It keeps your liquids warm or cold for as long as possible, and is supposed to be highly successful at doing so!
9. Leather Keychain, $25
Most guys, in my experience, either don’t have a keychain or it’s not that great looking. This leather design is classy and durable. Nothing too fancy, just the right amount of style to upgrade his keys.
10. Harry’s Starter Razor Set, $8
This affordable and highly-rated (and, might I add, well-branded) men’s shaving tool and skincare brand has a lot of great, lower-price-point sets that come in fabulous gift boxes (and even include engraving/personalization on certain products). Check all those out here.
And a great gift to go along with this set is – as long he ends up liking the razors – to get him a subscription of them, since they offer a great subscription service. This makes it so easy for him to always have a new blade on hand, and one less thing for him to remember to pick-up.
11. The Little Book of Sloth Philosophy, $10
How cute is this little pink book with a sloth on the cover?! Can someone please put this in MY stocking? A) for the cute design, but also B) because it definitely sounds like something I need to read (ie: I definitely need to learn to take a chill pill from time to time… to time 😬)
Here you can enjoy take-it-slow wisdom inspired by sloths including advice on sleep (more restorative than a 6am run), eating and exercise (sloths are the original pioneers of slow food and yoga after all), work (did you know that lazy people have higher IQs?), family life and love.
12. Monogram Keychain, $18
Love this adorable keychain! Get their first initial and they’re sure to love it.
13. Mini Jade Facial Roller, $20
They’re all the rage, and honestly I’m on the hype side for these. I’ve had one for maybe a year or so and even besides the de-puffing effects and such, I just love this as a relaxing “me” time ritual. I have pretty sensitive skin, so this is also great for calming it down quickly when my skin freaks out randomly.
14. Wine Glass Holder for Bath/Shower, $16
If she’s frequently drinking a good ol’ a glass o’ wine, she will love this! Great for the bath or the shower.
Gift Upgrade Tip: Add a candle, a bath bomb or bath salts, and a new book, for the most relaxing little gift set ever 🙌
15. Kiehl’s Body Scrub Soap, $12
Such a cute little soap! This gently exfoliating body scrub is perfect to keep in the shower for all your exfoliating needs. It’s always good to have that on hand, especially for shaving.
16. Tin Candle, 1 for $12 or 2 for $20
These adorable tin candles are perfect as a stocking stuffer. And they’re great if you need little gifts for more than a few stockings! I linked the holiday edition ones, which include the Spiked Cider, Christmas Tree, and Pumpkin Spice flavors, and all have really cute holiday designs on them. But they also have 9 other scents in their artist print collection, shop those right here (also 2 for $20).
17. Set of 8 Hair Ties, $12
Does anyone ever not need more hair ties? Where do they go?! This set of eight tight-hold hair ties have a durable, stretchy design and shimmering metallic accents.
18. BAGGU Reusable Shopping Bag, $10
I actually got one of these in a White Elephant gift exchange last year (plus a Shake Shack gift card 🙌) and it has changed my life ever since (shoutout to my coworker Mary for bringing such an excellent White Elephant gift). There are so many reusable bags out there (and I have a lot of them) but this is by far my favorite. I mostly love the shape that it folds into, which is a small flat square. And it comes with a little bag to slip it into so it never unfolds inside your bag. I bring this everywhere with me, it fits in every bag I own, even my little mini bags. PLUS, it comes in so many great colors and patterns, you’re sure to find one that suits your giftee. A great stocking stuffer for any city dwellers but also really just anybody! Let’s kick this plastic bag issue in the butt one Baggu bag at a time 👍
19. Origins Glow On Set, $10
This is such an affordable little beauty gift that seriously ANY woman would love! Origins is one of my favorite beauty brands (and is clean, too!) and is great for all skintypes, including sensitive. This trio includes a jelly cleanser, matte moisturizer, and retexturizing mask.
20. Velvet Glasses Case, $20
This is such a chic glasses case – I love that it’s velvet! It also makes it easier to find in your purse since it’s pink. And it also comes in a pretty green color.
