Stocking Stuffer
Are you ready for the holidays? Do you have a gift ready for everyone on your list? How about those stockings? Do you have enough things to fill them? Don’t worry! I’ve come up with a stocking stuffer gift guide that will have everyone on your list covered.

My Favorites
The stocking stuffer has always been my favorite. My mom Santa would always fill our stockings with the best little things. She would wrap everything, and usually they’d be spilling out the side into a pile on our designated chair. We always opened our stockings first thing Christmas morning.
Now that I’m a Mom and Santa’s helper, it’s my turn to make Christmas special for all my boys. Of course, they will get a big gift, but the little ones can be more personal and special. Or just fun!
So, I’ve come up with a few items for everyone on your gift list. We own all of these items. Some I have purchased, while others have been sent to me or given to me for review. We do use and love them all…which means I still have to get things for my boys’ stockings.
That’s OK. I like to shop.
If you wish to purchase any of these gifts for your loved ones, I have included my affiliate links within and at the end of the post. Just click on the highlighted text or picture to be taken directly to the product. At no cost to you, I will make a small commission.
Let’s get started.
The Gift of Smell
Essential Oils and Aroma-therapies are all the rage right now…and for good reason. They smell wonderful and have some great health benefits. They can be added to homemade cleaners, lotions, or just diffused in your home.
Which brings me to my first gift…This adorable Aroma Diffuser from Arespark. It’s small enough to fit in a stocking, but gives off enough scent to fill the whole room. It also diffuses oils with ultrasonic vibrations instead of heat, so your oils don’t lose any of their valuable properties. It has 7 different colors, so not only does it make your whole room smell good, but it makes it pretty festive too. Here’s a look at ours and some of the colors.
When you give this stocking stuff, you can personalize it by choosing oils/fragrances that your person really likes. Right now, my favorite is peppermint, but I would love to get some sweet orange and lemon.
Hint, hint husband.
Another aromatherapy gift, is this awesome Heart Aromatherapy Essential Oil & Diffuser Necklace. My husband got this for me for my birthday, and I love it. It comes with little discs that you put a drop of oil on, then put inside the locket. I put a drop of Lavender, slip it around my neck when I’m in bed reading, and it relaxes me for bed. Plus, you can use other fragrances and wear it during the day because it’s so beautiful.
The Gift of Creativity
Both my husband and oldest son are very artistic and creative. I love to find them things that they can work with and/or make. I was sent these amazing Paint Sticks called Kwik Stix made by The Pencil Grip. They are made from solid Tempera paint, they are non-toxic, and they dry super fast. My son LOVES using them. He even made both of his Grandparents Thanksgiving pictures with them. I’m betting they’ll get some Christmas ones too.
Along with the fabulous paint markers, they also sent us some of their Pencil Grips. I was so excited to give these to my son because he’s been having a hard time getting his grip correct when writing. These helped him so much!
The Gift of Protection
I don’t know about you, but I am always dropping my phone or losing it. I was in desperate need of a way to both protect it, and help me keep track of it. My phone is a HTC One M-8, so I often have problems finding a case for it. Luckily Reiko sent me the Reiko 3-In-1 Wallet Case for HTC One M8 Mini with Navy Interior .
It’s perfect. Not only does it protect my phone, but now I don’t have to keep track of my wallet too. Everything is all together. It came in a vibrant green/blue color, and it fits perfectly into my purse (and a stocking!)
The Gift of Entertainment
I don’t know about your family, but ours loves to watch movies. Now, mostly we have to watch animated movies, so when there’s one that we can all enjoy, it’s pretty exciting. During Black Friday, I got the kids Inside Out.
They LOVE it. I love it. My husband even watched it. I caught him smiling and tearing up at one point. Ok. Maybe not tearing up, but he liked it.
I also got him a Christmas Classic, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. He’ll have to watch that one after the kids go to bed.
Movies make a great stocking stuffer for everyone. Add in some candy and popcorn, and you’ve got a movie night all set up.
The Gift that keeps on Giving
If none of these gifts are jumping out at you, and you want to do something a little more meaningful, how about a donation to a wonderful organization like The TTTS Foundation or The March of Dimes? Both are tax-deductible, and you will be saving the lives of babies. What better gift is there than that?
To Donate to the March of Dimes on Behalf of our Team, please click HERE then print out this certificate and stick it in the stocking.
To Donate to the TTTS Foundation, please click HERE then print out this certificate as a stocking stuffer.

Shann says
This diffuser is seriously awesome.
kimfit15 says
I need one of those diffuser…I have some essential oils and would love to use them more
Dia@ All The Things I Do says
This is a great list of mixed items. I actually have a humidifier on my wish list. I had one of the Vick’s ones because I get sinus infections and when I discovered essential oils started using it for that as well but it died on me after many years of service.
Stocking stuffers are often some of the best gifts because they are sweet little surprises.
I like the mix. I’m also looking for a phone cover for the new iphone I got my mom for Christmas.
Shann says
I totally agree….stockings are my favorite. 🙂
nmiller00 says
I’ve always wanted to get into essential oils. . .which ones are you favorite besides lavender?
Shann says
I really like the peppermint a lot. I’m just starting out too, but I want to get lemon and sweet orange.
Heather with WELLFITandFED says
Those are all great and original ideas. I am essential oil junkie and sell DOTERRA. I love those oils. I also like the squishy pen thing you showed. That was really cool!
Shann says
Thanks! Yes, it’s really been helpful for my son.
Willow says
Great gift ideas! I love the diffuser necklace! I am going to have to drop a hint to the hubby about that one!
Shann says
Yes! It’s so nice.
Deanna says
What great ideas. I love essential oils, we diffuse ours everyday.
Clare Speer says
Great list- I’ll take some of the “gift of smell” – please! Now that I work from home, boy can I smell it when the carpet smells like dogs, or the house smells like dogs! Those aroma items look wonderful!
Shann says
Ha ha! Our living room used to smell of spoiled milk from toddlers dropping their sippy cups on the carpeted floor. We solved that by ripping out the carpeting, and now diffusing oils 😉
Emily says
Great ideas! I still get a stocking from my parents and it is definitely one of my favorite parts of Christmas! So fun.
Kam Kay says
What a great list of gift ideas for everyone. I guess diffuser is the most popular gift among your list. I’d like one too lol
ashortblonde says
Our stockings growing up were always pretty simple. My mom included an orange as that was something really special when she was young and a few little things. I like the idea of essential oils! I asked for a diffuser this year.
Shann says
I really love ours. The scent is so much better than from a candle.

These are great stocking stuffers! Especially the phone covers since I tend to drop my phone a lot lol

Angie Scheie says
Stocking Stuffers are so much fun. My husband’s family has never done stockings, and it’s so strange without them for Christmas. I like how you categorized thee ideas, and I wouldn’t have thought of essential oils. Great idea!
Shann says
That would be strange without them. I think you need to get them to start 😉
