Stocking Stuffers: Holiday Gift Guide 2021

I’ve received quite a few messages that you guys need some stocking stuffer gift ideas. I GOT YOU! I reached out to my Instagram audience and even asked for their suggestions. I put together stockings for my mom (except this year I did 25 days of advent gifts instead, but basically stocking gifts) my nieces and nephews, my husband, and my in-laws. I feel like I’ve got the process down! So let me share what I typically include in stockings.

My mom (and MIL) put together a stocking that I look forward to every single year. Even Rob looks forward to them. It’s nothing fancy, but every year they’re consistently one of my favorite gifts I receive. They include things like deodorant, lotions, lottery tickets. post it notes, ornaments, candy from the local candy store, hair masks, etc. If they ever say they aren’t doing stockings, I will throw the biggest fit you’ve ever seen. HA!
