Beauty Product Stocking Stuffer Ideas

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Holy Cross chapter.

Seasons Greetings! As the Holiday Season is finally upon us, it can be tricky to come up with gift ideas. I have some great ideas for stocking stuffers or for secret Santa gifts for family, friends, and significant others. These are all my go-to beauty products that come in petite, travel sizes—perfect for stockings! 

1. Mini Garnier Fructis Micellar Water — $4 

This is the perfect thing to wipe away makeup or to use as a light cleanser without overdrying your skin. It is a great alternative to makeup wipes or face wash, especially if you have sensitive skin. I have been using this for years now, and I have noticed remarkable results in my skin. This can be found at just about any pharmacy. 

2. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask — $22 

This is the perfect solution to dry lips. Traditionally it is meant for before going out, but I bring it pretty much everywhere I go. Not only does it keep your lips insanely smooth, but it smells delicious. This can be found at Sephora. 

3. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream — $22 

This is arguably the best cream on the market to solve dry skin, dullness/unevenness, and loss of firming/elasticity. It smells absolutely incredible and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth! This can be found at Sephora. 

4. Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand — $38 

Looking for a shimmery, dewy look? This liquid highlighter will do the trick. It completely ties together your makeup routine whether you are aiming for a more casual or night-time look. I typically put it on my cheekbones, top of my nose, and upper lip. A little goes a long way, so this bottle honestly lasts a while. This can be found at Sephora. 

5. Mini Donna Karen Cashmere Mist Deodorant — $18 

I used to never really stray away from typical pharmacy brands because I was pretty skeptical of how much these “designer” deodorants worked. However, this deodorant was absolutely life changing. It stays on all day, works as an antiperspirant, and smells so good! This can be found at Sephora or Ulta Beauty. 

6. Mini Moroccan Oil Dry Shampoo — $12 

So I have been trying out various dry shampoos for years and have really struggled finding one that truly works and doesn’t turn my hair white. It smells very fresh and clean and completely cleanses, refreshes, and absorbs excess oil.This can be found at Sephora, Blue Mercury, or Nordstrom.

7. Nest New York Mini Ornament Candle — $16 

I honestly do not think Nest makes a bad-smelling candle. Even my typical least favorite scents somehow smell amazing in their candles. This festive and fragrant candle comes in a cute, decorative box with a string that can be hung as a tree ornament. This can be found at Sephora or JCPenney.
