My favorite time of year is Christmas, not because of the gifts or good food, but because everyone always seems to be happier. The lights and Christmas spirit is what I look forward to all year. If you know me at all, you’ll know I hate receiving gifts – but giving, I’m obsessed with! A super cute gift is to fill a stocking that is personalized to who you’re giving it to, whatever size you want and with whatever you can afford. All of the things I’ve mentioned are either inexpensive or can definitely be found for lower prices. Hopefully these ideas help get you started! J
GIRLS
1. Makeup/Skincare
The best and by far the easiest gift, especially with the help of Sephora and their kits and sets made specifically for the holiday season.
2. Candles
Because they are necessary to set the winter ambiance.
3. Cute Mug
I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as owning too many mugs.
4. Phone Case
Because I promise you every girl has more than one… we like variety!
5. Book
Because why not cuddle up beside the fire with a warm drink (in your new mug) and read something that isn’t required for school.
6. Laptop Accessories
Our technology has to be cute if we’re spending all day with it.
You can purchase it here!
7. De-stress Colouring Book
This is the newest trend and let me tell you, I understand why they’re so popular… you get so into colouring with detail your mind just erases.
8. Fuzzy Socks/Slipper Boots
Because doesn’t everyone have cold feet in the winter?
9. Bath Bombs
Cold winter nights can only be cured with a bath, tea and a book.
10. Pompom Hat
Because these are so cute and obviously incredibly practical during our cold Canadian winters.
GUYS
1. Underwear and Socks
Duh!
2. Water Bottle/Travel Mug
Because for whatever reason I feel like guys never have these, yet they are super useful.
3. Cord Organizers
Because there is nothing more aggravating than having to untangle cords.
You can buy these here!
4. Hand Lotion/Lip Balm
Because let’s be real, we all need it during the cold winter months.
5. Hockey Tape
Because we live in Canada, and at least one of the males in your life is bound to play hockey.
6. iTunes Gift Card
Usually I’d say to add a cute DVD, but let’s be real, everything is digital in today’s society.
7. Tile Mate Key Finder
Need I say more?
You can buy this handy gadget here!
8. Chocolate
Because the way to a guy’s heart is through his stomach, whether brother, boyfriend, or dad.
9. iPhone Beer Bottle Opener Case
Because he’s a guy.
You can buy this here!
10. Zippo Hand Warmer
You can buy this here!
Because this is how far technology has come for ski days. ;)
There you have it, all the gifts I’d put in stockings! Just try and remember that the holidays are all about giving, not getting, so don’t end up being greedy and Grinch-like. ;)
