Stocking Stuffers

About

Style Overview Every December there's a list taped inside a cabinet door and a shoebox on the closet shelf where the good finds wait until Christmas Eve. Our stocking stuffers are what fill that box, and we love hunting for them all season long! Think painted trinket dishes, worry dolls, Surprise Balls, cozy socks, warm gloves and jewelry made to tuck into a toe. Cross a few names off here, then keep going through our whole gift guide when the bigger boxes need filling, too. Stuffer Pairings We Love A stocking is really a tiny story told in the order things tumble out, so we build ours in little pairs. Two related finds tucked together read as one thought instead of a handful of odds and ends. That's the difference between a stocking she digs through politely and one she talks about at breakfast! The morning-routine pair: a painted trinket dish with a pair of earrings resting in it, so the gift and its landing spot show up together. The warm-hands pair: knit gloves rolled around a sock set, which fits the shape of a stocking better than almost anything. The wind-down pair: a small candle beside a hair towel wrap, for the friend whose shower is her only quiet hour. The pure-fun pair: a Surprise Ball and a worry doll, because unwrapping something slowly is half the delight. For anyone who wears her accessories daily, add a headband from our Boho Bandeau® collection and let it sit right at the top where she'll spot it first. We like to anchor each stocking with one find she'll really use in February, then surround it with smaller surprises that simply made us laugh. Build two or three pairs like that and you're done, no filler needed. Whose Stocking Are You Filling? Almost everybody on your list has a stocking, which is why this page stretches so far! For mom or grandma, go sentimental and useful at once: a trinket dish for the nightstand, a delicate necklace or a worry doll that says you thought about her worries, too. For a sister or best friend, the funny find usual
