Last-Minute Stocking Stuffers You’ll Want To Give (and Receive)
If you’re stumped on what to give to an acquaintance, colleague, or that classmate in yoga, we got you. Who says gifting can’t be foolproof? It doesn’t have to be grand—you only need something that’s memorable and thoughtful enough to show you care.
Enter our list of the greatest stocking stuffers ever. From fashion to wellness to food and beverage, you’re bound to find something for everyone (even your grumpy in-law) that’s beyond ‘safe.’ We curated the only last-minute gift ideas you’ll need. Check them out below.
1 — Gift Sets
Two words: gift sets. We love a good holiday bundle, whether it’s a skincare kit or a loungewear set. Most of them come in holiday-themed packaging, too, so you don’t have to wrap them separately. We love this one from Sunday Riley, which comes in two versions: the Morning Buzz Vitamin C Trio and Night ZZZ’s Retinoid Trio.
Fashion accessories are also a good choice, like this woven cashmere scarf from Arket. It’s an everyday piece that’s classy, practical, and timeless.
2 — Personalized Journals
The holiday season is a time to reflect on the year that was and plan new goals, which is why journals make fabulous gifts. This journal from Papier takes it up a notch with a metallic monogram detail and hardback cover. Even if you’re not the journaling type, this might inspire you to start something new (talk about perfect timing, too). It may not seem like much, but having your giftee’s initial on it will make the gift more personal and heartfelt.
3 — Cocktail Kits
Share the love and booze with a cocktail kit. No matter your giftee’s mixology skills, they’re still going to have a blast making their concoctions at home. This set from Here Here Market contains a curated selection of cocktail essentials, from infusion kits and mixing tools to fruit garnishes—the ultimate crowdpleaser gift for any cocktail connoisseur.
4 — Anything for the Home
Aromatherapy has played a huge part in our wellness this year, so why not gift it forward? We love this White Vetiver Mini Duo Set from Apotheke, perfect for the living room or home office. For something more high-tech, this cordless diffuser from Vitruvi is such a steal.
If we’re being completely honest, we won’t mind getting a scented candle or two in our stocking, too. Otherland’s Adorned Collection includes a unique selection of scents, such as juniper sprig, toasted cloves, black cardamom, and vintage lipstick—kitschy yet festive enough for the holiday season.
Lastly, towels and linens are great choices, too. Customize them with embroideries or patches, or create a special box filled with other home knickknacks to make gifting more meaningful.
At the End of the Day…
…it’s the thought that counts. As far as stocking stuffers go, there are no set-in-stone rules. No matter the reason or the theme, you can find little gifts that will leave people feeling special and loved this holiday season.
The Modlist team wishes you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas ahead!
