This post in my collection of holiday gift guides focuses on cute stocking stuffer ideas for women and was originally published in 2018. If you came across this via the original image on Pinterest, know everything was updated this year (2020) with available products and gift suggestions!
As a kid, stocking stuffers were the best. After the thrill of unwrapping presents, it was always like the cherry on top of Christmas morning to empty out my stocking. Now, stocking stuffers are the last thing I buy every year and I have so much fun doing it. I love to fill stockings for loved ones with a mix of everyday essentials (like soap, deodorant, favorite snacks) and cute, unique finds like the last minute ideas for stocking fillers I’ve listed below. All of them are under $30 (I don’t love to use the word “cheap” but you will find that they’re affordable!). Plus, most of them are available on Amazon so that you know they’ll arrive before the big day!

My favorite cute stocking stuffer ideas:
When applicable, I added links to similar stocking stuffer ideas for items that are sold out or no longer available.
1.) Thoughtful Jewelry
Realizing that many people don’t get stockings on Christmas as grown-ups, filling up a small stocking is one of my favorite things to do for friends this time of year! It always makes them so happy. I typically select one special gift and then keep the rest of the items in the stocking under a few dollars. The Friendship Necklace [sp] from Alexys Ryan is just the sweetest gift to give to your besties. It’s a unique, grown-up version of the friendship necklaces we had as little girls. All of the Alexys Ryan pieces have a specific, beautiful meaning behind them (designed to complement the woman who balances everything), which I love because I think it’s picking out something thoughtful that truly makes giving a gift extra special!
2.) Natural Jewelry Cleaner
Speaking of jewelry, meet the Bling Brush [sp] – a natural jewelry cleaner that can be used on both fine gemstones and fashion jewelry to bring back its sparkle. One look at the Limited Edition ‘Pop, Fizz, Bling’ Brush [sp] will have her celebrating from the moment she opens it because the prosecco packaging is just the cutest! Then, when she realizes it is going to keep her precious gems shining bright, she’s sure to be even more ecstatic!
3.) Rose Clay Sponge
Give the gift of detoxed pores and smooth skin with the Rose Clay Heart Cleansing Sponge from One Love Organics. Definitely a top contender as one of the best stocking stuffers!
4.) Soothing Body Wash
No matter what kind of day I’m having, this argan oil and lavender body wash from Love Beauty and Planet literally makes me feel like everything in life is going to be okay because the smell is so relaxing! She will love it.
5.) Cute Mug
Cute mugs like this one from Sweet Water Decor are such a fun stocking stuffer because they’re perfect for filling with sweet treats like little chocolates or hot cocoa packets!
6.) Multi-Masking Medley
[ SOLD OUT – Similar Pixi gift set here ] I’ve never met a Pixi Beauty product I didn’t fall in love with, but I do have a special appreciation for their face masks. They really help to bring my skin back to life when I’ve fallen off track with my skincare routine. This Multi-Masking Medley gift set in decorative packaging is sure to become a favorite of hers, too!7.) Cozy Socks
[ SOLD OUT – Similar here ] Everyone always needs more socks because the dryer is so sneaky and tries to make all of them single. These colorful chenille socks are extra soft and cozy!8.) Twisted Headband
The soft, ballet pink color and elegant look of this twisted headband reminds me so much of my ballet days. It’s a must for every gal, especially if she was a dancer back in the day. This year, it comes in black, pink, and sky blue!
9.) Dry shampoo
I go through a bottle of my favorite dry shampoo like every 2 weeks, so I’m definitely not upset when my everyday essentials like this end up in my stocking!
10.) Mini Makeup Brush Set
[ SOLD OUT – Similar here ] Whether she’s always traveling or just loves to touch her makeup up on the go, this adorable pink mini brush set is sure to be a hit!11.) Portable Humidifier
I really love portable things because I live an on-the-go life (probably like many of the women in your life, too). So, when I found out this portable humidifier existed, I put it right in my Amazon cart for a stocking stuffer for myself! It’s cute, functional, and I bet she doesn’t already have it!
12.) Lipstick
Lipgloss and lipstick will never not make the best stocking stuffer ever! I’ve been living in Almay’s “Skip the Gym” Lip Vibes [c/o] Lipstick and it’s the prettiest neutral pink. With 24 shades, don’t be afraid to grab a few you think she’ll love!
13.) Velvet Scrunchies
Ask anyone who grew up in the 90’s, we’re really happy scrunchies are back and we can’t get enough of them. This velvet scrunchie set lends an option for accessorizing each and every winter outfit.
14.) Exfoliating Sugar Cubes
These exfoliating sugar cubes from Harper + Ari smell good enough to eat (but don’t do that!), and instead are used for pampering, exfoliating, and nourishing skin. This is a sweet gift that encourages self-care.
15.) Chocolate Truffles
I had to include these Lindor Truffles because they’re my favorite candy to get in my stocking!
