Stocking Stuffers with Substance

Stockings are often a neglected tradition during the holidays, an afterthought, getting stuffed with chocolates (or in some cases, coal). Don’t make the same mistake this year. Put some thought into what you stuff into those stockings! Check out some of our top picks below:

Give your loved ones the gift of a day at the spa without the sky high prices and without leaving home! Geluxury slippers ($49.95) are hydrating slippers that not only keep your toes toasty, but also rejuvenate and repair your skin. Their patent-pending SmartGel lining uses aloe vera, green tea, willow and seven therapeutic botanicals that help to nourish dry, cracked skin. Wearing the slippers for 20-30 minutes a day (at least twice a week) will completely renew your feet. And they happen to be unbelievably comfortable and true to their name, completely luxurious.

reviver-clothing-swipes

Perfectly sized for stuffing into stockings, Reviver clothing swipes ($2.99) are the first on-the-go odor eliminating dry swipes for clothes and hair. The reusable swipes comes in resealable packs that can easily fit in a pocket or purse. You won’t need to worry about unpleasant odors while you’re out and about and they leave no residue behind on your clothing. Additionally, they come in different types for different uses — clean scent for every day use, smoke swipe for smokers, individual for cats and for dogs swipes, and even spark for him and spark for her ($3.99), which include pheromones so you can swipe on sexiness. It will keep your holidays anything but ho-ho-humdrum.

New York Novelty Gift Box

A stocking wouldn’t quite be complete with some candy. Or more specifically, chocolate. The Lindt New York City Gift Collection includes four different gift packages, all available at different price points. For those who live in the great city, or even those from out of state who could use a memento, the chocolate truffles in the novelty gift box ($12) will put a smile on everyone’s face. The box is filled to the brim with assorted milk, white and dark Lindor truffles, which are both a festive and tasty way to kick off the holiday.

repair-square

It happens to everyone. As much as we all love Apple products, their chargers leave much to be desired. They always break or tear and then we are stuck buying another one for a gajillion dollars. Never again! Repair Square ($3) allows you to fix your pesky charging cables in a jiff. Simply apply the Repair Square to your faulty cable and voila! Repair Square instantly bonds to itself without any sticky residue, so as soon as you wrap it around itself, it is permanently affixed. Additionally, Repair Square comes in an array of colors and packages of two so that you can save one for later. Now you can put all that money you no longer need to spend on a cable to good use – more presents!

nuvino

You know the old saying candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker? Now’s your chance to put it to the test – single serve wine in a pouch by Nuvino ($3.99) is just the right size to fit in a stocking. Imagine waking up Christmas morning to a light, portable, unbreakable and resealable ‘glass’ of wine as a gift! Nuvino has solved the problem of both single serving wine and portability in one fell swoop. Furthermore, they offer premium wines from all around the world, including Malbec from Argentina, Sauvignon Blanc from Chile, Chardonnay from South Africa and Red Blend from Australia. ‘Tis the season!

Santa knows that the key to any woman’s heart is through jewelry…but what if you had something equally as gorgeous for a fraction of the cost? Hot Jewels Metallic Temporary Tattoos ($10 for set of 4) are shiny, jewelry-inspired tats that won’t snag on your sweater, break, or rub off! Hot Jewels come in a very wide array of styles and look both real and fabulous! Mix and match your jewelry for a night on the town and prepare to receive compliments and envious glares from all your besties. Lucky for you, these ‘jewels’ are sweat-proof and water resistant, but can easily be taken off with baby oil. Get your bling on this holiday season.
