This handful of products include powerful botanical extracts to help transform your skin. Included in the set are Cleansing Milk, Face Oil (our favorite!), Night Serum, Face Moisturizer, and Exfoliating Scrub. Plus, they smell divine.

Okay, so we know candy is the traditional stocking stuffer and it’s not really fair to fill a stocking with zero sweets. But elevate them and go for cookies instead of candy. We love Feed Your Soul Bakery’s Ginger Molasses 12 Piece Gift Box ($20)! These tasty cookies are perfect for this time of year and are perfectly chewy and delicious. Twelve cookies might not even be enough!
