There's just something about buying stocking fillers and mini presents that gets me far too excited. The great thing about stockings is that they still give you a way to personalise your gifts whilst sticking to a smaller budget. Jeez in my household we even make stockings for our pets because it's that much fun! Here's my Stocking Fillers Gift Guide:
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
I think we can all agree we're all suckers for travel sized products right? Well I may have just found the cutest travel size mascara EVER! Too Faced kill it every year with their Christmas releases and gift sets and this year is no different. You can now get your hands on this totally adorable travel sized 'Better Than Sex' mascara. Unless you've been living under a rock you've probably heard of this mascara already as it's their best selling mascara ever! This would make such a cute stocking stuffer, or even hang it up on your tree to make the cutest decoration.
The Body Shop Limited Edition Products
Another brand that I'm always really impressed with year after year is The Body Shop. You can always expect a fantastic range of gift sets and limited edition releases from them. I normally go crazy for their festive scents and spend a hefty amount in the boxing day sales trying to purchase every product! This years releases are just as amazing as the previous, with some delicious new scents - Juicy Pear being by all time fave! The new limited edition scents are available in their usual gift sets, as well as their individual products such as body lotions, shower gels, hand creams etc. So you could definitley pick up a few products to make up a festive stocking!
Dr. Lipp Lip Tints Trio Set
Dr. Lipp is actually a new discovery for me this year, which as you can tell from the name specialise in lip products. Their hero product is actually the Original Nipple Balm for Lips which started as a products designed for breastfeeding mothers! Since then they have now formulated a range of Lip Tints in various colours. And that's exactly what you'll find in the Dr. Lipp Lip Tints Trio Set! With three gorgeous colours to choose from these are not only perfect handbag size, but stocking size too. Made with only four ingredients, these lip tints are guaranteed to keep your lips soft and smooth whilst adding a bit of colour!
Emma Hardie Morninga Balm 10th Anniversary
After attending the M&S Beauty Advent Calendar Launch last month, I came across this little gem. The Emma Hardie Morninga Balm is something I've wanted to try for years after hearing so many fantastic reviews within the beauty community. Priced at £10, this little sample size is the perfect way to do so! For the 10th Anniversary of the Morninga Balm, Emma Hardie have released this cute stocking filler in time for Christmas. Inside you'll find a 15m tub of the Morninga Balm as well as a Dual Action Cleansing Cloth to go alongside it. This is perfect for anyone who may want to try the cleansing balm without investing in the full size. Just like the Too Faced mascara, this can also be hung on your tree as a decoration if that's something you prefer!
Burt's Bees Beeswax Bounty Gift Set
Made up of 100% natural ingredients Burt's Bees Lip Balms have always been a fan favourite. But who knew they did so many different flavours?! Well in the Burt's Bees Bounty Gift Set you get the chance to try out some of the other flavours on offer. In this gift set you'll find your trusty original lip balm as well as three others in the flavours 'Vanilla Bean', 'Cucumber & Mint' and 'Coconut & Pear'. If you've ever tried the original beeswax lip balm you'll know how much of a treat these are to use. Your lips will feel super hydrated and it prevents any annoying dry patches or cracking.
Magnitone WipeOut Bamboo MicroFibre Cleansing Cloths
One product I totally fell in love with last year was the original Magnitone Pink Micfrofibre Cleansing Cloths. They are reusable cleansing cloths which help to remove dirt, oils and makeup from your skin by just adding water! It sounds very gimicky but oh my god I was shocked at how well they worked when I first tried them. Well this year Magnitone have out done themselves by releasing our much loved cleansing cloths in a brand new 100% Natural Bamboo Fibre version. The great thing about the original cloths were how eco friendly they were. Being machine washable and reusable eliminates the need for wipes. And now they're available in the Bamboo Fibre form they're even more eco friendly! I've never been a huge fan of wipes, but for me this is definitley a step in the right direction.
label.m Diamond Dust Leave in Conditioner
And the final thing on my stocking fillers guide is the label.m Diamond Dust Leave in Conditioner. I've not actually tried anything from label.m prior to this, but I have heard fantastic things about this conditioner! Formulated with a luxurious blend of Pearl Dust, Champagne, White Rose Oil and Black Diamonds, your hair can feel it's absolute best! This treatment penetrates the hair shafts to leave your hair more manageable, replenished, softer and silky. If you're someone who is in to haircare, and really wants to find that product that will leave your hair glowing, this is the one for you! Not to mention, the packaging is gorgeous and makes stockings easy peasy with the matching box it comes in.
Year after year I see people posting 'stocking filler gifts' that are well over the budget of what I would class as a stocking filler. Seriously, I've see gifts that are upwards of £100! To me that just defeats the point of having a stocking, which is why I decided to keep everything on this list under the umbrella of £20. Merry Christmas everyone!
Which product would you most like to find in your stocking this year?
