    44 Stocking Stuffers You Shouldn't Wait To Treat Yourself To

    Psst: if (I mean when) you end up loving these you can just re-order and gift them for the holidays, too. They're right around the corner.

    1. Socks you can customize with your pet's face. Once you get a pair for yourself you'll want to shower all your loved ones in these cuties. That's it, your holiday shopping is complete!

    2. A Dracula garlic mincer for anyone who appreciates irony, has strong feelings about their favorite vampire, or just really loves garlic bread. And if you're on board with all three like me, even better.

    3. A mini size of Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter. Use it alone for sheer, glowy coverage, on the high points of your face, under, or mixed with your foundation for a stunningly natural, just-dewy-enough coverage — the entire internet can't stop raving about it for a reason.

    4. An LED ring light that'll clip right to your laptop, smartphone, or any other device. And with three different brightness intensities, you can customize your selfie or foodstagram like a profesh photog — or just look a little better on your next work Zoom.

    5. A travel jewelry case made in gorgeous velvet that you can personalize with your initials or name for a ~flying first class~ feeling wherever you go. You'll feel fully accessorized without wasting space or weighing your bag down with heavy pieces.

    6. An Amazon Fire TV stick you can simply plug into any existing TV and stream all the shows, movies, and music you want. You can use the voice button to find shows, launch apps, search for type of movie ("Alexa find suspense thrillers"), OR EVEN ORDER A PIZZA from Domino's!

    The Stick, with an HDMI plug, plus the remote and text "simplify your streaming with convenient TV controls"

    7. A screaming goat figurine that might help you release just a teensy bit of all that stress. Just press the button on the stump he stands on to hear those bleats that can't be beat — feel free to join in, too.

    8. Glossier Lidstar, liquid shadows (or get a set of 'em) you can dot on and blend out with your fingers — truly the easiest and most mess-free way to get a sparkly, glittery look with no fallout. Whether you're off to a holiday party or just running errands, who doesn't want a little extra?

    9. A tiki-inspired Baby Yoda mug you can clasp as tightly as The Child clasps his own hot beverage while rewatching The Mandalorian.

    10. A set of snazzy-looking and surprisingly affordable wireless Bluetooth earbuds so you can jam out to your favorite tunes, nod thoughtfully at your go-to podcast, or simply call into all your Zoom meetings with great sound clarity (and no background noise). They also come with a couple of sizes of buds so you can ensure a secure — and comfortable — fit.

    11. A tin of (and I can't believe I'm about to type this, I'm so excited) peppermint bark-covered PRETZELS. If you, like me, love peppermint park and a sweet 'n' salty combo, these are the holiday snack DREAM. I don't want to wait for December!

    The tin with tree, bell and star-shaped pretzels, some in white chocolate and some in dark chocolate

    12. A canister of Cadbury Drinking Chocolate ideal for curling up with during the cozy marathon of your choosing, whether you're catching up on the most recent Peak TV series or revisiting an old fave (::cough 2005 P&P cough:: which basically runs on repeat in my house).

    The canister of drinking chocolate

    13. A handy-dandy portable charger that'll be like giving yourself the gift of an always charged smartphone for years to come.

    The 2021 version of the bank, which is 15% smaller, 28% lighter, and 36% thinner

    14. A dressy plaid cashmere-feel scarf so you can look put together while staying bundled up all fall and winter.

    15. A spiral-bound compilation of 50 New York Times crossword puzzles, because you're basically obligated to complete these under a blanket...on the couch...while reclining at a 45-degree angle.

    The cover of the Will Shortz-edited book

    16. A set of "Welcome to the Barbie Dreamhouse" coffee cups, because if buying these for myself isn't what being an adult is all about, I DON'T WANT IT. The double-walled design keeps your coffee hotter for longer too!

    The coffee cups with malibu dreamhouse design and pink handles

    17. A pair of cushiony inserts that'll transform any pair of shoes into Uggs (or bring new life to your old Uggs where the insole is wayyyyy too worn-down).

    The insoles

    18. A super-sized and super-soft satin scrunchie to keep your hair out of your face while dressing up your all-black-everything WFH outfits. Satin is great for protecting your hair too!

    19. A box of skin-lifting, pore-tightening Skin1004 face masks with results that reviewers swear by — not to mention the fact that it's weirdly fun? The mask tightens as it dries on your face, giving you the titular "zombie" effect. Just wait 15 minutes and rinse to reveal your glowiest glow yet, thanks to the albumin (aka egg white) and aloe formula.

    Reviewer before and after showing the mask made their skin look tighter and reduced the appearance of some wrinkles

    20. A Good Advice Cupcake sticker you can pop right on your laptop, planner, journal, or wherever else you feel like, so you can think "mood" whenever you look at it in the middle of yet another chaotic workday.

    21. A bar of quadruple-milled, shea butter-infused French ~savon~ to soften, rather than dry out, your skin — feel free to send your boring soap down the drain.

    Several colors of the stamped soap bars

    22. A ~breathable~ nail polish with color and treatment alllll rolled into one (it's infused with argan oil and vitamins B5 and C) so you can enjoy an at-home mani without worrying about chipping, flaking, or damage.

    23. A lightweight and breathable sleep mask that won't weigh heavily on your nap plans. You might even forget you have this bb on, because reviewers note it's as soft as a T-shirt.

    24. A brightly-hued 17-piece vegan makeup brush set with everything you need to recreate all the stunning and colorful looks you've seen on TikTok — in the height of style.

    The bright pastel brushes

    25. Mount Lai's gua sha, which'll be like an at-home facial treatment, but for way less $$$. Pro tip: Toss it in the fridge for a few minutes for a ~cooling boost~. It can help incorporate your favorite serums and moisturizers into your skin better with traditional Chinese facial massage techniques. Plus it's gorgeous and just *feels* amazing.

    26. A bubble tea AirPods case (and matching keychain) for a ~refreshing~ addition that'll help your headphones stand out in your bag so you can find them with ease — AND protect the case.

    27. A set of cat gel roller pens that are a) seriously cute, b) work incredibly well, and c) waaay better than boring ol' pens.

    28. A simple but not-boring minimalist ring with a curved design and single sparkly cubic zirconia that'll look beautiful on its own or stacked with your other rings.

    29. A pretty celestial journal (hello, gold foil stars) to inspire short and sweet daily reflections. There are only a few lines per day, so use them well!

    30. Rainbow stainless-steel straws — they're not only environmentally friendly, but simply darling. I love pretty, practical things, I sure do.

    31. A large sideways initial necklace you can pair with literally any outfit for a dainty but statement-making accent. I don't know how those two things go so well together, but they do.

    32. A seasonal mug to get, like, NOW because Hallmark released their 2022 holiday movie preview and you need to be prepared for all the cheesy wonders ahead! Spoiler alert: It starts...Oct. 24...

    33. A pair of gold-plated safety pin earrings that are just plain cool. There's really no other way to put it!

    The earrings

    34. Pumpkin pie sauce (UMM, yes please?!) so you can save some $$$ and make your own PSL in the comfort of your own home.

    35. Aaaand! a handheld milk foamer to give you café-quality lattes right in your kitchen. Saving money, drinking fancy — what is better than that?? And reviewers say it's also great for making *cold foam* too!

    36. A *weighted* plushie that hundreds of kid and adult reviewers swear by for a little bit of cuddling comfort. Think "weighted blanket" but smaller (and way cuter). And don't wait too long — these have been out of stock for *months* but they're back!

    When I saw the dino one in a TikTok (with the Linda Belcher "little babies" audio, obviously), I just had to order one. I opted for the cheetah — it looks cute sitting out on my loveseat and I simply can't stop snuggling up with it resting on my chest or lap, whether I'm relaxing watching TV or just getting work done between meetings.

    Promising review: "So soft! My son loves it! And the fact that it is weighted helps him sleep 10x better because it stays by his side!" —S

    Promising review: "I struggle with minor anxiety and get bad cramps! I got this because I didn’t want a whole weighted blanket! Now, I take it everywhere and I couldn’t be happier!! Worth every penny, especially if it’s going to help me like it has!" —Emmy

    Get it from Target for $20 (available in four animals: cheetah, green and pink dinosaur, and unicorn).

    37. A cleaning putty that will use its oh-so-sticky powers to get in every nook and cranny of your ride to remove dust, dirt, and every McDonald's french fry crumb.

    38. Jibbitz — aka charms for your Crocs — because your comfy, cozy cloud shoes (if you're a Croc owner, you know) can now be a reflection of your soul. Tell me a shoe that can do that.

    39. A skull ice mold, because why (WHY!!!) use boring ice cubes to chill your cocktail when you could be using THIS? Fancy, but make it spooky.

    40. A teensy wishbone necklace to help all your wishes come true (awww). When you meet your goal or get your wish, pass it onto a friend, Traveling Pants style!

    41. A pair of TikTok-famous Cushionaire slide sandals that seem to get more popular with every passing day — and for good reason. Reviewers swear the molded cushioned footbed (made from a *waterproof* foam) stays comfy for hours and hours, whether you're using them as at-home slippers or actual outside shoes.

    Promising review: "Wow!!! Best slides I’ve ever had. I have designer slides and these surpass. True to size.They are super light but sturdy to walk, even on grass and on uneven side walk. Used them to walk my dogs and don’t get my feet dirty because of the wedge height. I’ve put them to the test and I’m Ordering in more colors and a back up pair. They are also stylish so they look cute to wear out. Ordered the orange which is like a camel color. Highly recommend!!!" —Krizia

    Promising review: "Best Amazon purchase I’ve made! I have spondylilothesis and spinal stenosis, so I get horrible back, leg and foot pains. This literally helps relieve my pain while I’m working standing on my feet. They are super cute I get tons of compliments on them and they are breathable, lightweight and easy to keep clean. Perfect for Hawaii weather! 💁🏽‍♀️ There are other brands that look like this but don’t be fooled THIS is the brand that is the most comfortable I have other brands and they don’t cut it!" —Chelsea Proenza

    Get them from Amazon for $24.48+ (available in women's sizes 5-12 and 21 colors).

    42. A lavender crush candle you can "test drive" before stocking up to give...everyone you know. Seriously, one reviewer says this candle with notes of bergamot, amber, and sandalwood is "the only one they gift."

    43. A car vent dip clip so you can dip 👏 those 👏 fries 👏 without fumbling with the barbecue sauce and spilling it all over your car. May your commutes home be tolerable and filled with endless chicken nuggets.

    Two reviewer images of the clip, with one photo showing the clip attached to the car vent and a reviewer dipping fried chicken into barbecue sauce

    44. An eight-piece measuring set to create a gorge and 'Gram-worthy flat lay during your next baking adventure.
