Last Minute Stocking Stuffers

December 18th, 2008 by sarah

Some of my favorite Christmas presents have come in my stocking and if I were to get any of the following on my list below, I would be a very happy girl on Christmas morning (hint-hint).  So, for those of you who still have some last minute shopping to do check out my list below for must-have stocking stuffer ideas!


Philosophy Warm by the Fire gift set:  I’m a sucker for all things Philosophy and this is one gift that I would be super excited about.  The set includes a 4 oz. double rich hot cocoa shampoo, body wash and shower gel, 2 oz. melting marshmallow cream souffle and a ooey gooey s’mores flavored lip shine.  Yes please!


Too Faced World Domination Tour All Access Backstage beauty collection:  The name might be a mouthful, but it goes along great with this jam packed beauty box.  I happen to own one of Two Faced beauty boxes and I love it.  This one includes several shadows, blush, highlighters, liners, bronzer and glosses.  The box is fashioned as a super cute jewelry box that actually plays Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy when opened as a mini figurine twirls inside.  This set is perfect for that glam girly girl in your life.


Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy To Go:  I love mini perfumes for several reasons.  One, they’re easy to store in your purse and to travel with, two, it’s not a huge commitment and three, they are the perfect size for stockings!  There are so many different mini fragrances to choose from, but I’m digging this new fruity floral from Juicy Couture. 


Aveda Refreshing Trip set:  I actually received this set last year from my mom and I was super excited about it.  I love the rosemary-mint collection from Aveda and this travel size set was a treat to use.  I used up the shampoo and conditioner pretty fast but I still have the foot and hand cream.  This set is great for women as well as men!


The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave by The Art of Shaving:  Don’t forget about the men on your lists, their stockings need love too!  This set is perfect for the guy that likes to keep groomed in style.  It includes a 0.5 oz pre-shave oil, 1.0 oz shaving cream, 0.5 oz after-shave balm and a shaving brush.  And if your husband, boyfriend, son or brother is anything like the man in my life, he will appreciate that the whole collection is unscented.

So, there you have it, my last minute stocking stuffer ideas!  Honestly, I could have gone on and on with ideas, but these are some good ones to either buy or at the very least get some inspiration from.  Happy Holidays!

About Cupcakes Taste Nice

My lust for beauty products has been around since I was a kid. I always wanted the most eye catching packaging and the sweetest scents. As a preteen I could not wait to get my first pimple so that I could try out the different acne products that were marketed to me in magazines and on TV. As I got older I just loved the girlie side of wanting to look and feel pretty. I love taking a shower on Saturday morning and having a plethora of products to choose from depending on my mood that day. I anticipate my beauty and style magazines coming in the mail so I can read and research new products. I even spend hours on the internet searching for factual reviews of the latest and greatest products.
