Who doesn’t love the thrill of shopping for a stocking stuffer? Well, maybe a lot of people. Maybe ever you! But I do think there’s a certain art to it.
Finding that cute item that might not cost much, might even be handmade, but in the end has a small connection between the gift giver and receiver.
And that’s why I really wanted to focus on stocking stuffers this year. Because they can hold just as much meaning as the flashy appliance or car under a giant bow you’re getting to really surprise your loved one.
So, without further adieu, here’s a few just as fabulous items you can stuff a stocking with this holiday season.
2022 Last Minute Stocking Stuffers
From Mundane To Artisanal
I love the trend of taking an everyday food item, and going fabulous and fancy for a holiday gift. In the end they can be giant fruit and cheese baskets curated with care, or just one specific item the perfect stocking size.
I recently received this delicious whole grain mustard from France from the brand Trois Petits Cochons (French for three little pigs). A delicious find for anyone looking for a snazzy upgrade for their next sandwich and a stocking stuffer for your foodie friends. You can find it in person at The Shop.
For Millennials, It’s Coasters
If there’s one thing my friends and I have learned as we grow into elder millennials is the importance of a good coasters.
Did we listen to adults growing up who said to use them? No!
Do we realize the importance of them now that we have our own furniture and antiques to take care of? Absolutely!
On top of that, any millennial is a sucker for originality and something to make their character stand out. Which is why these coasters from Drinks On Me Coasters are the perfect gift. With their own quotes and phrases for any (truly, any) personality, you’re bound to find one your millennial loved one will adore. Found on their website or in person at The Shop.
Locally Made Greeting Cards
A holiday card is always a lovely touch to any stocking. A personal message/greeting for the holidays with an (optional) trinket, bookmark, or gift card is never not a nice gesture. A way to step it up? Finding a beautifully local hand-crafted holiday card to use.
Greeting cards are a great way to support local! Always a lower cost way for you to invest in your own community.
The Shop’s own Mike Zippel’s series, Beloved Buildings, has a collection of cards that are perfect for the holidays this time of year, or any holiday! Now available at The Shop.
