All holidays are about love. While this page is to give you some ideas on Gifts and Stocking Stuffers, if you don’t keep that in mind, it is easy to get stressed out. And then you focus on the negative aspects. Don’t do that to yourself or your loved ones! I would rather get no gift than a gift that someone ran out and got ‘because they felt like they had to!’
In fact, my husband and I pretty much get practical gifts for each other. We discussed just this morning that, due to supply chain issues, and money supply issues, it was a good time to really think A) Buy American from Small retailers, and B) Buy Less but quality.
Although I am one of those that don’t want to see Christmas decorations before Halloween, and don’t want to hear Christmas Music until the day after Thanks Giving, I love the holidays! But I love them for the fun and opportunities for quality time they bring to our families and friends. If you are inspired to go for some more practical ideas that are still great gifts, you will definitely find some American Small Business options here!
Of course, the last holiday season was pretty lousy as some go, due to things going on in the world. But what we did do was find ways to make things work and connect in different ways.
I love that we humans can be so creative in the face of adversity! While things have opened up a lot, things are still not back to what we would call ‘normal.’ With that in mind, here are a few suggestions you can order now and take out the stress of shopping!
For ladies, most of us like pretty clothes, but we like to stay organized and make our money stretch, too! So one option is Functional Fashion. Check them out and you will find any of these exclusive designs converts into at least one other convenient item! I was pretty amazed at the versatility of each item! And would love pretty much anything I have seen on their site as a gift or stocking stuffer! (Could someone pass on that hint to my husband?)
For my second suggestion for the women and girls in your life, I suggest Femme Fan gear. And you can get more information right here!
If you are gifting anyone with what is known as Type 4C hair–also defined as textured, curly, or natural hair, then please check out Joifulbee! These are must haves for healthy hair care and definitely gift worthy! Whether you get her Perfect Wash Day Kit, or individual items, you can’t go wrong! I confess, my husband has long, coarse hair and a beard that could benefit from some of Joi’s love, so guess what he is getting in his stocking??
For some great places to get Vegan make up for gifts or stocking stuffers, please check out my health and beauty category on the menu to the left.
However, if you have a loved one who is using collagen, this new product is blowing all the rest out of the water! It is a high quality liquid in an easy to use single serving snap. I was so impressed with how fast I got results! Not just me, though! There are tons of people already giving their testimonials on this great product, even though it has only been out a couple of months!
Each box contains 25 snaps, but if you reach out to me right before you order, I can generate a coupon for your first order for 25% off on up to four boxes! You don’t have to be a health nut to enjoy the benefit of these, but I know a doctor that never does his work out with out taking one!
And for some group fun, check out some cool games that will get everyone off their tablets and engaged!
For the Grill Master (or Mistress) in your life, get them some Red Neck Lipstick! Otherwise known as the best barbeque sauce in a bottle!! I don’t know a grill or pit master who doesn’t love to try new flavors!
And for an outdoors game guaranteed to work off some energy, this is one of the coolest new ones I have seen! I even saw some professional NFL players getting into it! When you need a break, the two end goals convert into camp chairs!
Scents for men and women are always great gifts, too! I found a great way to shop for some name brand perfumes–even for kids!. They have a huge selection and a sale going on, too!
This next suggestion might be what you call a ‘big ticket item.’ And too big for a stocking stuffer!!
However, if you have the budget, it is so worth the money! It will be loved and used for years! The water machine saves a ton of money over time. Not to mention making it easier to ‘be green!’ Even more important, the filters purify your water, removing 99.9 percent of all pathogens and even metals and chemicals that so often contaminate our water supplies!
On this one, I think they have a referral program, where you get free filters when you refer someone to them. The filters last anywhere from 6-10 years, so if you are getting free ones, you may never have to buy! And they currently have Ten Percent off of your First order!!
Have you got a fishing enthusiast? Here are some great lures for Bass fishing!
And for the budding musicians, this is next level! Karaoke machine of professional quality with a family room price!
These are just a few of the ideas that I have found recently, but feel free to browse around. We have a gourmet tea shop and a wine of the month club, more formal clothing, including for curvy women, and so much more. If you don’t see what you want, reach out and let me see if I can find it for you!
