Just in case Santa missed the memo, here are 18 stunning stocking stuffer ideas

Picture this, it’s Christmas morning, and you’re sat around with your family in Christmas PJs opening your Santa stocking. Got the mental image? Good, because in a few short days that will be your reality. 

As the festive feels build, so does the anticipation. Does Santa know what I want for Christmas? Should I text mum just in case (answer: yes, we all know that wrapping looks awfully familiar)? Before you hit send on your Chrissy wishlist text, check out a few of these stocking stuffer ideas to let your loved ones know, juuuust in case the big man has missed the memo.

Skin Control Festive Pimple Patch

$9.99 from Priceline

Absolutely no one has time for blemishes during the festive season. But if one does materialise (and they always do) throughout the holidays, a Christmas pimple patch is the only way to go. 

These hydrocolloid patches are designed with cica, tea tree and niacinamide to help cleanse the skin and reduce the appearance of whiteheads.

DU’IT Roll On Heel Balm

$12.99 from Chemist Warehouse

Summer is sandal season, so you need to have your heels looking the part. But dealing with thick creams and foot peels is a lot. Instead, opt for a fast-acting, convenient roll-on balm with a fast-absorbing, non-greasy, urea-rich formula.

Lanolips Holiday Mini Bites Lip Trio

$15 from MECCA

Australia might be severely lacking when it comes to mistletoe, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep your pout hydrated (especially during the warmer months). Thankfully the innovative, lip-loving people over at Lanolips have developed two standout Christmas flavours (Candy Cane and Gingerbread BTW) and put them in a pack with the equally as delicious Glazed Donut flavour. Your pout will be feeling protected and plumped while you get to enjoy the incredible flavours.

Frank Green Lip Gloss Holder 

$14.95 from Frank Green

This innovative new launch is a ‘shut up and take my money’ type of product. If, like us, your emotional support water bottle is an oversized Frank Green, then you need to add a lip gloss holder to the strap to keep your equally as supportive lip gloss fave on hand at all times (we recommend: Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, $41 from MECCA).

Sundae Gingerbread Shower Foam

$20 from Priceline

Is there anything better than a fun shower product? We think not, which is why we’re forever stocked up on Sundae Body’s whipped shower foam. But of course the festive season calls for a festive flavour, and what’s more seasonally appropriate than smelling like gingerbread? Well, aside from eating it of course.
