    46 Useful Stocking Stuffers They're Sure To Really Appreciate

    Dare I say, they're even better than chocolates.

    Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!

    1. A 12-pack of water bottle-cleaning tablets to make sure everyone's go-to container actually gets cleaned. (Cleaning water bottles is hard!)

    2. A red wine stain remover that can work on soooo many other stains too.

    3. A deck of Harry Potter cards because everyone should have a good deck of cards on hand for traveling, passing the time, whatever!

    4. Houseplant care cards for the wannabe old plant lady who has left a few dead plants in their wake.

    5. Clay mask sticks they can use to more or less draw on the part of their face they want to address instead of dirtying their hands.

    6. A cleaning pen that'll *gently* revive the look of their jewels that they DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE have grown cloudy over time. Don't worry, it's made with micro-fine cleansers, polishing agents, and a polymer for a pro-level shine at the price of your morning coffee order.

    7. A phone lamp to corral their phone's flashlight in times of need... even while camping!

    8. A set of phone camera lenses they'll be able to use for amazing vacation photos that only *look* like they had to lug around hefty camera equipment to achieve.

    9. Reusable dress weights to prevent your household's dress stan from having a Marilyn-like moment. It happens! But it doesn't have to happen.

    10. A masked Dwight bottle opener can scare off other people from dare swiping one of their beers.

    11. A tactical writing pen with a point that'll break glass or serve as a weapon against an attacker if ya' need it to. This takes the pen being a sword to a whole other level. Hopefully you'll use it for writing considerably more often than breaking glass.

    12. Ice grips so trekking across snowy sidewalks in cute shoes won't be a problem.

    13. A skyline of bookmarks to help them keep their page in the books they just got for the holidays that they're reading all at once.

    14. Silicone beer savers for keeping a six-pack of the good stuff fresh in case of emergencies.

    15. A hair finishing stick can smooth out all those stray hairs and bumps that seem to magically appear no matter how much smoothing and pulling they do while putting up a pony or bun. This will be incredibly useful for folks who always wear their hair up.

    16. Biodegradable bamboo toothbrushes for anyone who's trying to create a little less waste.

    17. And coconut oil–coated floss to leave them scratching their head. But then they'll have squeaky clean teeth and that's more important.

    18. A selfie ring as a means for the best possible light for their self-anointed closeups.

    19. A compact travel jewelry box to help any style obsessive keep their baubles in order.

    20. And some earring-lifting backs so they don't have to fight the droopy look while wearing their fave baubles.

    21. A ~secretive~ brush where they can stash some cash as a little extra insurance both at home and on journeys.

    22. And a trio of mini Wet Brushes to help tame the wildest of tangles.

    23. Mini screwdrivers that'll become indispensible in their tool kit for eyeglasses, appliances, and lots of other essential bits.

    24. Stainless-steel straws and a cleaning tool so their at-home iced coffee obsession won't create an island of plastic straws in the ocean. Also the steel just makes the coffee taste even colder!!

    25. Or if they're into a more flexible solution, a 10-pack of silicone straws they can even cut to size for their to-go tumbler of choice.

    26. A five-pack of wallet-size multitools anyone and everyone could use.

    27. A magnifying LED makeup mirror they can tuck into a bag and use to turn a flat surface into a vanity.

    28. A shampoo bar for the person who's already sworn to live a zero-waste life in 2020.

    29. A three-pack of Tide To Go pens because they'll always be grateful they have one on them.

    30. A cheerful tea infuser to help feed a tea-lover's habit.

    31. A spare pair of ear buds because these tiny things we rely on so heavily are incredibly easy to lose and these can be their backup! AND these round jacks will fit into the ports on airplanes for those long-haul flights.

    32. An ear buds holder so sharp, it won't be forgotten!

    33. Nearly invisible earplugs that'll reduce extra noise at concerts, loud events, and more! Anyone who plans their social life around music festivals needs a pair.

    34. A bottle of V.I.Poo for deadening treacherous toilet smells before they can happen.

    35. A pack of moldable glue they could use a million different ways around the house, from corralling wires to sealing cracks in rain boots to mounting hardware on tile walls.

    36. A 14-pack of stain erasers to lighten the wear and tear their red wine love is taking on their teeth.

    37. A phone-holding dino to make video chats and reading news stories so much easier on your over-used hand.

    38. A Bagnet, aka a magnetized purse hook-type thing that'll let them hang their purse on a metal bathroom stall, bar stool, or any other metal place so they don't have to put their nice bag on the floor. (ICK!)

    39. A beard balm for eliminating itch and beardruff, and giving 'em the most magnificent facial hair in their damn life.

    40. A four-pack of cat butt coasters as a conversation starter that'll protect nice tabletops.

    41. A 13-pack of beautifully packaged sheet masks to tuck into everyone's stocking for a family pampering pic later.

    42. A TubShroom anyone with tons of hair (like this writer) will appreciate sooo much. Seriously, they'll split their life between before and after TubShroom.

    43. An incredibly moisturizing moisturizer for working wonders on dry lips, faces, hands, cuticles, feet, elbows or knees. Really wherever!

    44. A five-pack of Disney princess socks because socks will forever be a useful gift. You know what's not useful? Cold feet!

    45. A trio of no-crease hair ties that won't betray the person who spends waaaay too much time on their long locks.

    46. And a four-pack of Starbucks gift cards so everyone has something to do once they get restless from being in the house together for too long.

    When they see what Santa left in their stocking:
