This year has been a very intense and crazy year- I think we can all agree, right? I look forward to the holidays so much this year because I feel like we all need something positive to think about. As always, I have rounded up some amazing stocking stuffers that won’t fail at making someone else smile. My tried and true favorites and you just can’t go wrong!

1.Hand sanitizer/Antibacterial gel- Let’s be real- this is the year for antibacterial gel! I love these holiday themed ones, and they are small and can be easily thrown in your purse, pocket or your car! I even keep one in our stroller at all times just incase I forget or change my bags.

2.Bath bombs- Another crowd favorite! Who doesn’t want to relax in a bath these days? One of my favorite things to do after a stressful day is to jump in the bath and scroll through my ipad or read a book. I find that bath bombs are an all around easy gift to give because almost everyone loves them, or wants to use one.

3.Lottery Tickets & Scratchoffs- Every year all of the men in my family look forward to opening up Scratch-Offs from me. It’s the gift that keeps on giving (especially if you win!) I love watching everyone’s faces as they grab their coins and see if they’ve won. The New Jersey Lottery has four Holiday themed Scratch-Offs available for the Holiday season. The tickets come in different themes and different price points ($1, $2, $5 Happy Holidays, and $10 $1,00,000 Spectacular). These tickets are easy to find at any brick and mortar Lottery retailer like 7/11, Quick Check, Wawa, etc. If you want more project ideas, view this video. Holiday Scratch-Offs make gift giving simple and stress-free. What would you do if you won?

4. Candles- As a candle lover- I feel like this is just a perfect gift for anyone. Most people love candles- especially during the holidays, and there are so many fun and festive options to choose from. When in doubt- candles are always a good choice.

5. Face mask- The theme of this years stocking stuffers is STRESS RELIEF. I love a good face mask after a long and stressful day- and most people are just looking for ways to unwind. If this year has taught us anything- it’s to relax and make sure to take care of our mind and body.
