You’ve got all your major shopping out of the way and then—boom!—you realize you forgot the stocking stuffers. Or, perhaps you've shopped for all your loved ones and suddenly remember you need a few little tokens of appreciation to give to your mail carrier, the dog walker, or the friendly neighbor down the street. If any of these situations sound familiar, we’ve got your back. From beauty goodies to innovative home finds, we’ve curated the best stocking stuffers from Oprah’s Favorite Things. Bonus: Most of them are from small businesses, making them feel even more unique and special.
1) Plush Velvet Travel Jewelry Box Organizer
Benevolence LA
amazon.com
$19.99
This velvet box, which comes in a rosy pink, navy, celestial blue, and a deep forest green, keeps jewelry organized when you’re on the go. Don’t be fooled by its small size—it has dedicated compartments for rings, earrings of all sizes, and necklaces, meaning you can stow a whole wedding weekend worth of jewelry inside. Because it’s so compact, it fits neatly into purses and carry-ons, so you can keep your valuables close during trips to points near and far.
2) Party in a Palette 4 Face Palettes
Laura Geller
Amazon
Found: high-quality, super-affordable face palettes that make it easy to do full glam in a snap. The set of four has everything a deserving friend could need for a flawless beauty moment, even if your bestie is a makeup pro who could make her own application videos. Each individual palette contains six eyeshadows, a blush, and a highlighter, in easy-to-wear, flattering shades that work for different skin tones and types—plus a mirror to check their work on the go.
3) Pepper Mill & Spice Grinder
FinaMill
amazon.com
$44.99
For the home chef who wants to experiment with new spices, this portable, lightweight grinder makes it easy to add flavor to any dish without having to haul a clunky machine out of the depths of their kitchen cabinets. If you’re giving the gift of cookware this holiday season, slip this into their stocking and wait for the delicious creations they’ll be sure to whip up.
4) The Motli Light
The USB Lighter Company
amazon.com
$45.00
No more looking around for matches, or hoping the pocket lighter that’s made it through three moves still somehow works. The Motli Light comes in trendy colors and patterns, from avocado green to rainbow terrazzo, which means you can leave it out on the mantel, sideboard, or wherever you might need to do some candle-lighting stat. (And if you know someone with a moody gas-burner stove, they’ll give this baby pride of place on the kitchen counter.) When the moment comes, all it takes is a quick flick to light perfectly every time. Best of all, it’s battery-powered and rechargeable via USB, so no need to refill fuel, or add to landfills with disposables. And if they happen to reach for it to light candles during a blackout, well, the end is a flashlight, too!
5) The Eve 800-Piece Art Puzzle + Glue Kit
JIGGY
amazon.com
$49.00
Family puzzle night gets an upgrade with this 800-piece set, which trades the cardboard box for a sleek glass container they’ll be proud to display. The founder was a jigsaw addict who tired of the outdated design options available and wanted to turn puzzles into art. She commissioned contemporary artists to design each of these, and ships them along with puzzle glue so that, once the arts appreciator in your life is done making theirs, they can have it framed as a memento of what a good time was had during the assembly process, and a modern art masterpiece they had a hand in completing.
6) Heatable Stuffed Animals
Warmies
Amazon
$30.00
A cozy stuffed sloth, an adorable goose, or a playful puppy are guaranteed to put a smile on anyone’s face, but these plush animals have a special secret: They can be warmed in the microwave to serve as a heating pad for aches and pains or a soothing addition to a kid’s bedtime routine. Plus, they are lightly weighted and scented with calming French lavender for a total sensory experience.
7) All-Satin Knot Turban
Grace Eleyae
amazon.com
$32.00
If everyone had one of these satin turbans, the world would be a much less frizzy place! The soft, almost-slippery fabric is great for hair: It reduces friction (a big contributor to frizz) and helps prevent breakage, a major complaint for anyone whose hair tends to be dry. This one is easy to put on—no complicated wrapping or tying required—which means it’s a no-brainer to grab for it at bedtime. Or wrap it up with some beauty and wellness products to give an at-home spa day.
8) Jeweled Gloves
Super Smalls
Amazon
Any child who loves sparkles will adore these gloves, which use rhinestones to mimic gems of every color. (And more than a few adults will wonder why they don’t come in grown-up sizes!) They’re a genius solve for the kid who won’t wear mittens if they don’t go with their outfit. Or, when paired with tickets to the Nutcracker or a reservation for high tea, they make the perfect fancy-date accessory for the most glamorous child you know.
9) Headlightz Baseball Caps
Roq Innovation
Amazon
$30.00
Entrepreneur Raquel Graham wanted to make going outside after dark both safer and easier, and in a stroke of genius, Headlightz was born. This baseball cap with rechargeable LED-light is a game changer for runners, bikers, campers, or anyone who spends time working outside at night. The hat, which can be worn all year round, eliminates the need to carry a bulky flashlight, keeping hands free and paths bright on nighttime dog walks and early-morning runs.
10) Hot Chocolate Gift Crate
Pepper Creek Farms
Amazon
$40.00
Winter and hot chocolate: Can you name a more iconic duo? Whoever is lucky enough to pull this out of their stocking isn’t just getting a luxe take on a beloved classic. They’re also in for some serious taste treats that just might introduce their palates to a whole new world, thanks to flavors like pumpkin spice, salted caramel, and peppermint.
