Most families wait until Christmas morning to open their stockings – but not at my house! We always get a little to excited about presents to wait. So instead of going to bed right away, we take our stockings down off the mantelpiece the night before Christmas morning and see what little goodies await us. It’s like watching a tiny sneak preview before the big movie premiere.
One of the things I love giving the most is gifts that promote wellness, from tea to essential oil to scrumptious, free trade chocolate. What can I say, I can never stop caring about people’s wellbeing, especially during the holiday hoopla.
If you’re like me and want to give gifts that show your love, read my list of the top ten practical stocking stuffer ideas for everyone on your Christmas list.
1 | Signature Tea Sampler Pack
With this Signature Sampler, give the tea lover in your family the gift of all seven of Tea and I’s wellness blends. They’ll be able to choose their favorite from Spice Revival, Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder, Valerian ZZZs, Black Forest Bloom, Elderberry Armor, Golden Turmeric Truffle, and Womb Ritual.
2 | Olive Wood Spoon Collection
If you’re a tea fanatic, you know that the tools you use to measure out your herbs are just as important as the herbs themselves. With our sustainable wild olive wood spoon collection, you can feel good about making tea from the very first scoop. That’s because the olive wood is sourced through fair trade standards from Kenya.
Make a big pot of tea to share with our large hook handle scoop, or a small serving with our short handle scoop; and stir up a sweet blend with our teaspoons. All are handmade with love.
Nothing is worse than being sick on Christmas. If one of your loved ones is feeling under the weather, slip our Elderberry Armor Tea into their stocking. This powerful blend will strengthen their immune system and help them recover from flu and cold symptoms.
4 | Matcha Tea
To promote good energy in your family members that will last them the whole Christmas season, give them Tea and I’s Matcha Tea. This blend is rich in antioxidants that will bolster their natural immunity and fight off infections.
5 | Tea Infuser Wand And Brush Set
Our Tea Infuser Wand and Brush Set is the ultimate practical stocking stuffer for your tea-loving friends and family. The wand is a combination scoop, infuser, and stirring spoon. You can slip it into your purse, backpack, or even your pocket. A brush is included to help you clean the wand when you’re finished with it.
6 | AromaTools Essential Oil Necklace
Does the person whose stocking you’re stuffing love the scent of essential oils? Maybe they’re also feeling a little under the weather and could do with a bit of aromatherapy. If either of those is the case, then they will love this essential oil necklace by AromaTools. It features a small glass vial that they can fill over and over again with different kinds of oil. You might suggest putting a few drops of peppermint oil in it to promote clear sinuses during the frosty winter season.
7 | Taza Chocolate Winter Warmer Sampler
Chocolate and spice are two things that go hand in hand during Yuletide. Combine them with a direct trade brand, and you’ve got Taza Chocolate’s Winter Warmer Sampler! These Mexican-style discs are made with stone ground chocolate from Direct Trade-certified cacao beans. They’re mixed with different spices, including cinnamon and chili, as well as coffee to spice up this smooth, rich candy.
The sampler comes with eight chocolates, and at only $21, this is one of the best cheap stocking stuffer ideas.
8 | DoTerra Essential Peppermint Oil
Peppermint oil is not just reminiscent of Christmas, it’s also a wonderful, natural wellness aid. It helps soothe an upset stomach, as well as opens up your lungs and nasal passages. This bottle of peppermint oil from DoTerra is small enough to slip into a stocking. Your loved one can add a few drops of it to their tea, diffuse it, or even rub it on their stomach when they get too full of Christmas dinner.
9 | Beesponsible Honey Flight Honey Sampler
Honey is delicious and works beautifully as a natural sweetener for tea. It’s also a practical stocking stuffer! When you purchase the Honey Flight sampler from Beesponsible, you’ll get four small jars of honey flavored four different ways_ Clover, Wildflower, Berry, and Orange Blossom. You can split the jars up between four stockings, or stuff them all in one – it’s up to you!
If you’re concerned about the impact of honey making on the planet, don’t be: Beesponsible handmakes their raw honey variations using methods that are environmentally safe. Just another reason this is such a great gift idea!
10 | Rocky Mountain Oils Handheld Personal Diffuser
This personal diffuser by Rocky Mountain Oils is the perfect stocking stuffer. It’s small, it’s slim, and it’s cheap: only $15.95! Your loved one will enjoy how easily they can take it with them on the go.
If they need an extra pick me up, or are feeling ill, or they just need to take a moment to center their energy, a portable oil diffuser will help them sink into the moment with a comforting natural scent.
Which stocking stuffers do you have your eye on this year? Always remember that you can give a gift that is interesting, pretty, and promotes wellness.
