10 Drugstore Stocking Stuffers That’ll Bless Your Christmas Eve - Page 11

While everyone is focused on what’s under the Christmas tree right now, you can’t forget about what goes inside the stocking. Stocking stuffers have always been a personal favorite of mine because those items are typically the things I need but absolutely hate to buy. And I love to see the look on someone else’s face when they receive a cool new product they would’ve never bought for themselves but can’t wait to try.

Since most of your moula is going to the big Christmas gifts, we decided to put together a list of drugstore items that’ll make the perfect stocking stuffers this holiday. No need to break the bank on these necessities, the look on your loved one’s faces when they see what’s inside will be truly priceless.

Most naturals will tell you hair ties are not her friend.

Enter the puff cuff. The 2018 version of the banana clip, created to secure your puff into a ponytail while still letting it be big and free.
