Best Stocking Stuffer Ideas and Weekend Reads | 12-18

Shopping for stocking stuffers is my favorite part of gift giving.  I love adding in those thoughtful little touches to help solve problems mentioned throughout the year, tasty local treats or something truly bizarre.  If you need a little help digging up the best stocking stuffer ideas for your fam, look no further!

My family has always gone all out with stocking stuffers.  As we’ve gotten older, I’ve taken it upon myself to bring it to a whole new level.  I really enjoy finding little cheap and helpful treasures.

One of my favorite places to shop for stocking stuffers is our local (artisan-y) grocery store called New Seasons.  Think of it as a local Whole Foods of sorts.  I guarantee you have something like it near you.  It’s our neighborhood market.  I always find the best local food, candy, coffee and bath products here every year.

Portland-based CBD salts?  Cocktail mixing kits?  Coffee of every kind?  They’ve got it.  So I usually start here.  A few of my favorite finds in 2020: CBD dog treats and a cocktail book called “Let’s Get Fizzical,” a guide to bubbly drinks.

Kitchen gadgets are always a big hit in my family.  Here are a few of my favorites from Christmas’ past:

Weekend Reads | 12-18

I spent a little time thinking about 2020 for a series of posts after Christmas and stumbled across a bunch of interesting lists to share like…

-Best Netflix movies of 2020

-The Ringer ranks best movies of 2020

-Esquire’s list of top films

-WWW’s piece on what to buy in 2020 that will still be cool in 2021

-Marie Claire’s beauty products that changed our lives

I’m really mad seeing this after I’ve made my Christmas list because this is AWESOME.

NOT down with this trend… what do you think?

Our couch finally arrived!  We settled on the PB Comfort couch with a chaise lounge.  So far, it’s been great.

These boots are adorable for anyone living in a place where you get snow.

I’ve been weirdly in the mood for Christmas horror movies? Don’t ask…here’s a list.

I love some of the neutral pieces in this Victoria Beckham x Reebok collaboration.

Wondering when you’ll get the Covid vaccine?  Take this quiz.

The Daily on whether or not Facebook should be broken up was super interesting right now.  What do you think?

Also, two new podcasts I’m enjoying:

Very into soups right now… 15 delicious recipes to try.

My new favorite site is Rebag…it’s another luxury consignment store, but they have been having KILLER deals this holiday season.  I bought a few gifts that were luxury items, but an additional 30% off.  Plus, their items are all authenticated.  These adorable Chanel earrings are only $320.
