Christmas Stocking Stuffers for Women

Filling up the Christmas stocking with creative and charming presents for a special woman? Here are several ideas to help you shop for the women in your life this holiday season. Whether she is your mother, your daughter, your best friend or your second cousin there are plenty of options to choose from for everyone. Shopping online this Christmas also saves time and hassle. Forget the crowded stores and parking lots! Shop from the relative comfort of the computer instead and avoid bruises from swinging bags, and crushed toes from mobs of shoppers.

The Christmas classic of socks can be more than just a bag of puffy white athletic socks from the local mega-mart. At Sock Dreams, they carry socks in every color and style from seasonally themed socks to fishnet to striped thigh high leggings and more. They offer a wide range of eco-friendly socks for environmentally minded women, and nearly every kind of striped socks available. There is even a section for children so you can find a treat for the younger women on your Christmas list.

Does she love perfume? The Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (BPAL) offers unique and creative perfume oils for far less than anything available in a department store. Some of their lines include scents inspired by Alice in Wonderland, deities and devils from around the world, the stories of Neil Gaiman, and steampunk. Under Limited Editions, there are a number of Christmas season scents like Sugar Cookie, Midnight Mass and The Magi. A user created BPAL forum has a fantastic section of reviews that offer opinions on the scents for a new customer. BPAL also offers sampler 'imps' to test out various scents from their general catalog. They can be purchased as single or by the half dozen and come in standard 1/32oz vials. It is an excellent way to surprise her with amazing scents on Christmas morning. As BPAL is a small business, order ahead and expect a slightly longer shipping time than other retailers.

For a bath and body product fiend, skip the mall stores and give Villainess soaps this Christmas. The store's catchphrase is "redefining bad" and offer a variety of different soaps, scrubs, and thick 'Whipped' lotion to soothe the skin and make bathing delightful. These fantastic soaps are soft, moisture rich and made with cruelty free ingredients. From the minty explosion of Scintillating to the heady fruits and flowers of Canaan to the crisp coolness of Frostbite, the scents are lovely but light enough not to interfere with her perfume later in the day.

Christmas morning can be warm and comforting with a hot cup of tea this year. Adagio Teas offers a handy 16 ounce teapot for a woman who makes her tea one or two cups at a time. It's designed to sit over a cup and has an ingenious trigger mechanism which can be viewed on their website. A sampler kit is also available with black, green, herbal or flavored teas included with the tea pot. If she already has a reliable tea pot, consider providing her with loose leaf tea. Teas can be purchased by sample which makes two cups or in large amounts. A half dozen can be sampled in one package, and these tins are perfect for a Christmas stocking.

Does she enjoy baking? A perfect Christmas stocking stuffer might be the Heifer International cookie mold offer by King Arthur Flour. The charming mold for shortbread or butter cookies pictures some of the farm animals Heifer International donates to families in need around the world. A portion of the sale price is donated to Heifer International, so the gift serves a double purpose. For bakers and supporters of Heifer International, it is a wonderful treat.

For women of all ages who love spending time in the kitchen, fill their Christmas stocking with a beautiful apron by Momomadeit. Made in a variety of beautiful fabrics, these aprons are well finished, washable and light as a feather. The retro styles are flattering and fun. For relaxing after all the cooking, there are also sleep masks made in some of the same lovely fabrics by this seller.

If she is more interested in her hair than the kitchen, consider accessories to stuff in her Christmas stocking. Etsy sellers offer tons of handmade and one of a kind hair accessories, from pony tail rings to head bands to hair clips that would make excellent Christmas stocking stuffers. Find her some cute pony tail holders, from these seasonal fruits and leaves at PolymerPosies or the rose and snake tattoo hair ties. Younger women might especially love the oversize ponytail holders from Gazzu. The BargainHeadbands shop offers simple headbands covered in colorful paisleys, damasks, brocades, polka dots and other fabrics. For simple barrettes and bows, Hazel's Zippie Clippies offers an enormous selection.

Looking for gifts for a brand new baby this Christmas? You might put a few washcloths or onesies in her stocking from Allisa Jacobs. Made of soft and colorful cotton prints and terrycloth, they are also machine washable. For young women and women without enough pockets, you might drop a handmade change purse or a small bag in their Christmas stocking. These are perfect for keeping allowances or toll road coins all in one spot.

Should none of those items suit the woman you are shopping for, simply search the thousands of sellers online with Etsy. Many of them are offering various Christmas specials. The site allows you to easily purchase from multiple sellers without hassle. Filling all those Christmas stockings for the women in your life will be a snap.
