Gift ideas: Stocking Stuffers & more!

2 December, 2019; Filed Under: family & home

I’m all about low-key holidays and gifts are not my love language — but I do like giving some thoughtful gifts at Christmastime. I also love making them useful gifts when possible, but that’s just how I roll.

Gifts that give back:

First a shout out for a program I love, Operation Christmas Child. National Collection Week is already over but you can still build and send a shoebox online!

I’m also a big fan of shopping Compassion’s gift catalog.

Fitness Stocking Stuffer Ideas:

This is a brand NEW post for this year, over at my fitness blog. I’ve got ideas here for all the fitness enthusiasts on your list, from Crossfitters to yoga chicks, to gym-goers and runners. I made a point of choosing a wide range of price points, too, because sometimes it seems like stocking stuffers end up being the most expensive gifts! So no matter your budget, you should find some great items here for your fit friends and family.

And hey, if YOU’D love to see some of these items in YOUR stocking, share that post with a few hints. 😉


Neighbor Gifts:

This is a post from a few years back, but I’ve updated any broken links. No need to be a big spender to let your neighbors know you’re thinking of them at the holidays this year. Try some of these 25+ gift ideas, none of which will break the bank.

Gift ideas for the special women in your life:

Even if you tend to wait til the last minute, I’ve got some ideas for you! And take it from me, even if Mom SAYS she doesn’t care if you get her anything, she DOES still want to know you thought about her. If anyone’s asking, I’d absolutely love a few of those pretty collector’s edition books because I’ve been working on editing out ratty paperbacks in favor of fewer but nicer hardback editions of my favorites. {wink, wink}

Just a little reminder, friends (and I’m talking to myself here, too):
The holiday season can turn into a frenzy of buying and busy-ness, but we don’t have to let all that take over. We can take a minute to breathe, remember what the season is really about, and re-focus. It’s okay to say no, it’s okay not to do all the things, and you aren’t doing anyone any favors going broke buying all the gifts. We can show love for others — and ourselves — in a host of ways that don’t cost a dime.
