Last Minute, Easy to Find, Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well and for those who celebrate, I hope you're ready for Christmas. If you're not all done with shopping don't fret, I have a few suggestions for last minute stocking stuffers that should be pretty easy to find. These are a few of my favorite tried and true items and I would love to see any of these in my stocking. This post is not sponsored in any way. I used promotional images from the official websites, I did not take these photos. 

First up is CND Solar Oil. This is a fantastic product that works hard to keep your cuticles and nails looking fresh and hydrated in the cold weather. 

I use this all times of the year as my go to cuticle oil. After removing a manicure, filing and buffing my nails, I slather this all over my nails and cuticles, rub it in for a minute or two then wash it off. If I am feeling super dry I will put some on and keep it on (just using a little less than I would during a manicure). 

This stuff smells divine, like sweet almond oil. It's absolutely beautiful smelling. 

You can pick this up at CVS for around $8.00 to $10.00 depending on your location.

Next up is my favorite hand lotion from Bath and Body Works. This is the True Blue Spa Shea Cashmere & Silk Hand Cream.  This retails for around $10 from Bath & Body Works but right now it's going for $6.00 in stores and online.

This is one of the best hand creams I have ever tried. It smells amazing, like vanilla and almond with a touch of sandalwood. It's quite a sexy scent. Be warned though if you're sensitive to strong scents you may not like this. The scent will last through several hand washings and lingers for quite some time. I love that but it may be a turnoff for some of you. 

This is one of the only hand creams I can tolerate on my hands. It sinks in quickly and doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy, just insanely moisturized. I love love love the feeling of this cream on my hands and rarely use other hand creams. Nothing has compared to the scent and feeling of this one. It's a real winner in my book.

Next up is the world's greatest quick drying top coat. I cannot live without this in my collection, I just can't. I keep several back ups of it available at all times.

This is a quick drying, high shine top coat that has become a cult favorite though out the years. I have yet to find a top coat to live up to the expectations this has created. It will seriously change your nail polishing life. I swear. It makes giving yourself a manicure so much faster as it cuts down on drying time. The result? Perfect nails in no time flat.

If you haven't tried this, trust me, you need it. It's not a luxury, it's a necessity.

You can find this at CVS, Sally Beauty Supply and a few other similar stores for around $6.99 - $9.99 depending on your location.

Next up is a good old lip smacker lip balm in plain ol' vanilla. I have lip balms that I love more than this one but we're talking last minute stocking stuffers so I wanted to suggest a great product that was easy to find in a snap.  I've seen Lip Smacker products anywhere for CVS and Walmart to my local grocery store.

I love the good old classic  vanilla lip smacker. It's actually a pretty great quality balm to have in your purse. It's super moisturizing, smells and tastes great and only costs around $1.75.  I think this little balm would make anyone happy from your little sister to your mom. Can't beat classic.

And last, but most certianly not least is a stocking stuffer for the reader in your life. I know all of my lovely followers are into beauty but I am sure there are some on your Christmas lists that just are not. Well if they are into books, and I mean books, not Kindles LOL, they will love love love my favorite book marks from "Last Line".

I have mentioned these on my blog before but I just love them and wish more people knew about them. They are the best bookmarks and never fall out. They clip to the side of your page and allow you to mark exactly where you left off last time you read.

I get mine at Barnes and Noble for around $1.99 for a two pack. They come in a variety of fun colors too.  I can never have enough of these lying around!

So that's all I have for you today but I hope it helps you make those stockings a little more full this year. 

What are your favorite items to stuff stockings with?

Kaylala: Cutie Pie Cuticle Cream

Hi everyone! I am finally feeling a little better! Today I want to share a fabulous all natural product from Kaylala.  This is their Lemon Meringue Cutie Pie Cuticle Cream.  It's made with some fantastic ingredients including Emu Oil, which is found in tons of the company's products.  Emu Oil is rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids so it's great for your skin! 


Here's what Kaylala has to say about it:

Our intensive, healing cuticle cream balm soothes dry and damaged cuticles with a pleasing, all natural, Lemon Meringue scent.  

The organic and natural ingredients are antibacterial, antiviral & antimicrobial to protect cracked cuticles from germs.
contains:

AEA Certified Emu oil, Organic Aloe Vera, Maryland Pesticide-Free Beeswax, Organic Macadamia Nut oil, Organic Rosehip Seed oil, Vitamin E (Non GMO), Organic Lemon Tea Tree oil, Organic Turmeric, Lemon oil.
Net Wt .25 oz (7g) in a glass pot.

Everything in this product is organic  and the company uses recyclable packaging. I love companies who care about our bodies and environment. We only have one body and one Earth right? The Emu Oil they use comes from their very own Emus that they raise on their family farm. These animals are raised free range and are antibiotic and hormone free. So heads up, the product is obviously not Vegan if that's a concern of yours. Emu Oil comes from the fat of the birds. 


I really really like this stuff. I use several different cuticle treatments and this is honestly becoming one of my top!  The consistency is great. It's a solid balm but it's nice and emolient so it's easy to use. It rubs on easily and absorbs quickly. It doesn't leave the skin greasy at all and does an excellent job moisturizing.  I think the Emu Oil is the star of this product.  Sometimes balms can be a bit dry and you have to rub and rub in order to get enough product to moisturize; not the case here. You just rub your finger for a second and you have enough to  hydrate your cuticles.


I love the scent! It's a sweet fresh lemon scent. It does not smell like lemon cleaner, I know when some of you hear lemon you think cleaner but I promise this is a lovely lemon scent. In fact I'd like a candle in this scent.

The stuff on the edges is just some stickiness left over from the packaging. 

This product retails at Kaylala for $7.95.  I have been exploring their website and there are so many products I am interested in trying so don't be shocked if you see more reviews soon! I think their pricing is reasonable and their philosophy is great! 


Have you tried any of Kaylala's products? Let me know what you think of them in the comments! I'd love some suggestions.
