Favorite Things: Stocking Stuffers

I'll be honest, when I first learned what Elise and Jen planned for today's "favorite things" topic was I wasn't going to participate. I never know what to put in stockings and sometimes stocking stuffers end up being silly meaningless trinkets. So, I was just going to hope y'all were more creative than me and I was going to steal borrow your ideas! However, once I started "just looking around" I realized how many great gifts options there are for stocking stuffers! 
I had more fun creating this list than I did my own favorite things list!



{one} Essie nail polish. I'm a self-admitted Essie snob. I know there may be other cheaper and better options out there but I can't help it; I love Essie. I'm also loving these two winter colors and if they showed up in my stocking I wouldn't complain.
{two} This ones for the husband. When it comes to ticket stubs, especially Tech tickets, he's a hoarder. I'm pretty sure he has every ticket to every game he has ever been too. This would be a great place to keep all his tickets together. Selfishly this would be the perfect way to get rid of the big manilla folders he has for every years worth of tickets {yup, different folder for every year}.
{three} Earphones like these showed up in my stocking a year ago. I'm super picky about earphones because a lot of them don't fit in my ears, so I was a bit skeptical at first. To my surprise these fit perfectly! Best part? They have a mic, so you can take phone calls without having to pick up your phone. These are perfect for talking to mom or Sis while I'm on my morning walks!
{four} These coupons are adorable! I'm a huge fan of gifts that last a while, so coupons have always been my favorite kind of gift. Mom use to give us coupon books for Valentine's Day and we loved it! How sweet and simple are these coupon tickets? 
{five} Rollerball perfumes are so much cheaper than the bigger spray bottles. Ever since I started receiving Birchbox I started getting more adventurous with perfume. These little rollerballs allow you to have a few different scents to choose from rather than having to commit to just one smell.
{six} I stumbled upon this "Awkward Moments Card Game" and love it! I'm a huge fan of card games and pretty much feel like my life is one big awkward moment. This game is perfect!
{seven} When we were registering for gifts for our wedding, James wanted to register for a flavor infusing pitcher. I didn't really see the point, but went along with it. Well, we got it and I love it! I drink more water if it's flavored with lemon or lime {I've heard good things about strawberry water} and if I have my own water bottle. This water bottle is the best of both worlds!
