Top 10 Best Small Stocking Stuffers for Women
Books
Many, if not most, women will love receiving a book for Christmas! Of course, the options are endless, so I’m sharing my personal favorite book of 2024, The God of the Woods, a bestselling mystery and Jimmy Fallon Book Club pick I could not put down.
Ornament
I love receiving ornaments as Christmas gifts! The options are endless, but I selected this pickle because it’s a symbol of good luck and part of a German tradition to place it last on the tree and let the kids find it on Christmas morning.

Mug
A mug is a fairly common gift, so let’s spice things up a bit. This RTIC travel mug is my favorite travel mug because it’s tall and skinny enough to fit comfortably in my car’s cup holder, and the handle makes it easy to grab at the same time.
Cozy Socks
As Harry Potter’s Dumbledore once said, “One can never have enough socks.” The same can be said about Barefoot Dreams socks. They are worth the price and live up to the hype. I have at least five pairs at this point, and they are the most cozy and high quality of all the slipper socks I’ve tried.
Bookmark
When it comes to bookmarks, my bookmark light is my top pick and a favorite of readers of The Literary Lifestyle. It’s rechargeable, adjustable, and has several settings. It’s perfect for reading by the fireplace or in bed. (In fact, it’s so good that my husband stole mine and I had to buy another.)
Lip Mask
The insanely popular Laneige lip mask has been on my nightstand for years, and each and every holiday season, readers scoop it up like crazy! It’s beloved for good reasons: it works really well, and just about every woman gets chapped lips in winter.
Notecards
Thank you cards are one of those things every woman needs and doesn’t always have when she needs them, so it’s a practical choice she’s bound to use.
Tea
Whether or not she’s a “tea drinker,” she will probably still love the popular Harney & Sons hot cinnamon spice tea with cinnamon, orange, and cloves. (I say this as someone who is picky about tea and loves it.) The flavor profile is perfect for the holiday season. I linked the decaf, which is the one I drink, but it also comes in a caffeinated version.
Gel Pens
Everyone loves a cool pen, but we don’t always buy them for ourselves. These are my favorite gel pens for underlining, taking notes, writing out cards, just being a little “extra” on any given day!
USB Lighter
This rechargeable USB lighter is a great alternative to standard lighters. There’s no fluid or flame, and you only have to buy one once. (I’ve had mine for years.) Did I mention it’s pink?!
