Whether you’re shopping for yourself or hunting for the perfect stocking stuffer, these picks are sure to inspire and delight.
Revision Skincare YouthFull Lip Replenisher
“I love this lip gloss because it goes on clear, adjusts to my pH to turn into the perfect pink for me, feels super smooth and shiny, and keeps my lips hydrated in the winter when everything is dry!” — Hailey Cunningham, StyleBlueprint Account Executive
Danessa Myricks Setting Spray
“This Danessa Myricks spray has officially become my new beauty fixation (It also makes a great stocking stuffer!). It earns every bit of hype as a 2025 Allure Best of Beauty winner. I use it as a setting spray, and it magically keeps my skin matte, poreless, and hydrated all day long, with makeup that does NOT move. It also doubles as a priming mist and can work between makeup layers to melt everything together for a natural finish!” — Anne Marie Hanna, Marketing Coordinator & Editorial Assistant
Toaster Tongs
“Turns out, the best thing since sliced bread … actually helps you get to the sliced bread. Designed like chopsticks, these clever little bread tongs are perfect for plucking toast straight from the toaster without sacrificing your fingertips. Because if you’re anything like me, you’re too impatient to wait for it to cool off. Oh, and there’s a magnet so you can hang them nearby. I’m obsessed!” — Jenna Bratcher, Lead Nashville Writer & Associate Editor
Telestrations
“I love a good party game, and I recently received Telestrations during a White Elephant gift swap. Imagine Pictionary meets Telephone: everyone draws, guesses, and somehow it always ends in total chaos. Plus, it’s super easy to play, and it’s sure to garner a lot of laughs!” — Brianna Goebel, Associate Editor & Sponsored Content Editor
Londontown Nail Concealer
“I’m calling this THE stocking stuffer of 2025. This ‘nail concealer’ by Londontown is an ultra-sheer formula that can be layered to create your preferred shade, and it comes in several colors. I’ve been wearing “Bare” (pictured here) for a few weeks, and I’ve gotten countless compliments. It looks like an expensive manicure, but it goes on so easily that it’s friendly for everyone (including those who swear they can’t paint their own nails). A bottle usually retails for $20, but it’s currently available for $15 on Amazon!” — Alissa Harb, Managing Editor
Linen Ottoman Cover
“I have a large, white ottoman that my cat has destroyed, but I didn’t want to get rid of it. This custom linen cover is gorgeous (I did the melange green color!) and of fantastic quality. It also came with a free linen dish towel. I love it!” — Bailey Torkelson, Marketing Manager
Oat Milk Body Lotion
“The Cosmetic Market in Nashville sells this oat milk lotion by Archipelago Botanicals that is incredible. It’s lightweight, silky, and it smells SO good.” — Hailey Cunningham, Account Executive
Focus Friend
“In this free app, you name a little bean character, and while you focus or don’t use your phone for your chosen amount of time, it knits things like socks and sweaters (pro version). Then you can redeem the knit wares for various things to decorate your bean’s room. It’s truly so cute. It gamifies getting off your phone. I have the free version, but there is even more you can do with small in-app purchases.” — Zoe Yarborough, Staff Writer
Potato Pancakes
“Hanukkah starts on Sunday evening, and while I wish that I were a master at making homemade latkes for my kids, these potato pancakes at Trader Joe’s are the BEST. They are part of our holiday tradition every year. (And you need to stock up early because they do sell out!).” — Sarah Finklea, Sales Operations Manager
Unplugged: Adventures from MTV to Timbuktu
“You may not know the name Tom Freston, but if you were part of the MTV generation, you need to read this book. It follows Freston’s wild travel adventures prior to his start with MTV, plus a ton of behind-the-scenes golden nuggets from the early days of the legendary music video channel. There are some great life lessons in there, too! The MTV stuff is the reason to read the book, though. I was instantly taken back to my childhood living room, watching Duran Duran videos around our big screen TV, and dancing with my friends! That alone makes this read priceless!” — Melissa Thompson, Account Executive
Love Your Skin Again?
“This duo has given me the best skin, especially in these dry, cool months. I apply the NCS Sheer Peptide first, and then layer on the Oliver Midy Eclat Anti-Aging Face Oil. I can break out easily and have dry skin, but this duo has become my powerhouse. The results accumulate over time, but you’ll also notice instant improvements. When I put them on, it’s like I have my skin ‘back.’ And that feeling lasts all day. Even without makeup, my skin looks healthier than it has in years. I apply this duo morning and night, and always within a few minutes of getting out of the shower/washing my face.” — Liza Graves, StyleBlueprint Founder & CEO
Saddleback Leather Portfolio
“Everything Saddleback produces is top quality. They also have the best tagline for a company ever: ‘They’ll fight over it when you are dead.'” — Jay Graves, StyleBlueprint COO
