The Best Christmas Stocking Stuffers for Women: 9 Surprises That Will Knock Her Socks Off

Editor’s note: PaperCity’s counting down to the holidays with ultra-curated and distinctive gift guides.

Each Christmas, the shining, ribboned, bow-topped gifts under the tree get all the credit. The boxes come in all different sizes, but you know that whatever’s inside, it’s gonna be good. But the tree, while pretty lit, is not the only place for the surprises.

There’s another spot, staring you straight in the face.

That would be your Christmas stockings. That’s where the gift-giver can truly shine: packing a punch with a pint-sized present. The gift-giver proves they know the beloved recipient inside and out, and they can prove it without the big boxes, huge budget and bravado.

This year think outside the box when it comes to presents for the lovely lady in your life. Where she thinks she’ll get maybe a tube of lip gloss or a gift card, she’ll get something unexpected and unforgettable. Knock her socks off with her stocking.

PaperCity has got your back on this fresh take on gift-giving. We’ve picked out a slew of satisfying stocking stuffers, at a range of price points, all under $30 — perfectly stocking reasonable. There’s a bounty of beauty options for the stylish one in your life, and a few tantalizing choices for the techie.

This time around, don’t just put the stuff in stocking stuffing. Put the memorable stuff in.
