I love Christmas time. It is seriously my favorite time of the year. The lights, decorations, and snow in my area of the world all make it feel so magical. One of my favorite things to do, and a tradition in my family, it to create the perfect stocking for the kids and for Aaron. So instead of doing a traditional “gift guide” this year for the holidays I decided to focus on stocking stuffers instead.
Often times though we tend to forget about ourselves during the holiday season. We are focused on finding the perfect gift for others, putting together the tastiest meals and decorating till our homes look like Santa’s freaking Village. I decided to put together a list of stocking stuffers for the busy mom so if your hubby or kids are asking you what you want send this list their way!
Some of these links contain affiliate links meaning that if you click it and make a purchase I may receive a small percentage. To see my full disclosures go HERE
1. Phone case
I love these Loopy phone cases. They are so easy to grab and go, easy to hold onto, and help prevent those inevitable drops! I also love Case App and their phone cases as well. These cases can by customized so you can literally create any case you want including one with pictures of your family!
Loopycases.com has so many more styles to chose from.
For the customized case check out Caseapp.com. Use my code THECHAOTICMOMMY20 to get 20% off your order before Christmas.
2. Headphones
I am always losing my headphones so I love getting new ones every year in my stocking. It is also a good idea to get the headphone adapter if your busy mom’s phone is an iPhone. The link to the adapter is HERE
Skull candy headphones are my all time favorite ones and can be purchased HERE and HERE
3. Coffee
Coffee is an absolute must in my stocking! Mama Java has the best ones here that make a great gift for any mom! Plus the names are super fun. Check out all they have to offer at mamajavacoffee.com. They have the best tasting coffee and also are now offering K-cups for the Keurig fans out there.
4. Tea
I also like tea at nighttime when I am trying to unwind. I love this one HERE and in the picture below
5. Water Bottle
For the hydration fans, a new water bottle is always nice. I love this one from Healthy Human. Check out all they have to offer at healthyhumanlife.com.
6. Chapstick
Mine favorite is this one from Vaseline.
7. FitBit or I-watch band
There are so many stylish ones available. Check these ones out HERE and HERE.
8. Bath bombs
Bath bombs are always nice because they make you smell good and your skin feel incredibly soft. You can find these ones for a bargain HERE.
9. Lotion
My skin is so dry in the winter and I absolutely need lotion. I love also having hand lotion to have in my bag on the go. Here are my favorites:
10. Gift card for a pedicure or massage
Shop local!! I have my fav pedicure place in town and my fav masseurs. You bet I’m going to drop hints to Aaron for this Christmas.
11. Nail polish and manicure kit
My favorite nail polish is ESSIE Nail polish and it never hurts to throw in a manicure kit like this one HERE.
12. Bottles of wine
I can’t be the only one who wishes for wine in their stocking? Am I?
13. Wine glass obviously to put the wine in
There are so many cute wine glasses out there now. Here are some that I found on amazon
14. Mittens
We live in Maine so yes mittens and winter gear in general is always a nice addition. The North Face makes a nice glove that you can use with a smart phone. Check it out at Macys.com.
15. Hat
Again, winter gear is nice to have in my home state. Plus pom hats are the cutest.
16. Travel Mug
It’s always nice to get a new travel coffee mug because let’s face it; they get lost or break. This shop on Etsy has the cutest travel mugs that you can even customize to make your own.
Check out this mama bear mug HERE
And this is probably wine mug HERE
This shop also has one of my favorite travel mugs pictured below.
So those are my top picks for stocking stuffers this holiday season! What are you most hoping for this Christmas?
A bottle or three of wine might be nice–oh and yeah a few dozen warm and fuzzy socks to keep my feet warm!!
Oh yes!! Fuzzy socks are absolutely amazing to have as well.
These are some really great ideas. I loved the socks, they are cute and look so comfortable.
Thank you! I want the wine socks and have dropped hints already.
Hi Danielle! These are some great ideas, and will definitely help me when shopping for some of my Mumma friends 🙂
Nice ideas! i am always happy with a new cup or glass as well cover my phone and on top of all a pretty drinking bottle!
It is the “that time” of the year. I would go for the travel mug no doubt 🙂
You have a great list there and coffee is something i like to get if for some of my coffee lover friends. I think it is such a wonderful idea. Going to check out some special coffee in mamajavacoffee.com.
Oh my, Holidays are coming and I have done nothing. Thank you for this idea. I will try looking for each stuff.
Coffee is definitely something I would love to get in my stocking 🙂 Also really like the phone case with the flowers <3_<3
Coffee, wine & Fitbit are my perfect gift ideas for me, just in case my husband is reading this, lol! Great list, this!
Headphone and coffee is my main requirement always. But are the products delivered in India?
I love the glasses. I haven’t seen those ones before and the idea of getting coffee. I would love that!
I really like it your ideas!
Congratulations!
We always got lip balm as kids, so that’s why I put it in my kids’ stockings! Plus, you can never have enough, right?
Those are really great suggestions for stocking stuffers and “smaller” holiday gifts. I like that you remind us to, of course, give wine with the wine glasses. 🙂
Looking through your list, I just can’t help myself but have to point out that I’m selling a double-wall insulated bottle via my company Happier Place… and my bottle fits an entire bottle of wine (and if it’s white wine, it can keep it fridge-cold): https://yourhappierplace.com/product/double-wall-vacuum-insulated-stainless-steel-bottle-750/
Thought you might appreciate knowing that. And no, I wasn’t leaving a comment just to tell you that. I’m genuinely inspired by your list.
Thank you!

These are all excellent stocking filler ideas! I’m not a mother, but I know many busy ones that would appreciate these as gifts!
These are really simple and basic things but who doesn’t love small gifts, right?!
These are all great and affordable stocking stuffers for moms! I love this list. 🙂
I always need chapstick! These are such great ideas. Water bottles are a great idea too – as a busy mom i’m always leaving mine in places and losing them!
Yes for the tea please! I am a busy mom and need to be alert! I’d say no to Vaseline though, to much harmful chemicals in that one!
Some great ideas here, would love to find some of these in my stocking
These are great stocking stuffers. Cute drinking glasses and cell phone cases are great ideas.
Love these ideas- great post! I want all of these. Thanks!
I love the idea of Blueberry Tea. Wouldnt mind that in my stocking filler or any time of the year. Can see myself drinking a hot cup of this whilst outside in the snowy regions of Finland 😀
Tea is a great one. You can never have too much tea! Although I’m not a mum, I have a tea stash at my desk and would love more as a present!
