HOW TO CURATE THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS STOCKING

With the big day just around the corner now’s a great time to start putting together some Christmas stockings for your loved ones. Whatever age they are, a stocking full of surprises is something everyone can look forward to opening on Christmas morning. For us, a perfectly curated one begins with these categories that can be completely tailored to their personality and interests. 

SOMETHING PAMPERING

As lovers of skincare, it’s no wonder that we tend to center our stocking around a great beauty or grooming treat. Our Aromatic Repair & Brighten Hand Cream is always a welcome addition, especially at this time of year when hands need a little more care than usual.

SOMETHING FUN

From inside jokes to card games and little gadgets, add something that will give them a chuckle when they dive into their stocking. Go for something small and inexpensive on this so that you can dedicate more budget to little luxuries.

SOMETHING SWEET

Literally. Whether it’s all about chocolate coins or they’re more of a jelly sweets kind of person, including their favourite treats always goes down well. Or, for something healthy (and  traditional) you can opt for some clementines or other fruit they love. If they don’t have a sweet tooth at all you could always go for something savoury like cheeses or a mini of their favourite tipple.

SOMETHING USEFUL

For lots of us, stockings have been a brilliant source of useful goodies like hair ties and notebooks over the years. We like to add one or two of our handy Bamboo Muslins as a helpful way to enhance their cleansing routine.

SOMETHING MEANINGFUL

Think photos, handwritten cards, souvenirs from places you’ve been together and other unique additions. Giving their stocking a personal touch is the perfect way to make it truly thoughtful.
