Stocking stuffers should be considered an art. Or maybe a sport? Either way, the smaller gifts that hang across the mantlepiece are often my favorite things to open on Christmas morning. They usually have an extra personal touch, offer something fun and meaningful, and can be immediately be put to good use. I remember waking up on Christmas Day, charging downstairs, and immediately grabbing all stockings and surrounding myself with their contents.
When I was little, stocking stuffers would include practical gifts like face wash and body lotion, delicious treats like chocolate and teriyaki turkey jerky (my favorite snack, haha!), and any other little knick knacks that were honestly probably just too small to wrap such as any custom photo keychains my parents got for us. Whether it was socks or a hot cocoa mix I'd been craving, I always loved whatever was in the stockings.
Now that I'm a bit older, though, I see stocking stuffers as an opportunity for the most heartfelt of gifts. Maybe a little bit more expensive than a Hershey's bar, but still reasonable enough to be able to include enough gifts to fill the stocking. I'm thinking something like this gorgeous Nixon watch that Krystal wears here - functional, sensible, but beautiful and unique. I gave my boyfriend a watch for Christmas a few years ago, and it's still one of his most treasured pieces. Currently, I'm debating gifting myself a Nixon watch (I love this tortoiseshell one), and maybe even one or two for my closest girlfriends.
I love finding little gifts that are both necessary and cute, like this Moscow mule mug (my drink of choice!) or these gorgeous zodiac journals. Check out more of my favorite stocking stuffer picks below.

Before filming today's video, I (briefly) explained to my boyfriend what I was filming that particular day in the studio.
Me: "You know, it's a haul video."
Him: "It's a WHAT video? What are you lifting in it?"
Me: "No, no, not haul as in, carrying. Haul as in what I've bought. My loot. My recent purchases."
Him: Blank stare.
Me: Continuing on... "and then I'm going to show each piece on to show the fit."
Him: Blank stare continues.
Me: "Alright then! I'm off to film my haul video!"
Him: "I still don't get it."
And without further adieu, I bring you my very first haul video -- confusing boyfriends since YouTube was created and hopefully entertaining you all in the process! For this particular video, I gathered a few of my favorite recent fall and winter purchases and styled each piece individually. For all product links and size references, hop over to my YouTube channel, where you'll find all the links and info you need! Hope you enjoy today's video and if you get the chance, I would really appreciate it if you would consider subscribing to my YouTube channel! I publish a new video every Friday, many times well before it ever makes it here on the blog!
