I know Christmas is just next week. If you are in need of some last minute gift ideas, this is the article for you. I've rounded up some simple stylist stocking stuffer ideas for those of you working on that shopping list! I've organized it into a few categories: The Zen Athlete, The Beauty Lover, For the Kids and For the Homebody.
The Zen Athlete
This grouping of items are perfect for the athlete, yoga lover or runner in your life. These items are functional, helpful and stylish. Every runner needs a good pair of socks. Instead of your typical pair of boring socks, pick up a pair of Hot Sox. These are fun fashion socks that offer a wide array of novelty on trend socks for both men and women. Inspired by pop culture, art, travel and art - rocking these socks on a run will add some fun to any job. Hot Sox launched in New York City in 1971 with a collection of silkscreened bright opaque socks and novelty hosiery was born. Inspired by the hot pants trend, Hot Sox determined stylish socks were the logical next step for a generation that embraced fun fashion. Though bellbottoms, 8-tracks, and lava lamps faded, Hot Sox has continued to grow due to exceptional quality and on trend design.
If you haven't heard of The Grommet, make sure you stop by their site for an amazing gift shopping experience! The Grommet is a product launch platform. This means they find unique, undiscovered products and help them succeed. Their goal is to level the playing field so the best companies can win. Recently, Ace Hardware acquired a majority stake in the company and they are truly vamping up the growth! Here are a few selects from their holiday catalog that are great for the zen athletes. If you want everything before the 25th - make sure you place your order by Dec. 20th at Midnight and select next day shipping. Fit Kicks is an athleisure brand that designs active lifestyle footwear. These shoes have Flex Formsole technology will become your new favorite exercise shoes – your new favorite everything shoes! The soft stretchy upper is form-fitting and comfortable. It features a protective toe guard to prevent excess wear points and an elastic strap for grip and fashion.
Safety while running is definitely an important thing. Some people choose to not run with their phones and the Geko GPS Connected Safety Whistle is a gift idea that keeps on giving. Activating this emergency tracker is as easy as blowing a whistle or pushing a button. Do either to call, text, and send emails to your trusted contacts in an emergency or if you’re otherwise feeling unsafe. Your exact location is sent every two to three minutes until you deactivate the alert with an all-clear message. It’s a low-profile way to feel safe, whether you’re out at night or as a just-in-case precaution.
The Guardian Bell is another thoughtful gift that is a great addition to any meditation process or yoga practice. With Guardian® Bells, you can give the gift of good fortune. Maker Adam Hizme, a second-generation jeweler, creates these handsome pewter bells in Arizona for the purpose of bestowing good luck upon their recipients. The use of bells as a channel for positive energy dates back to antiquity. Across cultures, continents, and religions, bells have been rung to banish evil spirits at ceremonies, funerals, and even in everyday life. It’s considered good feng shui to have a bell on your door, which acts as a beacon for welcome news and prevents bad energy from entering. On the other end of the spectrum, many serious bikers attach bells to the bottom of their rides—a decades-old custom believed to ward off mishaps and mechanical failures.
The Beauty Lover
For the beauty lover, all you need is some great products that focus on self care for a thoughtful stocking stuffer set.

Queen Helene Volcanic Ash Masque is a great self care product to add to the stocking stuffer list for the beauty lover. This skin-detoxifying facial masque harnesses the purifying power of Volcanic Ash (also known as Bentonite) to deeply clean skin.

For The Kids
If you are looking for something for the kids - books are a wonderful gift! Especially the type that take you on an adventure.

In the book you can take flight with Robin as she travels throughout the USA. Fly over towering skyscrapers and across gigantic bridges and historic landmarks.
