20 Stocking Stuffer Ideas

10 days til Christmas! Is everyone that celebrates, done their shopping?

I have to pick up a couple of things for our little Pomeraian Alfie, but other than that — I’m finished! I was chatting to my Mom on the phone the other day and we were chatting about stocking stuffer ideas, which got me thinking, I should share some of my ideas with you guys in case you’re a little stumped too.

I love receiving stuff I wouldn’t normally buy myself, sometimes they may be run of the mill things or little luxuries. Here’s a few of my favourite stocking stuffer ideas:

20-stocking-stuffer-ideas

  1. Terry’s orange chocolate — my favourite thing to get at the bottom of my stocking each year! Can you believe they’re hard to come by here in California? I bought one at World Market for The Guy this year, and haven’t seen them anywhere else.
  2. Bar earrings — I bought myself these earrings last week. Hoping they arrive before Christmas day :)
  3. Razors — Who really likes buying their own razors? I asked for some to be put in my stocking this year.
  4. Gum — Trident has this Candy Cane gum out this year. I don’t know if it’s US only, but it’s pretty tasty. Orbit gum in Sweet Mint  is also a huge fav.
  5. Mens fragrances —
  6. Fluffy socks — My favourite thing to give along with someone’s Christmas gift!
  7. Lush Dream Cream — I’ve raved about this before. It smells lemony, but it keeps your skin moisturized until the next day. It’s unreal, I love using it on my legs during the winter.
  8. Portable phone charger — I have a similar phone charger for when I’m out of the house. This has come in handy so many times!
  9. Fabric hair ties — It’s all I’ll ever use in my hair.
  10. Womens fragrance — BOSS MA VIE Pour Femme is the newest fragrance for women from BOSS Parfums. BOSS MA VIE Pour Femme was inspired by an element of today’s woman’s life that until now has gone unnoticed. It draws on the pleasure she feels when she chooses to step out of her day to day routine, slow down, loosen up and simply enjoy life’s moments. The fragrance captures the intimate essence of her independent spirit, releasing the indulgent and fulfilling sensation of simply savouring life – her life.
  11. Dry shampoo — Principess is my favourite, it’s a powder form and comes in two shades, I clearly have the brunette one :)
  12. Nail polish — spicing up  your nails with new Christmas polish, always fun! If you shop at Sephora, they have a 100 point perk for a Deborah Lippmann sparkly polish.
  13. Make up bag — I’ve been dying for a Prada make up bag for probably over 10 years. There’s a Prada outlet 45 minutes north of me that sells them 50% off. I’m thinking of spoiling myself in the new year.
  14. Marshmallow chocolate santas — If there’s any memory of my Mom at Christmas, it’s these chocolate marshmallow santas :)
  15. Flavoured Coffee — Limited edition coffee with peppermint, or egg nog – so good.
  16. Peppermint tea — Not the coffee drinker? Try some Celestial peppermint tea. It is amazing.
  17. philosophy hope in a jar — philosophy has the cutest packaging for Christmas. You can never go wrong with their hope in a jar moisturizer.
  18. Jo Malone perfume — Always on my Christmas wish list.
  19. Diptyque candle — Can’t go wrong with a little luxury during Christmas. One day I’ll own (and probably never burn) a Diptyque candle.
  20. Deodorant — A deodorant is always in my stocking. The coconut scent by Secret is my favourite at the moment.

What’s inside my desk?

White-desk-White-chairIt’s almost like a what’s in my purse blog post, but we’re getting to the nitty gritty and showing you what’s really in my desk. For the most part I try to keep it as clean and organized as I can. But usually I have notebooks, vitamins, pens, receipts, everything dumped out on top of the desk and it usually gets shoved into one of the many drawers in the desk when I want it cleared off asap.

I will always continue to have at least one junk drawer, because who can really keep that organized, all the time? Definitely not me.

whats-in-my-deskSo let’s take a peek shall we?

There’s five drawers to my Ikea alex drawer unit that I bought while we were living in Canada. I’m pleased with the amount of stuff it holds, and how convent it is.

drawer-1Top drawer is for quick access. Hand creams, notebooks I use on the daily, scissors, post it notes, everything else you see.

drawer-2Alright, this is the junk drawer I was referring to. Miscellaneous cables (mainly for charging my phone on the go), coin purses, business cards from networking, our mailing address stamp that I got on Etsy. Newfoundland Screech Coffee!

drawer-3Ah, one of my favourites. The nail drawer. The clear boxes I purchased from Daiso. One box is reserved solely for Dior nail polishes and they’re right up front. Second one is for the one’s I use on the regular (neutral nails, pinks and top coats). The one in the back has colours I rarely wear. Then I have my business cards buttons, nail polish remover, nail tools, more notebooks and a couple of bubble wrap envelopes.

drawer-4I store my cameras in here, along with cords and chargers. A few miscellaneous boxes, and wooden cutlery too.

drawer-5Last but not least, my stationary drawer! I’m a pen lover and stationary collector, and I love having options. I have a couple of pencil cases filled with markers, fine point gel pens, pencils, erasers. The rest is filled up with cards we received on our wedding day or wedding reception day along with my Fitbit box, and some fun coloured staples.

Do you have a desk with drawers? What do you keep in it?

How organized/cluttered is your work space?

Pom Friday . 4

Didn’t I marry a hunk? 11 months into our marriage and we finally sent off our last few thank-you card’s in the mail.

Today I’m taking you at a look back to Mothers Day in May, when The Guy, Alfie and I took off to San Francisco to take our Thank You card pictures. We set up a tripod, snapped a few hundred photos, and I did the rest. Can I tell you how annoying and difficult it is, to print your own cards on a nice quality paper? Given that I’m a Graphic Designer, I didn’t want anyone else’s designs on our cards but my own. I ordered through one site, uploaded the artwork myself, once I received the cards I noticed that the paper quality was sub par. They got sent back, we got refunded and I ended up printing them at Staples back when we were home in Newfoundland this summer.

So here we are with the fourth installation of Pomeranian Friday’s with Alfie. Let’s call this one: Alfie does San Francisco.Alfie-does-San-Francisco-4
