10 Stocking Stuffers For Everyone On Your List
Insider Health

Christmas is right around the corner, and it's time to start stuffing those stockings. But coming up with smaller items that everyone will love can be a challenge. Luckily, whether you're a strategic planner or a two-days-before buyer, I've come up with a list of 10 items that everyone on your list can appreciate in their stocking this holiday season.

1. Headphones.

Personally, I look forward to this every year. Headphones are a super easy stocking-stuffer because you can find them almost anywhere, in tons of different styles, for great prices. These are especially great gifts for the people in your life who are constantly losing or breaking their headphones. You can never have enough pairs; when your friend/relative has broken their last pair, they'll be glad you thought to get them a replacement for Christmas.

2. Gloves.

Christmas is the perfect time to bundle up. Warm weather essentials are great presents to give to almost anyone on your list, especially if you live in a colder climate. Thinking about traveling this break? Hitting the slopes with the family? Gloves and scarves are a great way to get everyone in your family ready for the snow in style.

3. Chargers.

Another thing that's always breaking, chargers are an absolute must for anyone with a technological device. So unless you're shopping for your Great Uncle who's been removed from the technological world for the last 20 years, this works for everyone. Pick up an extra USB cable, phone charger or battery pack for the people on your list who could totally use them.

4. Gift cards.

Now, this one needs a little bit of personalization, but is pretty much good for everyone. Gift cards are great for those moments when you don't quite know what to get someone, but you know what they'd like to get for themselves. With a little detective work, it's easy to find a few stores they love and let them have a fun shopping spree later in the year.

5. Hats.

Another great winter weather essential, hats and beanies are a great thing to stuff at the bottom of anyone's stocking. Plus, it's super easy to personalize them by finding hats that match your friend or relative's style, and in colors they'll love.

6. Kitchen gear.

My grandparents refer to this one as "the gift of Christmas," and for good reason. Kitchen gadgets are super easy to find and are crazy useful. Meat thermometers, spiralizers, and lemon zesters make great stocking additions. Plus you can get them for more than one member of the family, so each person has one for their place.

7. Candy.

Almost every year, my mom adds a few chocolate Santas to our stockings. Last year, she even got little maple syrups for each of us (they were from Buddy the Elf, of course). They're gone almost immediately, because we all have pretty sizable sweet tooths, but sweets are a great way to add a little something to a stocking. If you know someone's favorite candy, even better. Toss in a bag of their favorite and it's sure to be a hit.

8. Socks.

Now, most people think this is a super overrated stocking-stuffer, but I totally disagree. As one who has a drawer full of mismatched pairs of socks where one has little cupcakes and the other is pink and yellow striped, a few new pairs of actually matching socks are much appreciated. They're super easy to pick up, so they're ideal if you're running a little too close to the wire. And they work for almost every member of your friends and family! Who doesn't love dinosaur socks?

9. Speakers.

Similar to headphones, small speakers are a great option if you're looking to get someone on your list some gadgets. Little Bluetooth speakers are supper easy to find and are pretty affordable these days, as well. You can find them in a variety of sizes, styles and shapes -- perfect for whoever you need to tick off your list.

10. Lottery tickets.

My grandmother's personal favorite. While it's a long shot, adding in a lottery ticket or two to anyone's stocking is a fun little surprise. Who knows, you might get a much bigger present than you, or they, were ever expecting.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
