While stocking stuffers have historically been pretty kitschy, we’ve leaned into the concept of little luxuries over the past few years. Instead of piling their stockings full of junk, why not use the opportunity to kickstart healthier habits? Revamp their holiday season with the delicious and gorgeous brands we’ve deemed our favorite unconventional stocking stuffers. They’re sure to be some of their favorite gifts this season – and they’ll enjoy them well into the new year.
The new year is an ideal time to up your supplement regimen – and there are a lot of options to choose from. We love GEM because it’s made with – wait for it – whole food ingredients. GEM enthusiasts have experienced everything from increased energy to improved digestion, reduced bloating, radiant skin, and faster-growing hair and nails thanks to the 20 essential vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients packed into this bite-sized wonder. And did we mention it’s crafted by an in-house pastry chef?

Kourtney Kardashian Barker doesn’t mess around when it comes to her vitamin line: This daily digestive gummy contains a patented probiotic, Lactospore®, and a clinically-studied probiotic, DE111®, in addition to XOS, a non-GMO plant fiber that feeds and flourishes the good bacteria in your gut. The holidays can be tough on tummies – and this gummy is the move for our sensitive stomach girlies. We also love that it contains zero artificial sweeteners, coloring, high fructose corn syrup, gelatin and is completely vegan.

Optimizing sleep is a huge focus for many in the new year, and with over 3,000 five-star reviews, this popular nighttime blend is our recommendation for better z’s. Our editors have seen noticeable improvements in their sleep scores thanks to Beam, and in a clinical study, 93% of people reported Dream helped them get a more restful night’s sleep, and 93% woke up feeling more refreshed. That’s thanks to ingredients like magnesium, reishi, L-theanine, melatonin, and nano hemp, which work together for easier nights and perkier mornings.

If they’re intent on cutting back on caffeine (or if you’re intent on them cutting back caffeine), meet our #1 pick. MUD\WTR offers a steady and sustained energy boost without the jitters commonly associated with coffee. It’s made with natural energy and focus-enhancing ingredients like lion's mane, cordyceps, and reishi mushrooms to promote mental clarity and focus throughout the day – without the infamous coffee crash. It’s also incredibly delicious and tastes like a blend between chai and hot cocoa – yum.

We’ve been Comrad fans for a long time, and we’ve given them as gifts more times than we can count. They’re fan favorites every time. These socks gently squeeze the legs to promote blood flow back towards the heart, offering better overall blood circulation and sweet relief from daily aches. Whether your giftee is pregnant, an athlete, or sits at a desk all day, they’re sure to benefit from these bad boys.
