Stocking Stuffer Suggestions.

I always put off picking up stocking stuffers until the last minute. I mean, I plan to do it earlier when I am out shopping for everything else, but I never remember to. This year, I am trying to be a bit more creative and not just fill them up with candy and novelties.

There are some great goodies to be found to fill up a stocking. Take a look at a few of my faves I found this year - all in the beauty category, of course.
