Help for the Men: Five Awesome Stocking Stuffers for the Ladies {Sponsored Giveaway}

Last night I made a comment to my husband about how sad my stocking looked compared to everyone else’s. I even went so far as to drop a hint, asking if I had really been that bad this year. As it is every year, everyone else’s stocking is nice and full because I am finished shopping … but my own stocking is still virtually empty, and I’m almost expecting to see a lump of coal in it!

I am pretty sure most men loathe holiday shopping as much as a woman loathes getting a pap smear. It’s one of those things that just has to get done, and most men put it off until the last minute. I figured I’d help them along and give them a little guide to at least help stuff your stocking with some nice goodies.

So, fellow moms, feel free to forward or share this with your significant other as a hint to fill up your stocking in a matter of minutes and in a one stop shop!

Confession:  I love things that make me feel pretty, especially things like spa treatments and lotions. Every year for Christmas, I’m gifted by some very generous and kind people with a Paris Parker Aveda gift card that I can use across the 9 locations in the metro New Orleans Area. Every year, I use up EVERY LAST PENNY of that gift card because it is a gift that keeps on giving! I am a huge fan of Aveda products, and I always have some of their items on my Christmas Wish List.

Men: Follow This List And You Can’t Go Wrong!

h13_0052_r2So guys, here you go. If your wife forwarded you this post to help you out, I’ve got you covered: here are some awesome stocking stuffers for the lady in your life that will likely bring a smile to her face (and maybe a little fun for you … wink, wink).

Aveda Hand Relief Lotion :: This lotion is a MUST HAVE for any mother, especially those who change diapers frequently and wind up washing their hands a million times a day. It smells great and it’s thick, yet its non-greasy formula heals dry, chapped hands in no time. Every night I use this lotion and I wake up with soft hands again. You can also get it in a gift set with the Foot Relief which is also pretty awesome!

Rosemary Mint Body Wash :: I fell in love with this after my first time having services at Aveda. They keep it in the steam showers for when you finish up a spa treatment, and it is amazing. It’s great to use as a hand soap or a body wash and is light and refreshing with a perfect minty scent that isn’t too overpowering. The shampoo and conditioner are also an amazing clarifying treatment for hair that may be weighted down with hair products.

Nourish-Mint Renewing Lip Treatment :: Full of nutrients and vitamins, this lip treatment is excellent for hydrating lips before makeup or even as a stand alone. It is also great for treating chapped lips that will be super soft without the waxy texture of basic lip balms while having a light, minty flavor.

Custom Pure-Fumes :: Ranging in size from a small purse size atomizer to a full size bottle, you can have a custom blend of essential oils mixed to create a perfume scent for your special someone. An Aveda specialist will let you smell several blends to choose what works best for you. They also have pre-made scents to choose from. This is a great inexpensive option with a personalized touch!

Paris Parker Aveda Gift Cards/Packages :: Available in any denomination you choose, you can get an Aveda h13_0050_r3gift card to treat your lovely lady to products of her choosing, a manicure or pedicure, or as much as a day at the spa. Aveda’s holiday service gift catalog features ideas for every price point and can find something to fit your needs. I know several ladies who would love it if they were gifted with a Series Spa Package for the upcoming year (myself included)!
