Small gifts, also known as Stocking Stuffers, are a thoughtful way to show appreciation to everyone in your life—especially when it’s something they’ll love. The best part is you don’t have to spend a lot to share the gift-giving cheer. So, if you’re searching for creative ideas for small gifts to stuff those stockings with glee, you’ve come to the right place!

Stocking Stuffers for Makeup Artists

These must-have tools are something that all makeup artists need so while practical, they are sure to be a hit. Alcone Company Metal Makeup Spatula has many uses such as helping to maintain a sanitary kit, mixing products, and sculpting special effects. Another item makeup artists never have too much of is empty palettes. Vueset Bella is an adorable palm-sized one with 16 sections for holding concealer, lipstick, SFX colors, or whatever they desire. Like all of the Vueset Mini Palettes, it can be attached to the Mini Palette Ring using the Mini Palette Connectors.

Small Special FX Gifts

Never underestimate the hours of fun that discoloring the teeth can bring! Fleet Street Pegworks Tooth Lacquer Palette 1 has five of the most popular tooth effects colors for creating a variety of character looks—a must-have for any SFX kit. Another great stocking stuffer idea is the Dick Smith Brush Set which includes 6 brushes designed for working with special effects materials.

Small Skincare Gifts

Give the gift of glowing skin with Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré in the travel size. This iconic moisturizer provides instant hydration to dry winter skin and makes an excellent primer before makeup. B3 Balm Beard Oil contains a blend of Argan, Squalane, Sandalwood, and other oils to soften and condition facial hair while nourishing the skin underneath to keep it from getting dry and itchy, especially in the winter months. Your bearded giftee will surely thank you!

Stocking Stuffers That Shine

Nothing shines more fabulously than the gift of lip gloss, but equally important is comfortability. Dose of Colors Stay Glossy Lip Gloss comes in 11 beautiful nude tones in a smooth, non-sticky formula that feels as great as it looks. There’s also the Ben Nye Lip Gloss Wheel with 6 sheer moisturizing glosses that can be used “as is” or blended together for a truly customized sheen.

Stocking Stuffers That Sparkle

How about giving the gift of dazzle? Danessa Myricks Infinite Chrome Flakes are little pots jam-packed with high-impact, multi-chrome toppers for tapping over bare lids or layering over eyeshadow. We also love Lemonhead SpaceJam Ultra Luxe Glitter Balm in Curtain Call. This ruby red glitter mix can be used on the face, hair, and body and is extra fabulous tapped over a gorgeous red lip for sparkling holiday glamour. It’s also an Alcone Company exclusive!
