Just because she is an adult that doesn’t mean that she shouldn’t have a stocking above the fireplace. If you aren’t going to do a stocking stuffer you can always do a vase or cute gift bag/sack.
Here are 10 stocking stuffer ideas for her.
This post includes affiliate links.
1. Game of Phones – This card game requires a group of friends or family members with cell phones. Hours and hours of fun for her next girls night in.
2. Avon Care Silicone Glove Holiday Hand Cream – colder months mean dry skin. These mini hand creams are the perfect size to fit in her purse or keep at her desk.
3. Natico Decision Maker and Paper Weight – It is sort of like the Magic 8 Ball for grown-ups.
4. A pack of her favorite pens or paint brushes. I personally love Pilot G2 Gel Ink Pens in Fine Point.
5. Purse Light with Automatic Sensor – This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Yes I’m a dork, but that is besides the point. This light senses when something is coming towards it (your hand) and turns on so you can see deep down in the crowded purse of yours. Super cool.
6. Crazy pairs of socks from SockPanda – If she is a lover of crazy socks gift her a monthly subscription.
7. A gift pack of her favorite tea or coffee flavors.
8. A travel charger for her phone so that she can keep it charged during all her trips.
9. Passport cover – for the travelling woman.
10. Gift Cards – So many options to give – Visa Gift Card’s, Sephora Gift Cards, MAC Gift Cards, Amazon Gift Cards, Starbuck’s Gift Cards and more. Think of her favorite place(s) to shop and gift her with the power to buy what she wants!

I used to love getting gift sets when I was younger.
My grandparents would usually buy us makeup or nail polish sets and as we got older we would were upgraded to bath and body sets – with scented body wash or bubble bath, lotion and a cute wash cloth. Here are some of my favorite gift sets that I have been eyeing lately.
Beauty & Makeup Gift Sets
mark. Nailed It Gift Set.
Includes four bottles: one base coat, two festive polishes, and one top coat.
I am absolutely in love with nail polish. Anyone that knows me, knows that I have an obsession with having every color ever available. This gift set is so pretty and perfect for the holidays. It can be worn to holiday parties and long after as well. I love that it includes a base coat and top coat!
Includes: 8 of Kat Von D’s best selling Mini Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks in Plath (deep russet red), Santa Sangre (poison apple), Mother (dusty mauve pink), Lovesick (mauve nude), Backstage Bambi (vivid hot pink), L.U.V. (rich violet), New! Roxy (bright grape), Echo (satin navy blue).
These liquid lipstick colors are so gorgeous. I wouldn’t even know how to pick which color to wear!
The colors in this kit are colors I would normally purchase separately so I love that they all come together in one package. The brush looks like it is good quality and I think that it would create some beautiful, bold looks.

I received a jar of Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia at a discounted price in exchange for an honest review. Product ingredients and directions are from the company, however, my experience and commentary is my own.
Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia benefits:
– Reveals softer smoother skin
– Reduces fine lines
– Locks in skins moisture
– Boosts collagen production
– Increases skin radiance
My Experience
I used the Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia on the dry patches that I get on my face and it did make those areas seem fuller/plumper than usual and my skin looked smoother as well.
What I liked about the mask was that it wasn’t too heavy and it was a cool golden color which was totally unexpected. It has almost a custard consistency and you can use just a little or a lot depending on how much you need. I also liked that it wasn’t oily or greasy feeling on the skin as a lot of moisturizing or hydrating products are.
The mask also has a pleasant scent and as noted on the jar – there was a tingling sensation. It was more of a cooling feeling. After wiping it off with a damp, warm cloth my skin instantly felt smoother. Even though it is marketed for facial skin, I even tried it on my elbows to see what would happen and again – smoother skin was the result.
Ingredient List and benefits
– Silk Protein Amino Acid Blend: These natural miracles increase moisture content and help in the production of collagen and elastin which decreases the appearance of visible lines.
– Botanical Hyaluronic Acid: Penetrates deep into the skin to secure moisture and plump skin from within.
– Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil: An anti-aging wonder berry that results in fewer fine lines, diminished sun spots, more even skin tone, and firmer more supple skin.
– Japanese Green Tea: Contains catechins that provide anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-irritant effects to the skin.
– Aloe Vera: This botanical moisturizers skin and fight aging by improving skin firmness.
Directions for using Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask:
Apply to face avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 15-30 minutes. A slight tingling sensation is normal. Use a damp cloth and warm water to remove.
I have used several of Valentia’s products and have yet to be disappointed with the quality and results that I have had with them. Their Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask is no different.

Are you tired of of your skin looking tired? Well I sure am. What this means is I am always on the lookout for great products that will take my skin to another level. My skin has aged fairly well, however, there are still problems that I have which I know I can work on if I choose the right products. Here is another product that I have added to my skincare routine that I am loving right now.
Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer
I was given a bottle of Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer from lovely people at Valentia in exchange for an honest review. All comments are my own. This review is Powered by BrandBacker
From the brand: Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer is a lightweight fast absorbing cream that illuminates skin while providing all-day hydration.
According to Valentia their Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer will:
– Lighten dark spots
– Restore skin radiance
– Even skin tone
– Diminish fine lines
– Provide all-day hydration
Why I wanted to try Valentia’s Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer:
– I have dark spots in certain areas of my face
– I want my skin to look more radiant and less dull
– I have some fine lines on my face (crows feet and smile lines)
Key Ingredients in Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer:
– Botanical Hyaluronic Acid: Floods skin with moisture, supports skin elasticity, and plumps skin from within.
– Kojic Acid: Controls melanin production and prevents dark spots.
– Safflower Oil: Repairs skin’s natural moisture barrier and provide superior skin protection.
– Shea Butter: Infuses skin with a myriad of vitamins and nutrients for superior skin hydration and nourishment.
– Ginseng: Boosts skin firming collagen, fights wrinkles, and gives the skin a brighter and more energized look.
What I loved about Valentia’s Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer:
– The scent was pleasant without being overwhelming. Some products tend to have a very strong scent and can even make me feel ill. The Pure Glow Moisturizer had a very nice scent to it.
– It absorbed quickly. I am a busy woman and sometimes I have to rush through my skincare routine. The easier something gets absorbed into my skin the easier it makes it sometimes.
– My skin felt amazing. The first time using it my skin felt super soft and supple. No yucky residue and I just wanted to touch my face. lol
– Dark patches faded. I can really see some of the dark patches on my face fading.
– Fine lines around my mouth evened out a bit. I have had smile lines for awhile and this moisturizer smoothed them out.
Overall I really enjoyed being able to try Valentia’s Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer. I was a little worried because I prefer lotions over moisturizers, however, the product was light and not too heavy for everyday use. I do feel that my skin looked less dull and brighter than normal after several uses. It also sat well under my makeup which was a big bonus.
Of course, with all skincare products what works for me may not work for you but I hope that you enjoyed this review about this particular product. Valentia has several other products that may work well with you and your skincare needs as well.
