It’s holiday time! Whether you need a last-minute stocking stuffer, host gift ideas, or something extra under the tree, we share a few favorites to help make the holidays a little less stressful.
Sensory Stocking Stuffer for Kids (and parents)
Sensory play is important because it helps build nerve connections in the brain, supporting cognitive development and skills like problem-solving and creativity. From the mix, glitter, beads and more, Crayola Goo Can (1ct) all under $5 and includes one pack of Goo, one Mix’in, one Ultra Clean Washable Marker, and a Stir Stick for immediate creative play. These all-in-one kits let kids mix, decorate, and personalize slime that they make from scratch. Simply mix the powder with water and add fun mix em’s for texture and play. From glitter and beads to markers, our kids loved customizing their own slime.
If you’re looking for a gift under the tree, Crayola also has the All in One Sensory Stations featuring Galaxy or Unicorn-themed kits. Each comes with everything needed including powder, mix-ins, four containers and even a space to mix and create. Don’t worry moms, they are designed for less mess and to maximize the fun. Crayola Goo is made with a special formula that won’t stick on clothes or hands. It is also safe, non-toxic and whether you’re into unicorns, fantasy, space, or beyond, these sets will provide hours of creative fun.

Stocking Stuffers that HIT a Homerun
We love giving gifts that are practical and that can even inspire an upcoming season. For all things softball and baseball, Eastonhas lots of great options. One of the things that can be fun is to give a stocking stuffer that alludes to the gift under the tree. Batting gloves are something that we need to refresh almost every season and Easton has some great batting gloves that coordinate with their bat lines. The Walk-Off Ethos series batting gloves feature reinforced double-layer full grain leather palm that provides optimal durability and exceptional tackiness for better grip. Plus the specially designed Lycra® back-of-hand, fused with Structured-Flex Silicone provide an ideal fit and feel and also coordinate with their bat lines.

One of the reasons we love Easton bats is that they not only have fun designs, but they have innovative technology that is literally changing the game. Easton’s Dub baseball bat features Easton’s Double Barrel technology. The Dub has the lowest barrel compression of any USSSA bat, leading to increased barrel flex and elite performance across the entire length of the barrel. The Dub features a two-piece composite construction that maximizes barrel flex while keeping vibration to a minimum.
For the fastpitch softball players, Easton Ghost Double Barrel Fastpitch Bat is an iconic bat that has changed the landscape of fastpitch softball forever. The patented Double Barrel construction remains the star of the show with the Ghost OG. It has been refined to include a massive sweet spot that still carries the best pop, feel and sound. Additionally, its Sonic Comp technology gives this bat the best-performing composite, increasing its durability and creating that unmistakable Easton Ghost sound. We can’t forget about the ConneXion technology that gives this two-piece bat the best feel in the game by eliminating vibration and maximizing energy transfer.
YOU’RE THE BOMB
We love pairing MUSEE Bath items with fun notes for stocking stuffers. Their bath balms, soaks, soaps and shower steamers come in a holiday line as well. From Santa, Nutcracker and a Reindeer to the Musee Bath Balms are a big hit with the kids and for the adults, the Peppermint & Rosemary Shower Steamers are a great option. We love all of the different sets that Musee has like Visions of Sugarplums which includes a bath balm, eye mask and pillow case to Apres Ski which has a bath balm and pair of socks. These all make great stocking stuffers or gifts. We also love that the packaging is so fun it doesn’t require wrapping.
Not only are their bath balms handmade in the USA with ethically sourced, natural ingredients, their bath balms are cruelty-free, paraben-free and sulfate-free and safe for all skin types. We also love that they are committed to restoring lives by providing work for vulnerable people in their community. The products are handmade in Mississippi by women who are in recovery from substance abuse, domestic violence and incarceration. Musee partners with a half-way house called Crossroads. When women reach their final stage of recovery at Crossroads, they are offered a job at Musee. Crossroads provides counseling and life coach classes on the Musee campus, free of charge
