Finding affordable stocking stuffers and small gifts can be a considerable challenge, but a few really wonderful items came across my desk that I think are worthy of mention.

Patchology Soothe Flashmasque ($21.00-$26.99 for 4 from Nordstrom Rack and Amazon): This sheet face mask is formulated for stressed, red and irritated skin, it calms and soothes the skin leaving it radiant and revitalized. Ingredients such as Aloe vera and cotton seed extract were selected because they possess natural anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe and calm redness. Schisandra berry de-stresses skin and adds moisture for plump glowing skin. Since this is a 4-pack, it can easily be divided between gift recipients.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua/Eau), Butylene Glycol, Methylpropanediol, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Trehalose, Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Seed Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Glycereth-26, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Arginine, Carbomer, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Decyl Glucoside, Allantoin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Propylene Glycol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Pvm/Ma Copolymer, Disodium Edta, Sodium Hyaluronate, Betaine, Taurine, Inositol, Trideceth-6, Cyanocobalamin, Fragrance (Parfum).

They work wonders overnight, and they couldn't be easier to use.

The true story about this incredible three-legged rescue dog, who regains his ability to run, will educate and inspire children of all ages, and touch their hearts.

I can think of no better stocking stuffer than comfy no-show socks, and Sheec Socks (starting at $9.00 from Sheec Socks) has a wide selection for women, men and youth. Sheec is a wonderful sock company based out of NYC, and rather than a single style of socks to be used for all types of shoes, they brilliantly conceived of no-show socks for every possible type of shoe style. They make socks for sneakers, dress shoes (flats and heels), heels and slingback, for mules and clogs and for boots.

They use a variety of materials from Merino Wool, Fleece, Modal and Nylon & Cotton. Additionally, they have a Sheec Socks Quiz to help you select the best socks to suit your needs (HERE). Their socks are very high quality, and this startup brand is absolutely worthy of your attention.
