We are rounding out my 2026 Holiday Gift Guides with Stocking Stuffers and Last Minute Gifts! If you have one more person on your list or need a last-minute gift then I’ve got you covered. You can also scroll through my other gift guides to get inspired for that person you still need to shop for. I have all of them linked below or you can find them in my nav bar. I also have a list of Special Offers below and a Favorite Things Gift Exchange list that might make shopping so much easier (and more affordable).
One of my favorite deals is 25% off Tommy John site-wide with code TANYA25. They have amazingly soft loungewear, pajamas, and underwear. Both Pete and I love their products. It’s a great last-minute gift idea. I’ve also included shipping dates below so you can make sure your gift arrives on time. Happy shopping!
Favorite Things Gift Exchange Ideas
Before we get started, my dear friend Paige Mc. hosts a lovely Christmas Brunch and Favorite Things gift exchange every December. It’s my favorite holiday event to attend. You wrap and bring three identical gifts, draw names and leave with three gifts. No stealing – just exchanging. Minimum spend is $30. When your name is called, you get up and present your “favorite thing” gift to the group as the three people open your gift. I thought might be helpful to see what gifts were purchased and exchanged last year. I always leave this event and order some fun gifts.
Karen Adams Boxed Desk Calendar from Paper Affair (I get one each year and it sits in my office)
Trish McEvoy Sexy 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk Body Sponge Duo
Kuby’s chicken salad, jalapeno pimento cheese, horseradish pickles, Firehook crackers, French Home Laguiole spreaders from Kuby’s (This was my Mom’s favorite store and restaurant. It’s in Snider Plaza and still where I buy all my German items. It’s also the best meat deli!)
Roller Rabbit Makeup Bag, Rosebud Salve Lip Balm, clip-on LED book light
Rebecca Gardner “A Screaming Blast” book
Guitar string necklace from Nashville gift shop (trip), Mi Cocina gift card
Boxed Calendar, Texas themed (Go Texan store, State Fair of Texas)
Tea Forte Tea over Ice Pitcher Set, with tea
Pharmagel Eye Roller Set, KareCo Mini Tangle Buster, Pharmagel Lip Recovery
Rowenta Pure Pop Portable Steamer (great for travel)
St. Michael’s Woman’s Exchange holiday plate set, bubbly, 24-month aged parmesan, strawberry honey (this is a favorite local store in Dallas located in Highland Park Village; excellent gift wrap department)
Mahjong travel set from China and rack
Corona Gardening Clippers – gardening and pruning
Ten Thousand Waves Teapot set, Harney & Sons Decaf Cinnamon Tea

Best Retailers For Last Minute Shopping
Before I get to the gift guide I wanted to share some stores to make last-minute shopping easier. If you need something right away, you can buy and do curbside pick-up at Nordstrom, Apple, Anthropologie, Target, LOFT, Ann Taylor, Home Depot, Macy’s, Walmart and World Market. Also, if you are in the Dallas- Fort Worth metroplex, pop over to Nicholson-Hardie. They have some excellent gifts and lots of holiday decor.

Stocking Stuffers
Tortoise Mini Hairbrush – An everyday essential with a little personality. I love the print! Pair it with the claw clip or silk scrunchies for someone who enjoys her hair accessories.
Tortoiseshell Cowboy Hat Hair Clip – For pulling her hair back while getting ready, running errands, or heading out the door. I love the Texas twist!
lululemon Headband – A useful addition for the friend who loves a workout class or morning walk. The pale pink is such a pretty neutral to mix with her activewear.
Cowboy Boot Keychain – How cute is this little boot? A fun gift for your favorite Texas girl. Clip it onto keys or a tote bag for a pop of color.
Slip Silk Scrunchies – A little luxury she can use every day. The festive packaging makes these ready for gifting, and they pair perfectly with the hairbrush above.
Floral Luggage Tag – An easy way to add personality to a suitcase or weekend bag. Tuck one into the stocking of someone with a trip planned for the new year.
Leopard Jewelry Box – A pretty place to keep her favorite small pieces together. Gift it on its own or tuck a pair of earrings inside for an extra surprise.
Pink Cactus Socks – Because practical gifts can still be fun! The print is so cute, and they’re made out of a soft bamboo material!
Makeup Remover Towels – These luxury towels are made from 100% cotton and make such a useful beauty gift for home or travel. I use mine everyday! There are several embroidery options to choose from or you can even personalize them.
Pink Scalloped Magnet Frame – Add a favorite photo strip before gifting to make this one personal. I love the magnetic detail so they can easily display their photo booth images.
Touchland Hand Sanitizer Set – This is a cult favorite that everyone is loving these days. Give the full set or divide it among several stockings. It’s an easy way to check a few people off your list!
Whether you’re finishing up your shopping or just want a few extra ideas that feel thoughtful and elevated, these stocking stuffers are easy wins. They’re perfect on their own or paired with a handwritten note for a more personal touch.Shop all of my gift guides below to make sure you find the perfect gift for everyone on your list! How did we do this year? We curated 9 Gift Guides (all linked below) – WHEW!
