Fun fact. I had no clue Ryan & I were doing stockings until I felt something crunchy in mine the other day. Whoops! I haven’t really been on my holiday shopping game due to graduation/packing/moving, but at least it’s easy to find little goodies to fill a stocking. For anyone out there who is doing some last minute shopping like me, I thought I’d share a few things that I included in Ryan’s stocking. And don’t worry, he has been instructed not to read this post so let’s keep this between us!
SOMETHING LOCAL
I’ve been trying to shop local these days and if you live in Charlotte, then you know that Paper Skyscraper is THE best place to find local and unique gifts. Ryan & I live uptown and love seeing the skyline outside our window, so I thought this kitchen towel would be a great addition to our kitchen.
SOMETHING TO WEAR
You can’t go wrong with a pair of socks- extra points if they’re funny or inappropriate. As soon as I spotted these “swing your thing” golf socks, I knew I had to get them for Ryan. They’re perfect gift for any golf connoisseur! (Bacon lovers… get these).
SOMETHING RANDOM
Cue… the head massager. Totally random but totally awesome. I’ve given these as gifts before and they never disappoint. Ryan loves a good head massage so this will make my life easier… plus we can both benefit from this gift!
SOMETHING EDIBLE
Throwing some edible goodies in a stocking is a given. I added some Chomps Snack Sticks to Ryan’s stocking because who doesn’t like beef jerky?! These little sticks will come in handy when hiking, traveling, or just when he needs a quick snack. They’re like a tastier and healthier Slim Jim made of non-GMO, grass-fed Angus beef. If you’re feeling lucky, you can enter here to win a stocking filled with $150 work of edible goodies!
Can we also talk about the fact that Christmas is only one week away?! I will be braving the SouthPark mall craziness tomorrow to squeeze in some shopping and then going to see Amy Schumer tomorrow night. Super excited about that because she is freaking hilarious and every time I go to a comedy show, I have a blast. Hope y’all have a fabulous weekend!!
I received Chomps Snack Sticks to sample from BrandBacker. All thoughts & opinions are my own.
Super cute and fun last minute gift ideas! Happy Friday!

Love these ideas!
The head massager is such a good idea and inappropriate socks always make for a good laugh. Nice finds!
Super cute ideas!
Those chomp sticks sound like the perfect gift! My boyfriend is all about that type of stuff, so I know he would just love it!
We love doing stockings! We only put a couple "nicer" items at our little Christmas at home for just the two of us because at home my mom makes everyone pick 5 things for everyone else's stockings so ours are always overflowing there! Love the head massager – Derek actually put that in mine one year and everyone had the best time trying it out!
This is such a great list. That head massager is heavenly, he will surely appreciate that! Hope he enjoys his goodies!!
Great ideas!! I'm braving the mall this weekend too and I'm more than a little nervous!
Such cute ideas! I especially love the idea for something local! Can't wait to hear what your something crunchy was in yours 🙂
