26 Small Stocking Fillers Under $20 That Are Sure To Be Big Winners On Christmas Day

Christmas can be an expensive holiday to budget for.

We’ve already spent money on advent calendars and Christmas candles to get us into the festive spirit, and of course, we have to plan our Christmas nails in advance.

And that’s all before we’ve even started to buy for other people!

But not all gifts have to be big and expensive to be great.

Stocking fillers are a cheap and cheerful way to enjoy gift-giving without blowing the budget, and thanks to the smaller price tag you can stock up on more of them.

Plus, they’re a guilt-free way to gift a little something to yourself.

We’ve taken the liberty of stacking up a sizeable amount of small stocking fillers that are $20 or less. If you ask us, Christmas can’t come soon enough…

BodyBlendz Anti-bacterial Scrub & Mask

This multi-functional shower support item has proved time and time again why it just is the bump-busting way to go. Not only is it formulated with anti-bacterial ingredients but also anti-microbial ones as well, so those pesky bumps your nearest and dearest have been complaining of don’t stand a chance. Be sure to tell them that this pressie has come for the most caring of places… And to try it out before they give you an  unkind look.

Eye of Horus Velvet Lips in Bewitched Mulberry

Christmas season is the reason to pop on any red lip you’ve got. But especially a warming mulberry tone (because we’re going to sit in AC and pretend it’s snowing outside, okay?). This long-wearing formula is totally vegan and is infused with natural botanicals. Only the best for their lips (we won’t tell if it happens to make it into your stocking too).

Frank Body Coconut Coffee Scrub

Sure, we all know (and love) Frank Body’s OG coffee scrub. But what we love even more is the coconut addition. The vacation vibes we get from the sweet-smelling bag is enough to make us put our out-of-office signature on and find the nearest beach. The gentle exfoliating coffee grinds work hand-in-hand with nourishing essential oils like grapeseed and jojoba to buff away any unwanted bumps, plus the formula even works it’s magic on scarring.

Luna Bronze Self Tan Back Applicator

Stuff Face Moisturiser

Oh the ‘Website of Stuff’, how could we go past you? It’s blessedly full of ‘man-friendly’ beauty products (because we know they’re fussier than we are).
