7 Stocking Stuffer Ideas for the Holidays

It’s that time of year folks! As the festive season approaches, it's time to start thinking about those delightful little surprises we tuck into stockings. Whether you're filling stockings for family, friends, or even yourself (we won't tell!), we've got you covered. North 40 Outfitters has countless potential stocking stuffers, but I want to keep it simple by sharing our top seven stocking stuffer ideas that are sure to bring a smile to everyone's face. Let's jump right in!

1. Smith + Rogue Candles

While Smith + Rogue is best known for their innovative and sustainably-sourced Montana inspired clothing, they offer so much more!  One of our favorites is the Copper Mug Candles. There's something magical about the warm glow and comforting scent of a candle, especially during the holiday season. Scented candles make perfect stocking stuffers, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in any home.


The Smith + Rogue Copper Mug Candle is made with a 100% copper mug, made with 100% Natural Soy, and made in the USA by our friends in Arizona. This beauty includes a soy candle with a curated selection of thier craft scents nestled in a copper mug with a handle, and nicely packaged in a hand stamped Smith + Rogue box. The copper mugs can be cleaned and repurposed for kitchen essentials, succulent planters, or of course a perfect Moscow Mule camp mug.

 

2. Smith + Rogue Trig Bag

Named after the famous triangular “Trig Pillars” in the UK, trig bagging is a fun hiking activity embraced around the world.  Our Smith + Rogue Trig Bags are named after this fun adventure, but require considerably less walking.  These bags are fantastic for packing toiletries on your next flight, day trip, hike, or anywhere else that you need to keep a bunch of small items together and organized.


Complete with YKK zippers, a 50/50 tarpaulin and nylon fabric and nylon carrying strap, this trig bag will stand up to any adventure.  They even have a luxurious padded bottom to help protect expensive shavers (or your favorite toothpaste).  They also come in two sizes so you always have enough room, but never take up more space than you can spare.

3. Duke Cannon Bloody Knuckles

It’s winter in the Northwest which means cold, dry air.  Cold dry air means cold DRY hands, but not with some high quality hand repair balm from Duke Cannon!  Cracked hands are like living testaments to a person's hard work and ingenuity. And while hard working hands are to be celebrated, let's be honest; dry, cracked hands feel awful.  Made with lanoline, Bloody Knuckles Hand Repair will provide much-needed moisture without leaving the hands feeling sticky or greasy.

 

4. Montana Silversmith Heavenly Whispers Bracelet

Treat yourself!  True Montana style in a magnificent two-tone feather cuff. This silver and rose gold bracelet from Montana Silversmiths has antiqued rose gold feathers that glide in opposing directions connected by a bright silver open filigree of gently curving plumes. A lightly rippled designed edge of bright silver finish contains the overall design of this women's bracelet cuff.

5. Smith + Rogue Bronco Belt

You don’t get much more cowboy than the Great American, Bison.  Bison are tough, beautiful, and distinctly American just like the Bronco Belt from Smith + Rogue. The Bronco Belt is made from genuine glazed bison leather features a medium pull-up with rich undertones, hand painted feathered edge, a contrasting single stitch, lined with full grain leather, has a bullet tip, nickel brushed buckle, and a single leather keeper, and snap closure. Make sure to think about your belt sizing. For sizing reference, take your pant size and order two sizes up.

 

6. Duke Cannon Beard Oil

Wanna smell good, and feel good for fireside snuggles? Check out this bourbon-scented beard oil made with premium natural ingredients like apricot kernel, argan, and jojoba oils. Enhanced with genuine Buffalo Trace 90 proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.  Like with most Duke Cannon products, this Big Bourbon Beard Oil is made in the USA and a portion of proceeds go to benefit U.S. Veterans.


Don’t worry about overwhelming scents though,  It doesn't smell like you've had one too many; it has a woodsy, oak barrel scent that most folks find very appealing.  Your beard will be shiny, soft, and smell amazing with these natural oils, but still, bourbon makes everything better.
