For all its clamor about being the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas can actually be quite stressful-there’s the increasingly unbearable traffic that has us on the road for two hours on end; the overcrowded shopping malls, and their corresponding parking lots; the stark lack of hours in the day, when you realize that you don’t have time to buy your parents Christmas gifts in between going to work and all the holiday get-togethers (why do you have so many friends??).
Okay, even just writing that gave me anxiety. But take a deep breath and relax–if you’re among the Christmas shopping procrastinators, we’ve got your back.
We spent some time scouring stores and market (online and otherwise) for the best stocking stuffers of the year. From makeup and accessories, watches to bags, here are some products we know will be sure hits come Christmas morning.
