Looking for something small to fill up those chimney stockings this season?

Our editors round up a selection of our favorite perennial items that won't break the bank. We ran the gamut from homemade etsy items, to the luxe of Borghese to compile striking items that are all bound to add glee to the holidays.

 Borghese B Gloss Lip Gloss.

Ultra rich and thick this gloss locks in moisture and lasts and lasts. Best of all the gloss also delivers a potent punch of vitamins A and E, plus Avocado oil, Jojoba oil and aloe vera.

$18.50 at www.borghese.com

Lucky Elephant Bracelets.

These leather wrap bracelets with stones, and pearls are perfect for stocking stuffers. Elephants with their trunk raised up are said to bring good luck and to have magical powers to take troubles away. Who doesn’t like a little luck? The pieces are made in the US and popular amongst brides as gifts for their bridesmaids.

From $35-$84

Nars Modern Love Palette #9950

We’re die-hard fans of Nars eyeshadow palettes and we’ve fallen extra hard for this international themed palette of earthy-but-exotic colors named after farflung cities. Nars’ staying power, slight shimmer and invitation to creativity makes this a knock-your-socks-off stocking stuffer.

Glam Print 

We confess, this one definitely won’t fit into a stocking, but it’s so cool and different, that we felt it was worth mentioning despite its largesse. Artist, Vincenzo Rizzo is offering high-quality prints (mounted to wood and ready-to-hang) of his original fashion-inspired paintings. They’re the perfect way to brighten up an apartment and a perpetual reminder of how much fun fashion can be. The 23"x16,2" size prints are $150 on Etsy.
