Stocking Stuffers

Hello friend,

Whether you are playing Santa or making a list for him (or her), we have some ideas for stocking stuffers that will make your holidays that much merrier. As you will see, sometimes the smallest items make the biggest impact. If stockings are a tradition in your family or friend group, these women-owned finds may just be the highlight of the holidays. 

We turn to a brand known for classic style for an accessory that is best wrapped; we share a soap that’s so stylish you may not want to use it (then again, when you learn what makes it special, you will want to); we’ve got something groovy for the Pickleballer in your life; we introduce you to a woman entrepreneur who sources hard to find food items and she shares some delicious stocking stuffer ideas; and if stationary is your jam, this brand maybe growing by leaps and bounds, but its founder still draws and paints every design in the line.  

We are thrilled to partner with Helprr.ai to bring you this issue of Genuinely Stellar. The holidays can be a difficult time for some people. Helprr is the mental and emotional health partner that helps you take control of your mental health journey. 

Last but not least, we would love your feedback. You are always welcome to reply to this email with thoughts on how we’re doing. Let us know what you’d like to see more or less of in the newsletter. Tell us about your favourite women-owned brands. We are all ears! 

Enjoy! 

Dear Santa, please make room in my stocking for this wrap belt. I promise to wear it forever! Afterall, this woman-owned brand is a master at timeless classics.

It’s not uncommon to find soap and toiletries in the stocking on Christmas morning. But these stylish soaps tell a story.

The foodie in your life will appreciate these hard-to-find items in their stocking and the woman entrepreneur who scours the globe to source them.

If these don’t fit in the stocking, be sure to put them under the tree. The Pickleballer in your life will love you for it!

Who doesn’t love a notebook in their stocking? These ones are handcrafted by the owner of a stationary company that has become much more than that.
