The Best Stocking Stuffers On Amazon

Christmas is officially less than a month away! Who else can’t believe it? I have been trying to buy toys and presents for my family as I see things when we are out, especially if they are on a good sale. I feel like my children are usually easy to buy for- they basically want every toy that they see on tv! However, sometimes I struggle on getting creative with the rest of my family, especially with stocking stuffers! I promised myself I wouldn’t procrastinate this year on trying to find some cool and unique gifts for their stockings. Anyone who has been following me knows my love for Amazon. So, of course I have resorted to them to help me find the best and most affordable gifts this year. Check out some of my favorite things that I have gotten so far for the adult guys, gals and tweens in my life. I’d recommend ordering sooner than later so you will have plenty of time to have everything shipped to you. Amazon makes my life so much easier this way- no lines or traffic to deal with! Happy shopping!

 

For the Tweens:

Nail Polish Set of 12

My nieces are starting to get into all the girly goodies, so they love to do their nails. I love all the bright and fun colors this kit has to offer. You can’t beat the price either for 12 different nail polishes!

Sneaker Ball Deodorizers

I know a lot of kids are into so many different activities and have their own sports bags to keep all their gear in. I also know those bags can get smelly after lots of use. I love throwing in one of these cute deodorizer balls to help with that sweaty smell!

Colorful and Fun Socks

Who doesn’t love fun and colorful socks? These are so vibrant and fun for any age and the price is amazing! They also get awesome reviews.

Skeleton Gloves

These skeleton gloves are awesome for the young men in your life. They are fun, casual and will help keep them warm during those cold winter months.

 

For the Gals:

Fashion Reading Glasses

My mom and mother in law are always looking around the house for their readers. I got them each a pack of these last year and they absolutely love them. They can leave a pair on each floor of their house, in their car and in their purse. Plus, they are adorable, a great price and get amazing reviews!

Wallet Purse For Your Phone

I love these small cell phone wallets. You can carry them as a clutch, wallet or crossbody. Plus, they come in a ton of different colors and have slots for your license and credit cards. This is perfect when you want to run a few errands without being weighed down by a big handbag.

Chapstick Holder

These Chapstick key chain holders are so adorable. I am constantly digging for my Chapstick in my purse, but these make it so quick and easy to find. They come as a pair, so you can share one with a friend or give as two separate gifts!

Bath Bombs

I am obsessed with bath bombs. You can get them for any lady or girl who likes to take relaxing bubble baths. These are a best seller on amazon. The price is great, and the packaging is so pretty and feminine.

 

For the Guys:

Leather Wallet

My husband always likes to have a fresh-looking wallet. It can get overwhelming trying to find the perfect one because there are so many to choose from. I found this one last year and he loved it! There are several different colors to choose from and it gets amazing reviews!

Cigar Cutter

If you have a guy in your life who likes to enjoy an occasional cigar, this is a great cigar cutter. It’s stainless steel, has amazing reviews and is under $10 with free shipping!

Tabasco Sauce Keychain

Do you know a guy who likes everything they eat to be hot and spicy? This tabasco sauce comes in a small bottle on a keychain! It’s prefect for your man to always have access to making his food delicious!

Heat Resistant Gloves

These gloves can come in handy for so many things. They are heat and fire resistant so are perfect for grilling, bonfires and fire building. They are under $17 and have free shipping!

Guest Post: 3 Reasons I’m Switching to Plant Based Cleaning Products

Hi Kylee’s Korner!

This is Teryn, Kylee’s sister! Today I am talking about why I made the switch to plant based cleaning!

*this post contains affiliated links.

1. Plant-based cleaners works just as well as chemical cleaners.

They not only clean well, but they also smell amazing and have non of the potentially harmful side affects that come with chemical cleaners. I’m absolutely obsessed with this all purpose cleaner from Caldrea. The Pear Blossom Agave scent is amazing and it cleans so well! I dilute it to mix in a bucket and mop my floors squeaky clean! You can also dilute it to refill your countertop spray! My floors and counters look shiny and smell so good!

Right now, Grove is letting Kylee’s Korner friends try 2 Full size Caldrea cleaners and 2 Grove products FOR FREE ! This deal is automatically added to your cart when you spend just $20 on your first purchase with Grove! PLUS, they let you try their VIP membership which not only gets you free shipping, but you also get free price matching. So lowest prices on amazing products plus tons of free stuff is a huge WIN to me! Score your free stuff here! 

2. My kids don’t need to consume chemicals.

How many times have you fed your kids off the counter? Pour some goldfish out, cut up some cheese or grapes and let them have at it. Who has time to grab a plate?! I either don’t have time or I’m too lazy.. but I digress. My kids are also the little queens (I have 3 girls) of dropping food on the ground and picking it up and eating it. I say, “go for it! it’s building your immune system!” but not when they’re also dropping those foods into chemicals and ingesting those. YUCK! I feel so much better about my surfaces being cleaned with natural cleaners over chemicals and know they’re not accidentally ingesting potentially harmful chemicals into their growing bodies.

3. Chemicals are not good for septic systems.

Do you live on a septic system? We do! We have carved out a little piece of heaven in the country and all of our plumbing drains into a septic system! There, everything is broken down in the most natural way and actually fertilizes our ground for the most lush garden! When we flush tons of bleach and other chemicals down our drains (cleaners, laundry soap, etc) we are interrupting and hurting that natural process. Plant based cleaners don’t do that! They break down naturally just like everything else!

I’ve tried quite a few plant-based cleaners and so when Grove asked me to try Caldrea, I was super excited! I’ve been cleaning my home with it for a few weeks now and have to say I’m absolutely loving it! My surfaces end up being squeaky clean, they seriously smell amazing, and just the tiniest bit goes such a long way!! I’m impressed and so I’m willing to come on here and share my personal opinions! I absolutely think it’s worth trying it for free!

Try Grove and Caldrea today!

We all need cleaning products, why not take advantage of the free VIP trial (that only ends up being $19.99 a YEAR if you end up sticking with it) and get the lowest prices with their price match guarantee, cleaners you love delivered to your door with free shipping, plus one of the largest selection of plant based products in one place?! There are no commitments, if you don’t like it, you can totally cancel! For me, I find value in it and am sticking with it! Score those FREE products HERE!

Remember, Grove offers a wide selection of natural household cleaning and personal care products. They have cleaners, hair and skin care, laundry products, baby products and more! They also offer a super flexible (and optional) monthly shipment schedule so that you never run out of these products you use every day!

Extra Bonus!

If you spend $39 or more on your first order, Grove will also gift you this enamel cleaning caddy. It’s one of their customer’s favorite items (over 300 reviews and 4.9 stars!). It’s also great for holding your new Caldrea products!

13 Fun Korean Beauty Products That Are All the Rage

There’s a fun trend storming the world right now and you can find Korean beauty products all over Instagram and in the handbags of your favorite celebs. The cool kids are all loving Korean skincare and it’s no surprise. These quirky lip balms, lotions, and face masks come in uniquely adorable packaging that you can’t help but love. Check out these 13 fun Korean beauty products that would make great gifts or conversation pieces in your own purse.

13 Fun Korean Beauty Products

1. Keep oily face at bay with these oil blotting sheets.

How smart and cute are these? Keep them handy to help you control shine during your busy day. Dab a forehead here, a chin here, and look super chic doing it.

2. Oh-so-lovely towel headband.

Keep your hair out of the way while you apply makeup in the morning or wash your face at night. It’s so cute, I wouldn’t even mind if an unexpected guest stopped by.

3. Exfoliating jellyfish

This little guy isn’t just for looks; he’s really great for your skin too. Little exfoliating jellyfish has soft bristles on top and bottom that are ideal for daily cleansing and sloughing off dead skin cells for a fresh face.

4. Bright eyes with cooling eye sticks

Never mind that it’s an adorable bamboo-munching panda. Never mind that the stick itself is so dang cute that I want to pull it out of my pocket every few minutes—this TonyMoly Panda’s Dream So cool Eye Stick de-puffs your eyes while delivering a soothing, cooling sensation.

5. Hilarious carbonated clay mask

This is too funny, and pretty amazing at the same time. Only Korean beauty products can deliver a face mask so bubbly and carbonated that it expands on your face into a fizzy, airy cloud. Totally a fun thing to try at your next girls night!

6. Lazy and Joy Egg Bun Puff

The creators of this cosmetics puff certainly have a sense of humor…and a love for eggs. Or maybe that’s a Korean thing (there are a lot of egg-themed beauty products). So blend and buff in eggcelent style.

7. Dear Darling…

This yummy little popsicle-shaped lip tint is just as darling as its name. What a cute gift for a friend and it’s under $7.

8. Korean facial masks

The impressive thing about these “I’m Real” facial masks is that they are made of 100% natural pulp and  each one is designed to perform a specific function (i.e pore care, elasticity, brightening, etc.).

 

9. It’s a zoo out there.

This Korean Saranghae Zoo Foundation acts as a foundation and concealer for blemish and freckle coverage, as well as SPF 36.

10. Sweet dreams lemon sleep mask

The secret to that pristine Korean skin might just be in this whitening sleeping mask. It’s got Vitamin C and Arbutin to accelerate skin whitening while you sleep.

11. Inky velvet lips

Get that velvety matte lip look with Peri’s Ink Velvet. It’s all the rage in Korea and has good customer reviews, along with a very affordable price point.

12. Love Blossom soft hand cream

Again, packaging takes the cake and I love the graphics on this soothing daily hand cream.

13. Petit bunny lip gloss

Forget the traditional tube of lip moisturizer, this Petit Bunny Gloss comes in a long, thin bar and it is so dang cute! Those bunny ears.

 

Whimsical and fun, it’s no wonder Korean beauty products have taken the world by surprise. You can find more of my beauty favorites and tips here!
