Amazon Stocking Stuffers Under $25

Laneige Lip Glowy Balm

You may have heard of Laneige’s ultra-popular Lip Sleeping Mask, but its on-the-go counterpart shouldn’t be overlooked. The Lip Glowy Balm delivers a dose of moisture with each swipe thanks to its hydrating formula that’s made with shea and murumuru seed butters. Not only will your lips look glossy, but they’ll also feel extra soft (and smell good, too). 

Amazon Echo Pop

Smart speakers are generally on the expensive side, but Amazon’s Echo Pop device is still marked down post Cyber Monday. Despite its low price, this smart speaker can do practically everything; adjust the music volume, turn on the Christmas tree lights, and even set a timer for your holiday ham with just your voice. It can also answer the most trivial questions. Just say, “Alexa, how many teaspoons are in an ounce?”

Vera Bradley Bag Charm for Airpods

If Apple AirPods are on their wish list this year, consider snapping up this Vera Bradley case that’ll pair nicely (get it?) with their new favorite listening device. The cute floral bag charm is designed specifically with AirPods in mind, giving you just enough space for the case, an internal band for security, and a keychain clip for easy locating. 

Yankee Candle Mistletoe Large Jar Candle

Cozy nights in aren’t complete without lighting this mistletoe Yankee Candle pick. You’ll get all the comforting seasonal notes you’re looking for, like pine needles, cloves, and woody bark. Yes, your entire space will smell like Christmas. Plus, the large, 22-ounce candle has a 150-hour burn time, so you can light it all day, if you really wanted to.

Body Restore Shower Steamer 6-Pack

Who needs the spa when you can get that same relaxing feeling at home? Similar to bath bombs, these shower steamers release aromatic scents and essential oils that are designed to soothe you sans the tub. Each tablet features a different smell, including jasmine, lavender, and eucalyptus mint. 

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara

This popular Maybelline mascara works wonders to fan out lashes with just a few strokes, which is why it’s earned more than 78,100 five-star ratings so far. The editor-loved pick has a silicone bristle brush that coats individual lashes, making them pop (even if you’re running on a few hours of sleep). Plus, the long-lasting formula will stay on all day without any smudges or runs. 

Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Mini Pack

Real Simple readers love these Kasa smart plugs, which is why it was a top seller during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. What makes them special is their ability to turn practically any traditional device into a small home gadget. For example, once you plug in the Christmas tree lights into the smart plug, you’ll be able to turn them on and off via voice command. 

Joyca & Co. Multicolor Wool Crew Socks

You can’t go wrong with gifting cozy socks for Christmas, especially when they’re as cute as these DIY-looking ones. We love the cute stitch pattern on these socks because they look like something Grandma sewed by hand. Plus, they’re made with a cozy wool blend that’s soft yet breathable.
