Add These Whole Foods Stocking Stuffers To Your Gift List

Whenever I walk into Whole Foods, I know I’ll be leaving with a lot more than I planned to buy. Whether it’s stopping at the hot bar for an unexpected lunch or picking up a snack that I haven’t had in a while, Whole Foods always seems to be ready with whatever I didn’t know I needed. 

Not only does Whole Foods have practically every grocery imaginable, the huge selection of self-care and trinkets is a gift-givers heaven. As the holidays come up, here’s some of the best stocking stuffers you can get from Whole Foods, both food and not. 

Kitsch Satin Scrunchies, $12

These satin scrunchies are the perfect gift for girls of all ages and hair types. While normal hair ties often leave a dent, these trendy and functional scrunchies leave no crease and add a pop of color to your hairdo. 

Tate’s Bake Shop Gingersnap Cookies, $6.50

Tate’s cookies are a household staple no matter the time of year, so why not celebrate the holidays with festive gingersnap? These fit right in with the holiday spirit, and right into a stocking. 

Wonderful Pistachios No Shells Variety Pack, $9.50 

If you’re looking to add a tiny snack to your stockings, these mini packs of pistachios are the perfect option. This variety pack comes with chili roasted, honey roasted, and roasted and salted options, and each bag is just the right size for a small gift. 

Aloe Vera Socks, $11

Everyone can use a good pair of fuzzy socks, especially in the winter months. These socks are infused with aloe vera and Vitamin E, and continuously moisturize with every wear. To enhance their effectiveness, you can even use your favorite lotion before you put them on. 

Burt’s Bees Beeswax Bounty Lip Balm Gift Set, $13

Burt’s Bees lip balm is a gift that can be given to practically anyone. If you’re looking for something small to add to someone’s stocking, lip balm is a functional gift that is sure to be appreciated. This four pack comes with the original Burt’s Bees formula – a fan favorite for natural ingredients and long-lasting moisture. 

Made Good Soft Baked Mini Double Chocolate Cookies, $4.30

I love so many of Made Good’s snacks, from their granola bars to these mini chocolate chip cookies. Made with organic ingredients, these sweet treats are unbelievably tasty and would be my ideal gift in my stocking. 

French Rose Clay Mask, $22.50

The French Rose scented clay mask is moisturizing and restorative. With only two ingredients, this simple skincare step is a wanted addition to your holiday shopping list. 

Raspberry Rose Poppi Four Pack, $9

Prebiotic soda has been all the rage recently, so a can of Poppi is a timely and tasty gift. This four pack of Raspberry Rose, which is my favorite flavor, BTW, is a sweet alternative to typical sodas with a high sugar content. 

Goat’s Milk and Chai Body Lotion, $14.50

In the winter, a good lotion is a must. Treat your loved ones to a rich goat’s milk and chai scented body lotion, the perfect cozy addition to their skincare routine while the temperatures are low. 

Shea Moisture Daily Hydration Leave-in Treatment, $13

As a long-time Shea Moisture fan myself, I can’t help but include their daily hydration leave in treatment as a stocking stuffer. This product is my holy grail for detangling and frizz control, and it is sure to be the same for whoever you gift it to.
