“Christmas: that magic blanket that wraps itself about us.”

Augusta E. Rundel

Whether you are needing Christmas stocking stuffers for women, for coworkers, or for mom, this list will help get you started with creating an unique holiday stocking for everyone that will be fun to open.  

What is Hygge?

Hygge cannot be summarized in just a word or even a sentence.  The best way I can describe it is an outlook on life that focuses on simple pleasures and taking the time to cultivate more of them in your life. 

It’s when you give your body, mind and spirit a rest and enjoy the good things in life, like a sunrise or sunset, reading a book in front of crackling fire, taking the time to savor a delicious mug of gourmet tea, and spending time with friends and family in a comfortable setting. 

What is a Hygge Lifestyle? 

Instead of living your life on autopilot, hygge is a way of life that makes sure you live your life in a way that brings deep contentment to your soul. 

Sometimes the outer things in life (money, power, achievements) aren’t the things that will make us happy.  A hygge life encourages us to look at what truly brings us joy and it to make sure we include those things in our days. 

Creating a Cozy Life Group

Since you found this list of stocking stuffer ideas for Christmas morning, I’m guessing you like all things cozy living. I created a Facebook group called Creating a Cozy Life with over 74,000 like-minded souls.

It’s a group where we share recipes, pictures of things that leave you in awe, and ideas on how to make your life just a little bit more snug.  Join here to be part of the virtual cozy cabin.

Here are the 21 Hygge Christmas Stocking Stuffer Ideas: 

1) Hygge Christmas Ornaments

Buying a special ornament that has meaning to the person you’re giving it to is a fun idea for small gifts that will fit inside a Christmas stocking.  

For your husband, it could be a reminder of something he loves like a classic car, for your wife how about an ornament from a special place you vacationed, and for a child you could give an ornament that reflects his or her latest obsession.  

You could buy one or to make it more special you can make an ornament for everyone close to you.

2) Little love notes
