 Old Trapper

 Old Trapper has the perfect stocking stuffer! They offer a ¼ pound bag of their delicious and high-protein premium beef jerky which anyone that likes beef jerky will just love!

Old Trapper is straying from the beef jerky industry norm of making smaller and smaller packaging for their products. They are offering more of their products with the convenience of ¼ pounds sized bags. Easy to count – 2 bags is ½ a pound and 4 bags is 1 pounds, which allows for customers to buy as much as they need easily! Available in Old Fashioned, Hot & Spicy, and Peppered, Old Trapper has the perfect snack for all Game Day Tailgating needs.

Available on Amazon and the Old Trapper website. MSRP $80.00 for a case of eight packages.

Ooh La La Skincare

Looking for beauty stocking stuffers? Here are a few of my favorites! The first one is an amazing Body Butter! While there’s no shortage of skin care products, what this brand offers is genuinely unique in its ability to address common skin conditions for both women and men, paying special attention that what is absorbed through the pores is all-natural and beneficial to each individual’s needs. It’s skin maintenance that’s accessible for all skin types, naturally revitalizing and nourishing skin and hair for gorgeous results. The brand offers a creative mix of products with organic raw shea butter and signature scents (Hip butter, gap 2, lov u butter) to wow the senses. Shopping for organic skin care products has never been easier or more fun! You’ll say, “Ooh La La.”  I love the way my skin feels after using this body butter! They have other wonderful products as well! Check them out at Ooh La La Skincare.

I use this daily! It’s one of my new faves!

Spa Technologies

Price:$25.00 – $195.00

Creating a home spa is a must to help ease our daily stresses and take care of our bodies. Spa Technologies makes it simple and soothing. The brand delivers essential items made of seaweed to revitalize the body, mind, and soul. The kits are a terrific and unique holiday gift for family and friends since they no longer have to visit a spa to enjoy these lovely benefits. The brand has inspired an industry trend and has been a trusted source for over 30 years. Their Eco Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 25 is now part of my daily skincare routine! With an antioxidant-rich formula and sun protection, this everyday lotion helps protect your skin against environmental damage and stressors. Lightweight and creamy with a mild fruit scent, it absorbs quickly, leaves no white residue, and provides the ideal base under makeup. Spa Technologies is the site to check out!

Fleuri Beauty

Originating from Japan, Fleuri has been an expert in providing effective, yet gentle skincare products since 2002. Instead of formulas that only provided temporary effects, this brand refocuses skincare to help consumers long-term with products that offer comprehensive care to all your beauty needs. Fleuri’s products are designed to be gentle on the skin, perfect for everyone including those that have sensitive skin! In Japan, the brand is already well known as a celebrity favorite. They are excited to expand to the U.S. market and support even more people in their skincare journey. Price: Starting at $35.

 Cocofloss

It’s important to floss every day! I was excited to learn about  Cocofloss! These make flossing so much better! My favorite is the Limited Edition Holiday Set (South Pole)! Check them out! These would make great stocking stuffers! And, the Sea-Life Conservation Set is a must-buy (which donates $10 from every purchase to the ocean conservation non-profit of your choice!) Always non-toxic, PFAs free, vegan and spun from ~85% recycled water bottles too!

Happy Holidays!
