9. Stars & Moon Hair Pins

Ahh, the teenage years. Full of drama and rebellion and peer pressure. Parents dread the teenage years for those very reasons. (And because that’s when our children start driving. HOLY. COW.) On the bright side, teens are pretty easy to shop for because they use those smart-ass mouths of theirs to let you know exactly how they feel. But if your teenager ends up giving you the silent treatment, treat her to the gift of these fun hair pins. She’ll need them to pull her hair back on her first date. (AAAAHHH!!!)

Get your girl a set from American Eagle Outfitters.

10. Darth Vader USB

One thing I don’t like about boys and their toys is that so many of them are gross, gory or scary. This falls into at least one of those categories. But, I can pretty much guarantee that if your teen is a Star Wars fan and a techie, there’s no way he won’t love getting this in his stocking.

Find your computer geek his very own Darth Vader USB at HBX.

11. Foot Creme

When you spend your days on your feet, there’s nothing better than getting a relaxing foot massage. Unfortunately, many husbands scoff at their wives when asked if they’ll indulge her with one. If your hubby won’t give you a foot massage, give yourself one! It won’t be as enjoyable, but maybe it’ll make your husband realize how much you enjoy them, and he’ll finally crack (just like your heels). Enjoy soft, supple feet by stuffing some foot creme in your stocking.

You can find this at Smallflower.

12. Terrycloth Lined Shower Cap

As moms, we’re lucky if we shower everyday. And sometimes even if we get time for a shower, we don’t have time to wash our hair. That’s actually good, because hair care professionals say our hair is healthiest when only washed a few times a week. Nonetheless, on those days when you’ve got to take a “power shower,” a standard shower cap isn’t the most comfortable thing to wear. Perhaps you’d like to try a machine-washable one that’s lined with terrycloth? It’s no spa treatment, but it sounds nice to me!

Head to Net-A-Porter to order one for yourself or another mom you know.

13.Beard & Mustache Oil

It’s that time of year when men everywhere stop shaving. (No wonder Duck Dynasty is so popular.) And with more facial hair comes more maintenance. If your hubby/father/brother-in-law is all about the beard trend, gift him with some beard oil to tame that mane. This stuff works on mustaches too, so don’t leave out the mustache men in your life!

You can purchase this from Urban Outfitters.

14. Charcoal Bristle Bamboo Toothbrush

Men are into gadgets and gizmos that are “all the rage.” Right now, it’s cool to be eco-friendly. Ernest Supplies thinks it’s also cool to design a toothbrush that looks good on your bathroom counter. This toothbrush hits the mark on both of those things. It’s a stylish, biodegradable toothbrush with charcoal infused bristles and a renewable bamboo handle. Daddy dearest would be stoked to wake up Christmas morning and find this cool gadget in his stocking!

Get more details about this toothbrush, and get one for your man at Barneys New York.

Contributing Writer at Life As Mama

I'm a wife, mother and everything else associated with domestic life. I can often be found hiding from my kids to sneak treats (especially ice cream). I love rainbows and naps, and I find any excuse to go to Target. When I actually make it out of the house in real clothes, I document my outfits on my fashion blog, Leather & Lip Gloss. My love for fashion also inspired me to start my own comprehensive style website, The Style Spectrum.
