I love giving gifts that someone wouldn’t buy for themselves. My stepmom does amazing stocking stuffers this way- that pricey kitchen tool that you wanted but it would have been a splurge, the Essie nail polish that is $8 and you keep passing by thinking “I don’t need to spend $8 on nail polish. I could put that towards something we really need.”, or the beautiful notepaper that is completely unnecessary but you automatically write more letters now that you have it. Massage gift cards, mani/pedis…the things that give you small joy or relaxation or happiness that you don’t always do for yourself!
The camera lens is a perfect example for me…I love taking pictures with my iPhone and have wanted to take a photography class. And get a real camera! It might be the tail wagging the dog, but winning a great lens would put “nice camera” at the top of my list this year. :-)
