Stock up on the best stocking stuffers for 2021

Perfect for: The Kardashian convert

Sad news for fans of Kris Jenner and her swath of uber-famous progeny: Keeping Up With the Kardashians announced its end this year after 20 seasons. Luckily, you can still carry the Kardashians with you all day long—or at least, on your face. Kim Kardashian West’s shapewear line, SKIMS, branched out with face coverings last year. For $8, you can wear its knit nylon mask over your mouth so long as you cover your nose, too (don’t be a dweeb!). Give this gift to anyone on your list. Who doesn’t need a mask?

Perfect for: the sports fanatic

Tennis player Naomi Osaka inspired a powerful conversation around mental health this year when she pulled out of the French Open and forewent media interviews. The four-time Grand Slam singles champion has redefined the role of a high-level athlete under public scrutiny, gaining support from people (and fellow players) around the world. As you can imagine, when she released her Barbie lookalike with Mattel in July, it sold out within hours. But don’t worry—the doll is back in stock, and it's a perfect fit for any stocking.

Perfect for: Disciples of the monarchy

In March, Oprah Winfrey interviewed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in a special show viewed by 49.1 million people in its first day alone. The interview surfaced many claims—from Meghan detailing racism within the royal system to Harry announcing they were financially cut off from the rest of his family. It caused quite a stir, and it provided a source of drama for Americans across the pond. For your royal-obsessed acquaintances, scoop up a prayer candle with Meghan and Harry right on the front.

Perfect for: true fans only

Britney Spears lived under a conservatorship for nearly 14 years, but that all changed on after a judge finally terminated the legal hold on the pop star’s life. While fans fought for the star’s financial and legal freedom for over a decade, their efforts came to a head this year when the New York Times highlighted the #FreeBritney movement and resurfaced the negative media coverage of the early 2000s. For the Britney fan who feels entirely validated by the recent news, get them an ornament to commemorate the occasion.

Perfect for: the family member who’s always cold (or your uncle Bernie)

Bernie Sanders kicked off the year rather cold at Joe Biden’s inauguration, which quickly became one of 2021’s definitive memes. The handmade, upcycled mittens Bernie rocked outside the Capitol are now available for everyone. Each pair is made from recycled wool sweaters, completely unique, and lined with fleece to keep your fingers warm and stylish. After all, isn’t a pair of mittens the perfect match for any stocking?

Perfect for: the hopeless romantic friend

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are back together, and the Internet couldn’t be happier. What better way to celebrate their reunion than gifting the movie that started it all: Gigli. Ben and J.Lo met on the set of this notorious flop (6% on Rotten Tomatoes!), which has been a punchline for years. A Bennifer Christmas means a Gigli in every stocking.

Perfect for: the meme enthusiast

After winning the 2020 election on the ticket with Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris uttered the following iconic words: “We did it, Joe.” The much-watched video turned into an oft-used meme throughout the entirety of 2021, and memes have a tendency to look great on mugs. Tie it all together with a cup of joe (...get it?). 

Perfect for: the Brady bunch

Back in February, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 31 to 9. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just a casual football watcher, you have to admit how cool it was for a team to win a Super Bowl in their home stadium. Relive the revelry with Buccaneers swag, like this snug knit hat (perfect for the winter season).
