1. Salted Caramel Hot Cocoa

Nothing is better on a chilly winter day than warming up with a chocolatey and delectable cup of hot cocoa. A ten ounce jar of this Salted Caramel Hot Cocoa mix can be snagged at Trader Joe’s for just $5.49, and makes a perfect addition to any stocking of a hot cocoa lover. According to the grocery chain’s website, this hot cocoa mix is “rich, creamy and sweet with added natural caramel flavor, so that every sip delivers the enhanced richness and sweetness of caramel.” By adding salt to the caramel flavor, Trader Joe’s notes that the final result— when mixed with hot water or milk— is the “warm, liquid manifestation” of their fan-favorite Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel treats.

2. Gingerbread Coffee

Another perfect holiday gift for a coffee lover is a jar of Trader Joe’s delicious Gingerbread Coffee, which is available for $8.99 for 14 ounces. According to Trader Joe’s, this medium dark roast drink features 100% Arabica beans from South America, “roasted to a medium-dark Vienna roast.” Notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice and ginger are also added, “blending the ground beans and spices together to create a fragrant, flavorful, festive brew that makes any occasion a bit more cozy.”

3. Peppermint Foaming Hand Soap

Another cute stocking stuffer idea involves a wintry-smelling hand soap with classic moisturizing ingredients like peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, aloe juice, and agave extract. This peppermint-scented product from TJ’s can be purchased for $2.99 for 8 Fl Oz, and easily fits into the stocking of someone who loves seasonal items. This limited-edition soap also does not include common irritating ingredients for sensitive skin, such as parabens, sulfates, phthalates, dyes and animal ingredients. It’s also vegan, comes with an eye-catching design, and can be the perfect last-minute addition to other presents, and ultimately makes a great, practical gift! 

4. Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Mask

For many of us, winter often brings about dryer, frizzier locks. This lightweight Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Mask from TJ’s features nourishing, hair-loving ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, argan oil, Vitamin E, and a variety of fruit extracts (like blackberry, mulberry, currant, and açai) to help your hair looking shinier and healthy. A tube of this hair mask can be found at TJ’s for $3.99 for 5.1 Oz, and can make the perfect present for beauty enthusiasts as it is free from notoriously scalp-irritating ingredients like parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, and phthalates. According to TJ’s website, this easy stocking stuffer’s “coconut-vanilla scent and touchably-soft silkiness will linger, but a heavy, greasy residue will not.” 

Happy holidays, and Trader Joe’s shopping!
