Christmas Swedish dishcloths ($7)
Our best-selling holiday design is Tomte Red, followed by Mistletoe Green and Holly Red. You will also find Reindeer, Snowflakes, Scandi Tree and Turtle Dove in the Holiday Collection. Each dishcloth is 6.75" × 8", made of 70% cellulose and 30% cotton, and absorbs up to 15 times its own weight. It is reusable, machine washable and biodegradable, so it is a stocking stuffer that replaces a lot of paper towels.
Mini Turkish metal bowls ($6)
Our mini Turkish bowls are 3.75" across, printed tin from Istanbul, in patterns like Miray, Banu and Asli. They are a ring dish by the sink, a spot for keys or a home for earrings on the nightstand. The bowls are decorative, not for food.
Soy wax melt duos ($6.50)
Each wax melt duo holds two handmade soya wax melts from England, topped with dried botanicals, with up to 40 hours of fragrance. For the holidays, try Christmas Star, Cinnamon Latte or Fireside Nights. They need a wax melter to use, so they are a perfect stuffer for anyone who already has one.

- Two Christmas dishcloths ($14): one to use, one to keep for next year.

Tips for filling a stocking
- Flat gifts go in first: dishcloths and tea towels lie flat against the back of the stocking.
- A mini bowl can hold the small things, like a wax melt or a gift card.
- Mix one useful gift with one pretty one, like a dishcloth and a bowl.
