As winter’s winds pick up, lips are left chapped and sore. The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask restores lips to their plum-juicy selves overnight. The berry hue is perfect for a pop of winter color.

The Bombas Gripper Slippers are among the best I've ever worn. They feel like socks but wear like slippers. They feature a non-slip sole, but surround your foot entirely so you don't have to worry about walking out of them. 

Slip makes some of the best scrunchies out there. They don't contain seams, so they provide all-around comfort for the wearer. Reviewers swear by this brand, and a five-pack usually costs $42, making this ornament a real steal.

Winter can be rough on our skin, especially our faces. Stuff her stocking with moisturizing cream that will rejuvenate dry skin and combat aging.

This particular product is among AOL shoppers' favorite beauty products — it's consistently among the most popular items our readers shop from Amazon. 

Every woman loves a well-polished manicure, but doesn’t always have the time to visit a salon. Enter Glamnetic, faux nails that can be easily done at home. Simple almond-shaped nails are on all of the Pinterest boards (surely, hers too).

What to gift the woman who is fueled by coffee and more coffee? Forget a gift card, fill her stocking with the OXO Brew Rapid Brew, so she can instantly make her morning cold brew at home. This brewer can make cold brew concentrate in just five minutes, so she can enjoy her favorite iced beverage without having to wait overnight like other cold brew makers require.

The Apple Air Tag, a little tracking device for your belongings, is a practical gift for him. This little tag can be placed inside a wallet, gym bag, or attached to a keyfob. The next time he misplaces something, he’ll thank you!

Of course, your Air Tag will pair well with a beautiful woven case. We love the dark green color as it reminds us of pine and evergreens.

It’s always tee time with your guy. When he’s not putting on the course, he’s planning his next outing. These stylish monogram golf bag tags will spruce up his golf attire (and hold his tees).

Rifle Paper Co is one of my favorite places to shop. When it comes to stationery, you can't beat the brand's gel pens, which are colorful, thin-tipped, and fun to use. My favorite is the Estee collection, but you can shop four varieties based on your giftee's taste.

Hand Cream belongs in everyone's drawer, and this 3-ounce bottle is only $3 at Amazon. It's among the top-rated creams on Amazon, which isn't surprising given the reputation of the Gold Bond brand.
