Enamel pins make adorable and affordable stocking fillers, and they let her express her personality on jackets, tote bags, or denim.

Tropical Scented Candles
Give her a scented escape to the Caribbean with scents from Tribal Unicorn like, Xmas rum cake, Cocoa Noel,Sparkling Sorrell and CinnaBoo. Instantly transform the warmth of the Caribbean to any room.
These little luxuries fit perfectly into a Christmas stocking and adds a moment of relaxation to her holiday season.
I also love these candles from Terre Candle.
They come in beautiful stylish designs, in brightly coloured candle vessels. And smell amazing.
Their hand-blended candles are designed to energise the senses and create an atmosphere of serenity and calm.
Plus they have an extra bonus... Terre Candles smell so good that your Christmas stocking will likely smell great too.
Afro-Caribbean Art Prints
Art can be meaningful without being large or expensive. Small prints, especially those featuring Caribbean textures, landscapes, or carnival-inspired illustrations, make beautiful Christmas stocking fillers for women who love unique décor.
My prints come in A3, A4, and A5, so you can choose a size that suits her space. They’re perfect as a cheerful stocking filler or as a main present to bring a pop of sunshine to her desk, gallery wall, or any room in need of Caribbean warmth.
Tropical Lip Balm
Winter often brings dry, chapped lips, so a nourishing lip balm is always a welcome treat in any Christmas stocking. Look for formulas enriched with coconut oil, shea butter, or mango butter to keep her lips soft, hydrated, and subtly scented with tropical goodness.
Try IUVO’s Tropical Grapefruit & Lime Lip Balm for a fresh, fruity boost. They also offer delicious scents like Zesty Orange, Fresy and Minty Peppermint and Vanilla so there’s something for every preference.
A lip balm is also included in the iUVO Autumn Essentials Gift Box, making it an even more generous option if you want to truly make someone’s Christmas extra special.
Warning!! Their products smell incredible, so don’t be surprised if you end up treating yourself too!
Next up is LoveRems Skincare's Shea butter, cocoa butter & Vanilla pods.
Enriched with sustainably sourced natural ingredients, this balm provides intense hydration and a soothing touch, making it not only a great Christmas stocking option but the ideal daily companion too.
Journals or Notebooks
For the woman who loves to jot down ideas, make lists, or capture her dreams, a notebook makes a thoughtful and practical Christmas stocking filler. Small enough to tuck neatly into a Christmas stocking, yet stylish and meaningful, a notebook can brighten her day every time she writes.
Choose notebooks with Caribbean-inspired prints, bold tropical patterns, or has bright colours to bring a little sunshine and island living feel to her everyday writing. They’re perfect for writing notes or sketching out your ideas, making them versatile additions to any Christmas stocking.
Check out my collection of beautifully designed notebooks, each one carefully created to make a Christmas stocking feel extra special and full of personality.

Tropical Tea Blends
Christmas can be quite a magical time, but also quite a stressful time. This is when you may also need to escape to your most comfortable chair in your home, switch on your favourite track and get all cosy with a nice cup of tea. So a tropical tea blend could be the perfect Christmas stocking gift that will be appreciated all year round.
If you've attended one of my Raffia Embroidery workshops then you may have tasted the tropical green or hibiscus tea from Shibui Tea. These unique blends make a great Christmas stocking filler.

Colourful Stationery
Stationery lovers will appreciate beautifully designed bookmarks, stickers, or colourful Caribbean-inspired stationery sets. My Caribbean-themed stationery pieces make charming additions for readers, journalers, or anyone who enjoys thoughtful little details.

This one is a bit big for a stocking gift but as the book is not avaialble until February you can always buy it, then create a voucher you can give on the day, so your special someone has something to look forward to in the new year.
Pre-order Raffia Embroidery by 31 January 2026 and receive a free roll of raffia yarn to add to your gift.
Or if you prefer a project that can be started straight away, you could alos get one of our kits, although not sure how you'd get that into a Christmas stocking, but could be a main gift.
There's always gift vouchers
There’s no shame in gifting vouchers. In fact, if you’re unsure what to buy, gift cards are a great choice, they let your recipient pick something they truly love from our full range of products.
