I've tired almost every flavor of Mocktail Club's drinks and I am super happy to have them as a staple in my home. I have plenty of drinkers and non-drinkers in my life and these are a simple go-to to make sure everyone gets a nice, adult drink. They pair really well with vodka (or any alcohol of your choice) but are just as good on their own. Everyone wins!

Get them from Mocktail Club for $16.96.

This includes caramel, cinnamon maple pecan, and holiday Moose Munch popcorn, a dark chocolate and milk chocolate Moose Munch bar, and a milk chocolate reindeer sucker.

Get it from Harry & David for $49.99.

Promising review: "The shipping was fast and these have an awesome taste. I've tried tons of kombucha but often hate how much space the bottles take up in my fridge — enter Qula! What a great idea to have kombucha whenever I want without a bunch of glass bottle waste! These are delicious and convenient." —vics

Get it from Amazon for $15.

Every bag of Steeped coffee is hand roasted in small batches that are "ethically sourced directly from farmers" and they require no machine...just a coffee mug! BTW, the filter is non-GMO, fully compostable, and made with reusable materials.

Get it from Steeped for $15+ (available in two sizes).

BTW, this includes pina colada, peach bellini, pomegranate cosmo, mojito and strawberry daiquiri Jelly Bellies.

Promising review: "These are delicious! The box they came in was beautiful and had each flavor in their own compartment and the list of flavors inside the lid of the box. The Mojito (my favorite) has a lime flavor with a hint of mint. There's no alcohol but these are great as a treat for yourself or to give as a gift!" —Mrs. H

Get them from Amazon for $8.90.

Promising review: "I have a very picky dog who also like to snack all day. I gave her one of the chicken flavored soup bones today. She stopped eating her favorite snack and started to lick the soup bone. I think I'll be buying these again as she likes the taste and they take quite long for her to finish." —Angelo Vecchio

Get it from Amazon for $4.13 (available in two flavors).

I received THREE separate boxes of Liquid Death for my birthday this year because I talk about this stuff so often, whether people want to listen or not. This is marketing genius, I'm a sucker for fun packaging, and the water is...TO DIE FOR. I also have...lots of their merch. Lots of it.

Get a 12-pack from Liquid Death for $15.99.

The pack includes 12 Kickbars in cocoa, latte, and coffee. Some bars can be eaten plain and others are intended to heat up and drink, like a suuuper thick hot chocolate. The melty kind is really and truly one of my favorite treats. Caffeinated candy (that's also vegan, dairy, gluten, and nut free!) shouldn't taste this good but, trust me, it DOES.

Promising review: "These are absolutely delicious!! I LOVE the new cocoa flavor. It's perfect for busy mornings or an afternoon pick me up. I 10/10 recommend this to everyone I know!" —Adrienne

Get it from Kickbar for $17.

Promising review: "These are pretty much the perfect snack. High, HIGH protein (20 grams per package), low fat, low sodium, HIGH fiber (about 80% of a day's recommended, IIRC), and they taste great. What more could you want? They're pretty dry. Have some water handy." —Rockinghorse Winner

Get them from Amazon for $12.91.

The only question is ~witch~ one should you keep for yourself??

Promising review: "These things are adorable!! The detail on such tiny little mug cookies is great. They are exactly as pictured and come in travel friendly packages. My family is going to love them Christmas morning when I serve them coffee and hot chocolate." —SHRBT

Get them from Uncommon Goods for $20.

I have a bowl of candy in my apartment and there is always, alllways, a bar or two of RED chocolates. I like having a sugar-free treat around for times when I want a chocolate fix without a sugar slump later. These definitely do the trick!

Promising review: "This is amazing chocolate! We LOVE RED chocolates at our house! If you have not tried them then you are really missing out! It pairs amazingly well with wine! If you must quarantine then you NEED RED chocolates!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $12.99.

How does the planting work? The lollipop sticks have seeds inside! Once the receiver finishes their treat, they can plant the sticks horizontally and cover them in soil, give them some sun and water, and watch their plants grow! Each set includes unique flavor combinations that grow different plants: sage/marshmallow (grows sage), lavender/lemongrass (grows lavender), peach/marigold (grows marigold), strawberry/basil (grows basil), champagne/rose (grows rosetta cosmo), rosemary/mint (grows mint), lemon/thyme (grows thyme), and vanilla/hibiscus (grows baby blue eyes).

Promising review: "I like to garden and my grand-nephews like coming to the garden and picking plants they like. These lollipops are a great way to get them started planting, watering, and watching!" —Lori

Get them from Uncommon Goods for $20.

Excuse me, Grogu. BTW, this has a whopping 36 tea bags inside.

Get it from BoxLunch for $15.90.

Wish you could have a salted peanut butter, maple blueberry, lemon raspberry, coconut chai, cocoa, vanilla latte...that's chewable? Here ya go! You can even try them for free (just pay $3.95 for shipping) and see what you think!

Promising review: "I struggled for a long time to find something to fuel me before my early morning workout. I'm up early, roll out of bed and work out before the day gets away from me. Thankfully a friend recommended Verb bars! They are perfect for me! Love the bars, this company, and their customer service." —Leah

Get a box from Verb Energy for $22+ (available in multiple flavors and bundles).

Although these come in a gift box each piece is individual wrapped, making them an easy stocking stuffer!

Get them from Simply Chocolate for $22.99.

I. Love. These. Chips. I have several bags of these, all different flavors, in my apartment right now because I can't ever be without them. The texture is exactly what you'd expect from a classic potato chip, without the grease or feeling gross after. These chicken chips are wild, and one of my new favorite snack discoveries. Check out all the available flavors aaaand then get them all.

Get a bag of six from Wilde for $29.99 (or subscribe and save for $26.99).

Each pack comes with 45 mints.

Promising review: "It is so difficult to find mints without artificial sugars in them these days. Those artificial sugars cause my husband to get migraine headaches almost immediately. Not so with these mints! His feedback on them is that they have long-lasting results, don't give him headaches, and have a very enjoyable flavor. Thank you for these!" —Frenzied Mom

Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four flavors).

Promising review: "As someone who has been doing Keto for nine months now, searching for a crispy and crunchy snack that isn't pork rinds can be a chore. I am happy to report that these bars are AWESOME! They are always tasty, always crunchy, and a Keto-friendly snack!" —Christine H

Get them from Amazon for $23.89 (available in three flavors).

Promising review: "I gave these away as Christmas gifts (a personalized mug with goodies inside and this was one of the goodies). Everyone loved it and wanted to buy more for themselves. I will definitely get this again. It does not take very long to dissolve in a hot drink." —Sheree Collins

Get it from Amazon for $22.

Promising review: "I love Pocky. Not only are they a delicious snack, but they're small and lite (assuming you don't eat whole boxes by yourself). They make great stocking stuffers for Christmas, as well as small gifts or hors d'oeuvres for special occasions like parties and whatnot!" —Aether

Get them from Amazon for $21.38 (available in three flavors).

This pack includes blackberry, clementine, apple, and grapefruit.

Promising review: "I love these sparking juices! They're the perfect size to keep plenty icy cold in the fridge. The juices taste great too. We LOVE the berry, but the tangerine and the grapefruit are also superb. The apple taste like, well, apple, so you can't go wrong. These have natural flavors and no lousy artificial sweeteners OR sugar — just the natural fruit sugars. What a great way to refresh! Strongly recommended." —TheBigGuy

Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $14.84 (available in nine flavors).

You can also get these in bacon, clam, and macaroni and cheese.

Promising review: "These are just as vile as you would think, and it was wonderful! I used them for a work Christmas party. It was disgusting and everyone was cracking up! It was almost just a pickle aftertaste. A pickle essence if you will." —T. Tekkno

Get them from Amazon for $9.49.

This incudes two 12 oz. bags of chow in a festive collectable tin.

Get it from Man Crates for $29.99.

Promising review: "I don't often take the time to write reviews but these snacks are worth the effort. I can't get enough! When you have a restricted diet it's easy to feel deprived when it comes to snacks or treats. These 'chips' are so crunchy and delicious I don't feel like I'm missing a thing. What a great idea to disguise banana chips as a savory snack!!" —VLow

Get them from Amazon for $24.72.

I've tried all three of these (I'm a sucker for maple syrup) and can confidently say I'd stuff these in any stocking.

Promising review: "I always thought syrup was just syrup. Nope! Maple Craft is the best tasting maple syrup you will ever try. And don't just use it on pancakes. My favorite indulgence is with vanilla ice cream...wow!" —Marty

Get them from Uncommon Goods for $29.

Promising review: "This product is amazing! I have tried other brand names and they've got nothing like this! The smell alone is really good. I took a nice piece and let it settle in my mouth. There's a nice mix of brown sugar and bacon. The meat itself was nice and tender, NOT DRY like other brands. I like my jerky a bit juicy and this one is by far the. It's the best bacon jerky I have ever tried! I super recommend this and will be buying more for gifts!" —Jezrael

Get it from Amazon for $14.97.

Promising review: "I am thrilled with the quality and beauty of these individually wrapped (and bubble wrapped) treats. I purchased them to give to my grandchildren in with other candies in their stockings this year. I haven't tasted them, so cannot comment on the taste (although other reviewers have said they are delicious)." —Zinger

Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $14.99.
