4 Stocking Stuffer Stylist Staples (all under $20)

While not particularly sexy, these are products I use personally and in my work, and are perfect for practical gifting. I encourage shopping at a local business if possible, but for those of you needing to shop online, click on pictures to go to product page on Amazon.com.

Victorinox Swiss Army Jetsetter 3 Pocket Knife // $17.57

​I carry this little gadget for the small scissors, tweezers, and toothpick (still haven’t found a real world need for the screwdriver, wire stripper, and bottle opener). Clients and friends alike are impressed when I whip this out to cut hanging threads, safely removing tags from purchases, and of course it never hurts to have some tweezers and toothpick at the ready. TSA friendly, so I can have it with me always.

Kleen Quickstep Shoe Shine Sponge // $8.99
I got turned on to this when living in Italy (it was called Magic Sponge) and now I always have one in the house and in my suitcase when traveling. While this doesn’t replace actual shoe polish, it is great for a last minute swipe on your way out the door to make your slightly scuffed shoes look fresh.

Conair Fabric Defuzzer // $12.99
Renew your sweaters! This is an effective and safe way to remove pilling and add new life to  sweaters and jackets. This particular model even comes in fun colors. ​

Tide Stain Remover Pen // $9.89 (3-pack)
Got a spiller in your life? Here’s another staple I always have with me and is often appreciated by those in need. This Tide Pen really does the job! Occasionally a stain will not come out completely immediately, but this will help keep it from setting until you can get to a washer.
