11 AT Staffers Share the Stocking Stuffers They’re Buying This Year (And They’re All Under $15!)
It’s the holiday season, which means it’s time to do some gift shopping! We’re sharing our favorite picks for anyone on your list—check out all of our gift guideshere!
Christmas and Hanukkah are days away, and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably still working your way down yourholiday gift list. While the big-ticket purchases are relatively easy to check off, it’s often the smaller presents like stocking stuffers and Secret Santa gifts that are stressful to shop for. How do you get something that’s meaningful (or even useful) without breaking the bank? I asked fellow AT staffers for their suggestions, and boy did they deliver. From quirky desk items to sweet self-care essentials to meaningful books, there’s a ton of great ideas packed in here. Even better? They’re all under $15. Happy gifting!

George & Viv Holiday Gifting Hand Cream
“I recently purchased this George & Viv Holiday Hand Cream for my new neighbors across the street. My neighbors are big gardeners and work extremely hard to keep their curb appeal on point.

Not only was the packaging stunning, but the Berry Wreath matched the Christmas cards I bought as well!” —Jessica Wilken, Senior Manager, Email & Acquisition

Aesop Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash
“This is really nerdy, but my parents always got me toiletries, and I loved it. And I still ask for luxurious toiletries. My favorite soap is the Aesop Resurrection Hand Wash, it feels like I’m getting a diamond ring when I get it in my stocking. The soap itself is foamy, but it’s the blend of citrus, woodsy, and herbaceous smell that makes it feel so decadent.” —Rebecca Longshore, Director of Audience Growth

“Every Frenchman Has One”, by Olivia de Havilland
“For my roommate’s Christmas present, I decided to get her the book ‘Every Frenchman Has One.’ She’s planning a trip to Paris next year, and rather than buying her an outdated guide book on the city, I chose this historical nonfiction. A little bit of history, a little bit of humor, and a fun story from Olivia’s perspective on moving to Paris and becoming a local.”—Anita Chomenko, Associate Video Producer
