As we release the annual holiday gift guide for 2023, I created a list of new items designed to be perfect for a stocking stuffer, office secret Santa or those Hanukah nights.Discover these nine holiday gift ideas perfect fits for the people on your holiday list.
1. Pacas Socks
Socks remain a popular holiday gift and are often appreciated but often not too exciting. Wait to you receive a pair of Pacas – your feet will celebrate it. Originally designed for kids in hospitals who complained of “bad” socks, a team of brothers created comfy, cozy socks and are on a quest to make the coziest clothing on the planet.
Truly suited for my Stay Luxurious holiday gift list, these socks made from alpacas wool are a delightful joy for feet everywhere. Take notice on washing and definitely not to machine dry as I noticed it’s best to hand wash to ensure the fabric remains of the highest quality. You’ll want to keep your pacas in the best shape since you’ll want to keep them on your feet as much as possible. A 3 pack for men costs $52.
2.Xplorer Maps Tote
We all don’t want to overuse plastic when we don’t need to. Having a small tote bag can be helpful, but why just carry a brand name but support a cause with something fun and relatable to your life, – even a favorite destination. The Xplorer Totes retail for $24.99
Xplorer Maps, provides not just tote bags either. They offer their unique old world maps focused on the outdoor and wildlife in form of blankets, drinkware and also puzzles. Select from the many destinations available from your travels or even bucket list. I spend many summer weeks in Pennsylvania and have family there, and someday I hope to see a Florida Keys Map, we have 9 State Parks in the Keys alone.
3. Broken Top Brands – Car Air Fresheners
This candle company allows you to take the popular scents with you in your car with these air fresheners. I appreciate the sea ,salt, surf, as I expect the fragrance brings back the recent memories of my time in Oahu, but I am also excited for the Saguaro cactus from the Saguaro National Park too. I remember air fresheners from my childhood, but I don;t recall the powerful strong scent that these can provide. These are strong as soon as they are opened.
If these popular items remain sold out through the holiday season, they’ll make great gifts through the year and are priced at $22 for a 3 pack. Also, visit the Broken Top Brands for eco-friendly candles with the same fragrances. . The company believes sustainable, eco-conscious products should be affordable, yet luxurious and healthy to fit into my family’s lifestyle.
4.Nguyen Coffee
What Christmas stocking stuffer guide is complete without coffee? This year I discovered Nguyen Vietnamese Coffee. As I continue to explore more wine regions, I plan to continue the same approach with my coffee.
What makes the coffee special? Thanks to the climate and fertile soil, Vietnam is the world’s #2 largest coffee producer and #1 grower of Robusta coffee. Is it good? Well these beans are handpicked at peak ripeness producing a flavorful coffee and then they are freshly roasted in Brooklyn, New York where coffee matters greatly.
The essential pack also provides a Phin filter to slow drip your personal cup of coffee. Check out their YouTube for proper measurements and preparation – I made my first cup just the other day – I could taste the difference with a smooth delicious cup. The introduction kit is $99.
5. Fit + Fresh Simplified Lunch Tote
The lunch tote. I often pack a lunch when I take on a shift at the pool as a lifeguard, some part time work to stay in shape and help our community. I always like to take small snacks on breaks and these smaller fresh & fit multi-use BPA free plastic containers are a perfect fit with a lunch tote. Plus, there are many fashionable choices in their catalog, the Blue Floral can be found on amazon for $27.99 on amazon, with plenty of options on their site.
6. Gifts from the Road

7. Abraham Lincoln Book of Quotes
It may be hard today for people to agree on a recent President today everyone likes. . Yet most people can agree that Abe Lincoln ranks as one of the best Presidents in US history. Many of us know he guided our nation through its toughest time – the Civil War, but what else do we know about our Mr. 5 dollar.

9. Roundhouse Provisions Morning Kick
Who doesn’t want to be more like Chuck Norris? We all do. And what a great chance to enable someone to achieve more in their life then with a formula he blessed. Queue the memes now, but seriously, the Morning Kick caught my attention since it combines essential greens, pre and pro biotics, collagen peptides, and also ashwagandha. It is designed to help with nutrition, digestion, mental health, energy levels and focus on anti-aging. Sounds like Octagenarian Chuck Norris is on to something. The morning formula offers a sweet taste (strawberry lemonade) which can be too sweet and strong for many, but I can verify the kick. I seriously want to make a karate kick every morning I take my glass. Hey, perhaps in 30 days I’ll be making a full round house.
The Morning Kick container filled of 30 servings retails at $79 and is available with other products such as gut strike complete 15 probiotic strains, and three hit combo providing a focus against fat storage. I’ll keep you posted on my usage via Instagram – so follow along @stayadventurous
Happy Holidays!
Stay adventurous, Craig
