Burt’s Bees Has The Best Stocking Stuffers — Here Are 15 I’m Loving

Proof that the best gifts come in the smallest packages.

Written by Marissa DeSantis

This may be a controversial take, but I’m a firm believer that stocking stuffers are better than a bigger boxed gift. First of all, every gift is cuter and somehow more fun to unwrap in a mini size. And secondly, all of the best gifts — like beauty products, jewelry, and chocolates — happen to fit perfectly in a stocking. So whether you’re still looking for minis to fill up a stocking or you want to channel that same good-things-come-in-small-packages energy when shopping for friends, Burt’s Bees has you covered.

Best known for its beeswax lip balms and affordable skin care products, the brand has long been a staple for many. And in more recent years, they’ve introduced plenty of ready-to-gift sets that make holiday (and birthday) shopping a breeze. Ahead, you’ll find 15 mini gifts from Burt’s Bees, including pre-packaged sets and individual best-sellers — all of which are less than $40 (and yes, there are a lot of lip balms involved). Plus, through December 18, you can save an additional 20% when you shop with the code ‘MOREHOLIDAY.’

1. Bit Of Burt’s Gift Set

This holiday-themed duo has dry hands and lips covered with the brand’s hand salve and cranberry-scented lip balm. Ingredients like sweet almond oil, olive oil, and sunflower seed oil ensure the hand salve smooths and softens dry skin, and because it comes in a solid balm texture, it’s easy to use on the go. The set also includes a conditioning lip balm that glides on clear and leaves a matte finish (but still has a festive cranberry smell).

2. Mistletoe Kiss Holiday Gift Set

This ornament-inspired lip balm set can be wrapped up for a stocking stuffer or hung on the tree for a gift that doubles as a decoration. Inside, you’ll find a trio of lip balms to suit various needs, from a classic clear moisturizer with a sweet vanilla scent to a tinted balm that coats lips in a sheer, glossy red hue, and a party-ready shimmer balm with a coral tint.

3. Essential Burt’s Bees Kit

For the most comprehensive kit that’s still small enough to count as a stocking stuffer (and will only cost you $10), try this Essential Burt’s Bees Kit. The five-piece set comes with travel-friendly skin care products to keep skin moisturized, starting with the original Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. To pamper hands and feet, you’ll get a tin of the hand salve, which blends beeswax with botanical oils and herbs to hydrate hands, as well as the deeply nourishing coconut foot cream. Then, there’s the body lotion that’s infused with milk, honey, shea butter, and aloe vera, and a cleansing cream to wash away makeup and impurities at the end of the day while still comforting your skin.

4. Mini Tinted Lip Balms Holiday Gift Set Trio

If you’re shopping for someone who prefers a bold lip to a clear balm, this trio of tinted lip balms gives you the best of both worlds by combining color with conditioning benefits. Each of the mini balms was designed to keep lips moisturized for up to eight hours with a blend of coconut oil, beeswax, sunflower seed oil, and shea butter, but they also let you customize your lip look by choosing between three sheer washes of color (Hibiscus for a bright pink, Rose for a muted red, and Red Dahlia for more of a berry hue).

5. Festive Fix Holiday Lip Balm

You can keep this holiday-themed lip balm set all together or divide them up to cover more gifting ground. Either way, the boxed set includes four different scented balms in Peppermint, Salted Caramel, Shortbread Cookie, and Cranberry Spritz. Every balm in the set includes ultra-moisturizing ingredients like sunflower seed oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E to smooth and soften dry lips.

6. Hand Cream Trio Holiday Gift Set

Much like lip balm, hand cream is one of those winter-season essentials that I can never seem to have enough of. This gift set gives you three travel-friendly hand creams (Lavender & Honey, Wild Rose & Berry, and Watermelon & Mint) that you can keep at your desk and throw in even the tiniest of handbags. Each of the formulas has a rich texture that’s fast-absorbing (and non-greasy) thanks to ingredients like shea butter, jojoba butter, and cupuacu seed butter.

7. Twisty Bee Headband

Pair this headband with a Burt’s Bees skin care set or gift it on its own for an everyday essential that adds a spa-like feel to washing your face (and most importantly, prevents your hair from getting wet). The bright yellow headband includes a tiny, red embroidered bee on the front, and it’s made from a soft terrycloth material that’s machine washable.

8. Mini Holiday Gift Set

Not sure which lip balm to gift? This $5 duo pairs a mini classic Burt’s Bees lip balm alongside a mini tinted lip balm (you can choose between Red Dahlia and Rose shades). Whichever way you wear the balms, your lips will stay plumped up with hydration and super-smooth thanks to ingredients like coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, and beeswax.

9. Tips & Toes Kit

For the friend who’s never without painted nails, this Tips & Toes Kit will help keep your mani/pedi looking its best. Leave the Honey & Grapeseed Hand Cream on your nightstand for a conditioning treatment that’s packed with shea butter, cupuacu seed butter, and grape seed butter, and keep the mini jar of Almond & Milk Hand Cream in your bag for an on-the-go hit of hydration. The Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream will nourish brittle nails and cuticles, and the Coconut Foot Cream will help stave off cracked heels and dry skin (try putting on socks right after applying the foot cream to lock in the moisturizing formula). Plus, you get a Pomegranate-scented lip balm as a bonus.

10. Lip Passion Gift Set

Burt’s Bees is known for its lip products, and this Lip Passion Gift Set combines three different nourishing formulas in a passion fruit-scented kit that’s less than $20. There’s a traditional lip balm that’s formulated with beeswax, shea butter, and cocoa seed butter for daily smoothing and moisturizing, and a Hydrating Lip Oil for when you prefer a glossy shine. But if your lips are feeling especially dry, try the Overnight Lip Treatment pot, which plumps up lips and soothes irritation with its blend of ceramides, chamomile flower extract, and jojoba seed oil.

11. Queen Bee-nie

For a stocking stuffer that goes beyond your beauty routine, Burt’s Bees introduced this bright yellow beanie just in time for the holidays. The cuffed hat includes a bee embroidered on the front, and the golden hue makes for the perfect pop of color against neutral-colored winter coats and sweaters.

12. Lip Mask & Face Sheet Mask Gift Set

To take masking to the next level, there’s this gift set that includes an assortment of single-use face and lip sheet masks for whatever self-care session you’re in the mood for. A meadowfoam seed- and almond oil-infused lip mask can serve as a quick five-minute treatment to deliver plenty of moisture before using the Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm. And for your face, you can choose from sheet masks aimed at calming, refreshing, and hydrating — each one using a different botanical hero ingredient.

13. Limited-Edition Salted Caramel Moisturizing Lip Balm

For an inexpensive stocking stuffer that will be put to good use, there’s this Salted Caramel Moisturizing Lip Balm. The sweet scent is reminiscent of a Starbucks holiday drink, and it’s formulated with ingredients like coconut oil, beeswax, shea butter, and cocoa seed butter to create a protective layer that locks in moisture and leaves lips feeling immediately smoother.

14. Hive Favorites

A travel-size duo that’s only $5, this Hive Favorites pairs the original Beeswax Lip Balm with Burt’s Bees’ Milk & Honey Body Lotion. While the former moisturizes lips for up to 12 hours with beeswax, coconut oil, and sunflower seed oil, the latter uses deeply nourishing ingredients like shea butter, grape seed oil, and coconut oil (and milk and honey, of course) to keep dry skin moisturized for up to 24 hours. It also comes packaged in a ready-to-gift box that even includes a space to write who the gift is for and who it’s from.

15. The Balm Bottle

We could all use a reminder to drink more water (especially since it plays a role in combating chapped lips), and this reusable balm-shaped bottle ensures you won’t forget to stay hydrated at home or on the go. Made to resemble the brand’s beeswax lip balm, the stainless steel bottle holds 24 ounces of liquid, which can be kept hot or cold thanks to the copper vacuum insulation.
