When it comes to Christmas stockings, the best gifts are thoughtful, personal, and useful, something a little more exciting than a pair of socks, but still small enough to wrap in festive tissue paper. This year, why not surprise your loved ones with gifts that show you care about their health and wellbeing?
Here are some stocking filler ideas for every type of person in your life – with eye care suggestions to match. But please always refer to full product information before use, and speak to your healthcare provider if you are unsure
For the Gamer or Screen Addict
Whether they’re glued to the latest console release or just spend a little too long on TikTok, screen time takes a toll on the eyes. People blink less while staring at screens, which can lead to dryness and irritation1.
Stocking ideas:
- Blue light glasses
- Gaming snacks or energy-boosting teas
- A mini stress ball
- TheraTears® Screen Eyes 5-in-1 Eye Drops
For the Self-Care Lover or Night Owl
Some people like their evenings zen, warm baths, herbal teas, and 8 hours of sleep. But some people find themselves waking up with dry eyes often due to spending time in air-conditioned or heated environments2.
Stocking ideas:
- Silk sleep mask
- Lavender pillow spray
- A cosy bedtime book
- TheraTears® Overnight Restore Eye Drops
For the Hay Fever Sufferer (Yes, Even in Winter)
Believe it or not, allergies don’t stop just because it’s cold outside. Indoor allergens like dust and pet dander can leave eyes red, itchy and watery, especially during the festive season when windows are shut and pets are inside3.
Stocking ideas:
- Hypoallergenic pillow covers
- A pocket pack of tissues
- Chamomile or nettle tea
- TheraTears® Irritation or Redness Eye Drops
For the Health-Conscious or Office Worker
If someone in your life takes their health seriously or spends long days in air-conditioned offices, dry, tired eyes might be part of their daily struggle.
Stocking ideas:
- Hydration tracker water bottle
- Desk humidifier
- Eye gel mask
- TheraTears® Dry or Tired Eye Drops
Final Thoughts
Stocking fillers don’t have to be throwaway trinkets. With just a little thought, they can be the most personal and practical gifts of the season. TheraTears eye drops are small enough to slip into any stocking, and meaningful enough to show you truly care.
