There is a fine art to the stocking stuffer gift whether it’s something you wouldn’t normally buy for yourself, a speciality item that’s new to you or that super practical-something that makes you smack your head and say, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Here are my stocking stuffers under $40 as seen on NBC’s Today show!

FOOD

Truffle Honey, The Truffleist  $22 for 5.5 oz, truffleist.com

Here’s a stocking stuffer that will make you immeasurably popular with the foodies. All products from The Truffleist, which is produced here in New York are infused with truffle. Here is their Truffle Honey, a blend of local, wild flower honey from the Finger Lakes, NY and infused with black summer truffles from Tuscany. It’s delicious on a cheese board, drizzled on a beet and goat cheese arugula salad, atop a crostini appetizer or glazed on salmon and my favorite…dribbled on butter pecan ice cream for a salty sweet treat.
