A Great Stocking Stuffer
Stockings are a big part of our holiday celebration. From the candy cane handing on the edge to the orange in the toe it’s a tradition that we all love and I suspect we’re not alone. That’s why I’ve been on the look for gardener goodies that can fit in a stocking and I’ve found a great one. It’s O’Keeffe’s Working Hand Hand Cream and I keep a tub of it by the kitchen sink to help moisturize my hands.
It’s light, not scented (great for people like me who are allergic to a lot of scents) and it works really well on dry, cracked hands which is what I have year round from adventures in the garden and in cooking and cleaning. I’ve found it online in several sizes and can also be ordered in a tube. If you have cracked dry skin o n your hands it’s worth checking out!
