Stocking Fillers That Keep Going: Refillable Natural Deodorant Gifts for Christmas
By Salt of the Earth
The best stocking fillers are the ones that actually get used. Perhaps not the novelty socks, not the fourth candle of the season, but the small, everyday things someone reaches for every morning. A natural deodorant fits the bill nicely: it is useful, it smells lovely, and if it is refillable, it keeps going long after the wrapping paper has gone in the recycling. Here are our favourite gifts by budget, from a £4.49 stocking stuffer to trios for the whole family.
Salt of the Earth is a family-owned natural deodorant brand making deodorants in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire since 1993. Our sprays, roll-ons, sticks and balms are certified 100% COSMOS Natural by the Soil Association, registered with the Vegan Society and certified by Cruelty Free International.
What is the best stocking filler under £5?
Our Crystal Travel Deodorant is £4.49 and small enough to tuck into the toe of a stocking. It is a single ingredient, potassium alum, a naturally occurring mineral salt: wet it, glide it on, done. No scent, nothing to spill in a washbag. Like all our crystals, it is registered with the Vegan Society and certified by Cruelty Free International.
What makes a good Secret Santa gift under £10?
A festive scent they would not buy for themselves. Our Spiced Gingerbread Natural Deodorant Spray is back for the colder months as a limited edition: sweet orange and cardamom, peach and cinnamon, and a warm base of cedarwood, vanilla and tonka bean. It is £7.49, it smells like a kitchen on a Sunday afternoon, and it is a Secret Santa gift that is not another candle. It also comes as a Spiced Gingerbread Refillable Roll-On, also £7.49.
Shopping for someone who prefers something less festive? Our Lavender & Vanilla Natural Deodorant Spray is our most-reviewed scented spray and available in UK retailers such as Boots and Waitrose. Or try the brand new Aloe & Lime Natural Deodorant Spray, which only launched this autumn, so there is a good chance they will not have it yet. Both are £7.49.
For something with no plastic in the packaging at all, the Amber & Sandalwood Natural Deodorant Balm is £9.99. Warm notes of spice, citrus and berries over cedar and sandalwood make it a cosy winter pick.
What should I buy if I want to spend a bit more?
One of our trios. Each one puts three products in a themed set, so the person you are buying for can try a few scents and find a favourite. They are all £20.22, and there is one for most people on your list:
- Naturally Bold Refillable Roll-On Trio: Vetiver & Citrus, Amber & Sandalwood and Ocean & Coconut. Also available as a Naturally Bold Spray Trio.
- Fresh Florals Spray Trio, or the Fresh Florals Refillable Roll-On Trio.
- Everyday Fresh Kids Spray Trio or the Everyday Fresh Kids Refillable Roll-On Trio, for children and teenagers starting out with deodorant.
You can see every set on our bundles page.
How do you give a gift that keeps going after Christmas?
Pair a refillable bottle with a refill. Most stocking fillers are finished by Boxing Day. A refillable deodorant is designed to be topped up rather than thrown away, so the bottle you give this Christmas can still be in use next Christmas.
Pop a refillable spray in the stocking and an Aloe & Lime Spray Refill Pouch 300ML (£17.99) under the tree. That pouch tops the spray up to three times with up to 85% less plastic by weight than buying three new bottles. We have been making refills since 2013, and you can see the full range on our refills page or read how refillable deodorant works.
Why give a natural deodorant this Christmas?
Because it is a small gift with a story behind it. Buying from us means supporting a family-owned business that makes its sprays, roll-ons, sticks and balms in Hampshire (the exception is our crystal range), employs people on the real Living Wage, and has picked up two King's Awards for Enterprise along the way. It also means a deodorant that tackles odour without blocking sweat, made with ingredients of natural origin and certified to the COSMOS Natural standard.

Frequently asked questions
Is deodorant a good stocking filler?
Yes, if it is one they will enjoy using. A natural deodorant in a festive scent, or a refillable spray or roll-on, is a small, useful gift that gets used every day rather than forgotten in a drawer. Our stocking fillers start from £4.49.
What is a good Secret Santa gift under £10?
Our natural deodorant sprays and refillable roll-ons cost £7.49, and our limited edition Spiced Gingerbread scent is made for the season. Our deodorant balms are £9.99 and come in plastic-free packaging.
How do refillable deodorant gifts work?
You give the refillable spray or roll-on bottle, and when it runs out it can be topped up from a refill pouch or bottle instead of being replaced. A 300ml spray refill pouch tops up a spray up to three times with up to 85% less plastic by weight than buying three new bottles.
