If you know and love someone living with vitiligo, you may know how to make them laugh and what makes them tick—but you may not always know the best personal care products for them. Conversely, maybe you live with vitiligo, but your friends and family sometimes miss the mark when shopping for you. That’s why we’ve curated this handy guide to the best stocking stuffers for someone living with vitiligo, from sun safety and self care to vitiligo pride.
Consider this your holiday cheat sheet—happy gifting!
