Urgent Stocking Filler Ideas!!

[zebedeetwinkle]

I am running out of time and ideas to fill my kids stockings, three girls aged 6 and twins 4.

So far I have

• Socks
• Underwear
• A Disney Doorable Surprise Pack
• An LOL Fashion Crush thing
• An LOL Bling Doll Ball

Any other ideas! Stockings are only half full!

Slime!

Go round the Christmas section in Asda or look in B&M or Poundland.

Gloves/mittens
Hat
Biscuit cutters
Slipper socks
Old fashioned sweets eg in a cone
Mini Lego figures eg Harry Potter ones, or Playmobil people
Clockwork mouse
Magnifying glass
Skipping rope

Are you talking about stocking as in a sock stocking as some suggestions here are what I call tree presents! As in the bits that go with their main present. For my DDs the most I could fit at their age was-

Magic gloves
Hair clips and bobbles
Tube of sweets
Water bottle for school
Bath bomb
Pom Pom key ring
Novelty lip gloss from claires

If a genuine stocking you wouldn't fit more than that!

Novelty Torch
Bubbles
A small puzzle
A satsuma
Pens
A barbie/monsters high/other action figure size doll
Bath stuff
Flavoured lip barm
Slipper socks
A book

Mine always got battery electric toothbrushes at that age

Most ‘stocking fillers’ are just inevitable landfill. Don’t worry about adding to it, just buy a few larger, more useful items and put those in.
Book
Poster
Chocolate
Snacks they especially like such as a packet of favoured biscuits, pringles, marshmallows, whatever...
Nice stationary
A rolled up band/special interest t-shirt
Mug

Stuff like that. Nothing to end up kicked under the sofa and forgotten about. Works for all ages.

agree about the slinky
agree choc coins and tangerine
Whoopee cushion
trick spider or poo
paper later excuse to post Hawkins Bazaar stuff
tangrams
magic painting book

Kinder Christmas chocolate & teddy
They take up lots of room!

Bouncy balls.
I raid Poundland for sweeties, books, colouring things, they have snowman crafting kits at ours, mugs, stickers etc.
Flannels and bath stuff
Stuff from the tescos pocket money aisle.
A little Lego man blind bag thing
A plastic man with a parachute
Glow sticks

A load of plastic tat that they don't need and haven't asked for that will probably end up in landfill by the end of January.

Torch
Binoculars

I always put a comic with all the freebies on the front and whichever ds game theyve been nagging for.

Guarantees me a few extra hours in bed >

I've got annuals, play doh, bubbles, one of those light up spinny wand things (It's a unicorn one we got from sainsburys) selection box, got some stuff from smyths to, we got a galaxy ball which lights up, washamals which are colour in animals. If they like lol the new lol hair series just came out

@DaisyDreaming I remember my brother and I getting light up spinning tops. They didn't play Christmas songs, Im pretty sure they both played greensleeves. I tried in vain to find similar for my own kids stockings this year but they don't seem to exist so I got LED fidget spinners instead. It doesn't feel like chairman morning without a light up toy in the stocking when it's still dark outside.

My boys are the same age and the pound shop was brilliant.
Bath fizzer
Sponge
Choc coins
Bookmark
Mini snow globe
Monogrammed hankercheives (ds1 asked for these in September!)

I am trying to cut down on plastic tat this year so, colouring books, selection box, books, soft toy, pjs, box of Pringles/candy pop corn. Christmas crackers is a great idea, stealing that one.

Hair clips
Crayons
Erasers / pencil sharpeners etc
Little teddy / beanie
Mini colouring book
