Sticking fillers for 12 year olds

[Shoeshelpplease]

Can I ask you what you are putting in the Xmas stockings of your twelve year old boys this year?

so far i have bought an adidas deodorant, some playstation controller 'skins', and some of these socks. watching with interest for other ideas!

A pritt stick? Well you did ask for sticking fillers!

Following with interest too!
In previous years it's been deodorants, sweets, undies, socks and just little Knick knacks ... which have escaped me right this second but will defo come back and update if I remember.
Put a harmonica in there once but was discarded fairly quickly unfortunately 😕

Ha! I've also got mine an adidas deodorant

Plus stationery for school. A book about football. Sweets. A book about the flags of the world.

It's really tough thinking of things.

I'm also thinking a new water bottle, socks, pants.

Watching with interest.

(Stocking is quite large)

i have just seen that hype do pants (plain black or gradient) so I'm going to order them since he likes the brand. waterbottle is a good idea @formerbabe since he does a lot of sports, i think i will see if sportsdirect have any tomorrow since i am popping along there anyway x

chocolate orange
chocolate santa & coins..some traditions you just dont give up on!!
large tub Jellytots,
lynx shower, body spray and seperate deodorant ( i know but he likes lynx)
a steam game gift card,
havent yet got but i know by xmas he will have lost pretty well all contents of pencil case so lots of stationary top ups, but i have got him a pencil case shaped like a tub of pringles i think he will get a laugh producing that at school,
a blootooth beanie hat,
novelty socks,
there will be lots of books, so wont fit in stocking there will be novels, fiction, fact books like guiness book of records, but i'll probably get one in the stocking possibly riddles or bad xmas jokes type one,
mc donald / cinema or similar vouchers,
still to get:
maybe something nurf related,
usually ill see a little toy or gaget he'd like, or sciency kit like grow your own crystals

last year got him a jar of nutella customised with his name on that was very sucessfull so may do something similar,

A portable charger pack for his phone.

I'm saying the title in the accent of the police officer in 'allo 'allo.

No suggestions just liked the sticking fillers title

Sorry for the title!

Some great ideas here. Love the Bluetooth beanie hat and its in my Amazon basket.

Great book ideas, going to look at those too, lets keep the suggestions coming.

I'm raising the snack section at to max lots of funky flavoured popcorn etc

@WellTidy can I ask where you got your weird flavour Fanta?

Alex rider stormbreaker books, bluetooth headset, spiderman far from home dvd (out next week), Nike trainers, lego and a cook book (he wants to be chef!!). Lynx deodorant, match attax collectors tin and some money.

Shoes, Our local sweet shop, Mr Simms. They have imported sweets and chocolates and drinks so it may be that it is imported from somewhere like the US

Just here to pinch the ideas. I'm clueless and severely lacking the motivation to get going this year. 12 years old is hard!

What's with all the lynx? This is obviously a thing then? My son would see it as a punishment and another chore, not a gift

Thanks Welltidy, I'll have a look in similar then. That would be a hit here.

A card game called trumpisms or something. You have to guess if it’s something that trump really said or not.

@AIBanUemployee I also said 'ahhh.. sticking fill-airs' in the voice of Monsieur LeClerc.

I have a box of 'retro British' sweets for DS, which I firmly intend to eat.

Shoes Lynx and Adidas type body sprays are really popular for preteen and early teen boys, so I’m told by friends. DS isn’t remotely interested yet but he is in the minority.

The Squires garden centre near me sell all sorts of American novelty sweets, plus they do all sorts of different flavoured Fantas too

Also it's the first year my son is not really into Lego anymore. It's been a tradition to get him a decent set every year, building up from the basic to complex as he had grown.

Will be a shame not to get him one this year as I know he would still enjoy building one but they are so expensive and he is not THAT into it all anymore

Last year I got him the Lego model of the car I had just bought so at least was topical but not sure this year.

Another element is that we will be away abroad so not wanting to carry lots of heavy stuff.

Can I ask also what you are getting as main gifts for your twelve year olds?

his main gift is going to be a second hand flick urban skills thing for football, and some airpods since the skills thing was a bargain
