What did you used to get in your stocking!

[HelloIsitXmasTreeYoureLookingF]

I'm in my forties now so distant memory
But oranges, chocolate and few toys

Tangerines, chocolate money, walnuts and a couple of small toys

Satsuma.
Brazil nuts in shells. Think mum thought we'd be kept occupied trying to break the shells with our teeth
Clouring book and crayons.
Magazines, bunty, Judy or Misty.
Paper dolls in a book with dressing up clothes.
Magic drawing slate.

I'm in my late forties.

I'm in my mid-30s.

Chocolate coins
Satsuma
Book
Minis from the Body Shop
Something small, like a coin purse
Magic trick

Terry's chocolate orange
A real orange
Magazine
New mug with hot choc sachet and mini marshmallows
Gloves
A book
Mini body spray

One year I did get a lump of coal.

I'm late 20s sorry missed that bit.

Mid 20s. Chocolate coins, books, paints and contouring pencils etc.

My family didn’t do stockings when i was wee in the 90s. We used to get one of those selection boxes that came in a net stocking.
We do stockings for our dc with chocolate coins, a satsuma, a toothbrush, a tube of smarties and a little toy (e.g. hot wheels car).

A satsuma , nuts , chocolate coins and socks (still get the same )

I'm well over 40 but I got similar to above except with the addition of an annual every year so Beano when younger, Bunty when a bit older. Have carried this on for DC but with minecraft annual for eg. Hoping the combination of sweets and a book keeps them quiet for a bit!

I so much loved opening a stocking

When I was under about 12 the stocking was a pair of mums tights! We would get a satsuma, chocolate coins, nuts in shells, little toys. As we got older more toiletries like hair bubbles, cotton wool, face wipes, nail polish, random stuff like a sewing kit.
We used to sneak the nutcracker upstairs on Christmas eve so we could have the nuts!

Oh those magic trees, yes!

Late 30s...

Chocolate orange
Colouring pencils
Cheapy novelty toys
Novelty books - like joke books / fact books
Bubble bath or soap

I never had an actual stocking until I was 31 when I met hubby!! Santa would leave a black bag with presents and parents would leave a couple under the tree

Didn't have one

I'm 43. I used to get chocolate coins, bubbles, polystyrene glider, bouncy ball, random little pocket money type toys, jokes, magic tricks.

One year my dad snuck those cork popgun things in and my mum was not impressed. We played with them all day, and they were really loud and annoying.

Yy. A satsuma, choc coins, a trick, some small toys. When I was older there was some cosmetics etc. Seriously stockings are the best! We always used one of my dad's socks and I got a stocking from my parents until I was 24 . Mid thirties now.

We had a pillow case but can of coke, tangerine, chocolate coins and selection pack, jokes like whoopee cushions, those magic crystal tree things...

Always a fortune telling fish (actually still get this as MIL does stockings for everyone including adults )

I'm 52 so it's a very distant memory of a pillowcase with satsuma, chocolate, little jigsaw or something.

I’m in my 40s and we got an actual long sock stuffed with very small items left at the end of our bed.

Inside we might find pencils, scented erasers, small stationery set, ribbons for our hair, dinky little toys, Bodyshop lip balms and bath pearls in later days - with a satsuma, nuts and chocolate coins at the bottom.

Absolutely loved it!

I remember a cracker, pound coin, chocolate coins and an Annual. Sure there was a lot more though!
