What are you buying your late teens/early twenties as "fun" bits in their stockings??

[loveyouradvice]

I've got lots of food, christmas socks and make up so already feels quite good... but needs something frivolous to make them laugh....

Last year they got two wind-up walking brussel sprouts so we could race them

Any other ideas?

What are you putting in yours?

Cans of cocktails
PJ's
Pants
Face masks
Strange Korean snacks
Moisturiser
Favourite cereal
Chilli oil
Truffle oil

Socks and underwear
Scratch cards
Chocolate orange for one and Bounties for the other
Some mini travel toiletries (

One tip is just to type “mini”
in to supermarket search engine and see what comes up!

There’s some good ideas on this thread

Im thinking something to make now too and popping candy thanks @marmitegirl01 and everyone !

Mine have personalised Nutella jars, sheet masks, and I got a little make up sponge washing machine from tiger! They always have a bath bomb from lush too

Sleeping masks can be fun. We've had a game that when you pull it out of your stocking, you have to wear it over your eyes, and guess something in your stocking by feel.

We all have stockings too. From 12 year old DS going through all the age groups right up to my 78 year old DM.
Notebooks
Calendars- I know we have phones, but I tind a calendar in kitchen very useful
Nice pens
Fancy hot chocolate bomb
Fun lip balms
Banana trainer/shoe deodoriser
Speaker for the shower
Face creams
Face wash
A Christmas novel-usually a bit murdery or mystery
PS5 game
Astronaut starry sky/galaxy projector
Fluffy hot water bottle
Favourite chocolates and sweets
Designer boxer shorts
Socks
Fancy shower gel
Christmas bath bombs
Magnet game
Personalised water bottle
A small hot milkbbattery operated whisk
Secateurs
Flower seeds/vegetable seeds
De-icer for the car drivers
Hair grips
Fancy shampoo/conditioner
Obviously this isn't for the same person. Just thinking of the older teenagers/grown up recipients we've got staying this year.

Cactus shaped tea light candles, a windscreen scraper glove, selection box, hat and gloves, socks.

Those individual Face masks always go down well too.

This is what we do too

DH and I still do stockings and he is now retired. Fun isn't just for people under the age of 10!

Mine so far have got chocolate sprouts, some sweets, new key rings, hot chocolate sachet, novelty toothpaste. Will bulk out with new pants, shower gel etc. plus obligatory satsuma.

I'm 57 and my mam still makes me and my 53 year old brother stockings, it's fun

Our oldest ones are 19 and 20 and were adamant they wanted stockings as opposed to the extra cash. Their stockings are filled with useful/wanted/frivolous things, they are very expensive to put together but I know they will like and use everything.
I haven’t bought everything yet and I don’t think I’ve included everything but off the top of my head…

cant remember what else, it might look over the top and there will be more I’ve forgotten - obviously they know there’s no Father Christmas and it’s all from us, it’s just the smaller things that fit in. They have pillowcases they decorated when little so still the same ones.

Oh, they both have little nanobrick sets and a bottle of booze each too.

I don't have much to add as my teen is getting mostly chocolate in his, but thank you for the ideas.

Love this 🥰

Always a new packet of playing cards!
puzzle book

There’s some lovely ideas here. Just ordered my son a wind up Santa ! Thankyou for that idea.

like the nose ring idea too, perfect for my daughter

Haven't bought much yet but slipper socks, candles, chocolate coins, chocolate santa, bath bombs or bubble bath, something for their hair, favourite tipple - that kind of thing. Both over 18.

It's the part of Christmas shopping I love most. 😁

Christmas doesn’t stop just because they are adults… how dull. I’m sure they’ve got her something too.

Adult funny colouring books!

There’s also a lot of people with zero empathy roaming around.

Last year I found one of my adult DS a Lego keyring with a little figure on.
A giant Star Wars dot to dot book.
A Darth Vader air freshener for car.
Marvel Superman socks.
The year before last I found a double duvet with Marvel characters on.

I still put my stocking up and so does DH. Santa comes to my house. We must be on the nice list.
