Anyone got any amazing stocking filler ideas, for a 12 year old boy? I'm scrolling the internet endlessly, but can't find anything... Preferably below £10. Tia

Single cinema tickets/trampoline park tickets, batteries, batteries, batteries, body sprays.....I have a couple of kids that all can wear same size (ish) by the mystery boxes of tshirts (geek or rock style) work out about £3 each good for stocking or bulking birthday pressies and look much more expensive!

Mine is 11. He’s getting a bottle of Fentimans Ginger beer, random but it’s what he wants. A choc orange, a bath bomb, electric toothbrush, deodorant, shower gel and a Lego minifigure.

Thanks for the ideas. Some good ones there. Funnily enough, my Ds has also asked for Fentimans, he wants the cola though.

Saw a penguin pocket Joke book in Waterstones the other day. Got it for my DS’s secret Santa at school. We were in hysterics reading some of the jokes. (Was the end of the day and we were tired). Was about £6.

Our pharmacy as a Storm Trooper soap-on-a-rope that my grandson, 7, might get, £3.50.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 13/12/2018 12:32

Ever since my dses were that age, I have been putting hot chocolate powder, squirty cream and mini marshmallows in their stockings - that always goes down well.

They get a big tube of Smarties too, and it isn't Christmas morning until one of them (now 21, 23 and 25) has a mouthful of squirty cream and smarties! Xmas Grin

Socks/Pjs/pants/toiletries (stuff he needs anyway)
Bath bomb
Sketch pad/note book
Choc orange
I often put in some sort of interesting facts/world records type book or annual.
Big bag of popcorn

Stationery, chocolate (reindeer poo still amuses at this age), toiletries, puzzlebook, joke book, anything relating to a hobby, eg lego/bike multi tool/sports kit/small science museum type kit, silly photobooth accessories from Tiger if they have a cameraphone. How to draw cartoons book, sketch pad and pencils - one on how to draw cartoon dogs was a hit with a couple of 12 yo a couple of years ago. Some of the silly stuff for adult men works well for older boys as well.
