I've seen the previous thread with website for stocking fillers, but wondered if anyone had any bright ideas for what to actually put inside the stockings.

So far all I've got is a box of Minstrels, chocolate coins, a toothbrush (it's a tradition) and a pack of pens. I prefer to get things that will be used rather than plastic rubbish that is forgotten once the main presents are open (unless it's really cheap plastic tat!) Last year I put in bubble bath and DD thought FC had mixed up the stockings as it was such a random thing to give her! Hmm
