Thanks to MN Advanced Search I have all the DC's stocking presents! Thank you.

[Taffeta]

I did an Advanced Search for Stocking present ideas, ordered a little online and just back from the shops with my list and I got the lot.

I can't quite believe it.

fyi - thanks to your recommendations I got:

• Patterned fairy plasters from H & M
• Fart putty from Hawkins
• Chop your Finger off toy from Hawkins
• Marshmallow fluff
• Whoopee cushion from Hawkins

I also got:

• fairy shrinkles
• magic slates
• fairy dust
• lip balm
• craft stuff
• stationery stuff
• sweet stuff
• Deadly 60 cards
• bath stuff

My DC are 5 (DD) and 8 (DS).

Whats on your stocking list for your DC?

a book
Minfig of some sort (prob playmobil)
Chocolate
Christmas socks or pants
Squished-up flannel
Toothbrush
Satsuma

[Traditionalist]

notecards and envelope set
necklace
slipper-socks
stickers

Top trumps
Umbrellas
Set of plastic sharks for the bath

And socks and pants of course :)

Got to have chocolate coins in the stocking ;)

Several rolls of PVC tape for 3yo DS, he keeps using all of mine up!

DS is 3 and in his stocking will be:

Socks
Chocolate coins
Bob the builder walkie talkies (from ebay)
Couple of bob the builder figures
Train set engine

Still to get novelty plasters, flannel and some stickers.

I use this site - it was recommended by someone on here about 3 years ago, i think. I love the traditional stuff, I can't bear the amount of plastic tat my DC's end up getting.

I used tickseed last year, fantastic stocking fillers, very east to spend a lot of money with three children though.

balia, that is a great site!

Done! £60 and all stockings will be filled, only need fruit and a selection pack now.

Love the tickseed site! Thanks very much!

Selection packs aren't reduced in Sainsbo's yet, so I'm holding out.....have lots to buy for other people's DC.

Thank you MrsVW dd will love the matchbox doll and mouse

I got a huge box from tickseed (LOADS of things for £40) and that was practically everything for the stockings (for 3 teens and 3 LOs) in one fell swoop I just need chocolate coins for the toes and a chocolate santa to stick out of the top of each one, and a few fun size bars for in between and that's it.
