I know he's too old for a stocking but I did one last yr & feel like I should do one again. But what to put in it? I have chocolAte coins and deodorant Blush

Am ill and unable to think for myself.

DP and me only do stockings this year as we have everything we need, but it's just a little treat for each other.

In addition to various chocolates and nuts he likes he is getting:

  • a mug for work (found a Mr Grumpy one at Asda for £4 today)
  • keyring with DS's picture
  • bookmark
  • book from his favourite author
  • razor
  • shower gel
  • socks
  • t-shirts
  • ??? (still thinking, he is not easy to buy for)

Last year he got a scarf, hat and gloves which could be also classed as stocking fillers.

Christmas socks
Little crossword or sudoku book

Book mark, puzzle book & magazine = fab ideas thank you. Men are a nightmare to buy for.
