If you are giving your DH/DP a stocking full of goodies......

[DarcieandSnowballsmum]

What goodies are you putting in, as I've come up blank as to what to put inside. So ideas much appreciated thanks

I go to Poundland and stuff it full of crap A diary, sweets, chocolate, body sprays, shower gel etc. He is always surprised at how much I get and yet don't spend that much on things that are gone within a month!

I hate the shop though, too busy so I go before work at 8!

I think DP would be happy if I just stuffed his stocking with Chocolate lol!

Mine too and I don't get lovely expensive as he prefers Dairy Milk and is like a big kid - eating it before dinner! Also, a cute little card to put in his wallet from card shops, e.g. 'How Much I Love You', or pictures of DC or a picture of the both of you to put in there. I love stockings - best part! - and I tend to get carried away!

DP is a cadburys man lol. Good idea about a picture - can't get one done until I drop this baby (due anyday now)! Could get a new wallet to put in there I guess!

Dh is getting silly socks, a wind-up pacman, cufflinks and hydrophobic sand. And chocolate. And beer.

Also a note in the toe of the stocking that says "I love you, now make me a cup of tea, love Bertha"

Bertha Loving the note

I'm doing a stocking for DP for the first time this year. I think I have got carried away as DD is too young to really appreciate christmas. It's been a bit difficult as DP has a health condition that means he can't eat any sugar, so all chocolate and sweets are out. I have got him so far:
a paperback book (second hand in Oxfam)
a head massager
a bottle of beer
some beef jerky
an older DVD (also second hand)
a torch

I also include something a bit rude - a 'voucher' for something naughty or a - ahem - toy of some sort. Obviously that's not a good idea if you open your stockings in front of the family

Stabucks Gift Card
Krispy Kremes Gift Card - both have local drive through's and he's driving all day at work.
Chocolate
Sprays
Shower gel
Shave foam
Sweets
Scratchcard
Comedy DVD

And this year he will be getting a note at the bottom too Bertha requesting a Bucks Fizz!

So far my DP has a
crystal growing kit,
pens, some highlighters, some post-it notes (all for his office), s
chocolate coins,
some jelly beans,
deodorant,
shower gel,
shower sponge thingy,
moleskin note book.

So far my dp is getting, deodorant, shower gel, shave gel & razor, keyring hip flask from quid shop, chocolate, couple of bike accessories from quid shop, gloves, scarf & a bottle of aftershave. He took money for my present a few weeks ago but has asked me for Modern Warfare 3 and a couple of other x-box related things in the after Xmas sales so I'm just going to keep adding random bits from Poundland until Xmas. Oh, I'll probably bung some footy related things in too, socks/shorts because he could do with some new ones but won't take the cash for them at this time of year.

I just found these which look good: basically, teensy Lego - I got the piano one, which comes in a sachet, for DH's stocking.

Thanks Ladies, this is giving me great ideas

Based on my own ideas and in tips from here and other threads, I am putting in:

Dairy milk Turkish delight (I hate it, he loves it)
Pork scratchings
Magazine (probably a foodie one, maybe Viz)
Scratchcard
Percy Pigs
Probably a Lego figure I will make myself in the Lego store

This is brilliant thanks all

Socks - novelty ones natch
Cd - 2012
Drumstick lollies
Scratchcard
Toiletries
Photo paperweight with pic of kids in

Not very exciting but he's getting stone roses tickets for his main present so he can be bloody grateful!

DH gets. Socks, magazines, cheap books, silly novelty gift, bottle of wine and some other small bits and pieces but not sure what I'm going to do this year.

Blimey i cant remember what i have bought for dh stocking....

an ale
new boxers
tube of sourtastic haribo
mullet top trumps
...will have a wee look later and add the other things...

what are mullet top trumps Ja9?

a wee fit of fun

thanks Ja9. Yes, I can see that should provide a few chuckles.

I've bought DH a thingy for winding his ipod earphones round so the wires stay all neat. It was £2 from M&S.

So far i've put in:

Novelty Socks
Sweets
Toblerone
Tigger Showergel
Hairbrush

Will have Hangover Part 2 on dvd in there when I get it too.

Is that enough do you think?

Seems enough to me. I've only got one thing so far, special "book repair" scotch tape. We're just starting the page-tearing years.

I haven't done his stocking yet but it will contain some or all of:

Pork pie
Garners pickled onions
Guinness
Chocolate (lots of)
Bombay mix
Peanuts
Japanese rice crackers
A word game (if they are still half price in M&S!)
A puzzle book
Shower gel

I am also doing him a 'Running box' containing

running gloves and socks
energy bars
glucose sweets
nasty post-run drink
magazine
brazil nuts
muscle soak
If anybody has more suggestions for what to put in this, that would be great.
