Stocking fillers for my DM?

I'm stuck for ideas on what I can put in a stocking for my DM, we've. Never done stockings but I started to a few years a go when I moved in with my now XP. This year I'm having Christmas with my mum and DD and will be doing stockings again and for the dogs but I don't have a clue on what I can put in hers? Any ideas would be great

Everyday your amazing!!!! The only thing I can add to that fab list is a magazine rolled up, and I usually put in a small pair of earrings too.

Haha everyday thank you! My mum isn't in easy one to buy for, doesn't wear make up, doesn't use creams and doesn't drive. The chocolates and miniature perfumes are great ideas, where can I get freebies? And the picture of DD is great too

Oh yes, small jewellery pieces. Earrings are good as you say, I also like brooches.
A fine chiffon or silk scarf.
Magazine is a good tip I hadn't thought of. I'll steal that one for my lovely DSDs (they do like these - by the truck loads!). Thanks

Perfume counters at Debenhams usually have freebie samples. Usually they put a couple in the bag when you buy a perfume, but they'll give them out if you just ask if they have any little samples available that day. If you don't ask, you don't get and they don't know you from Adam….Xmas Grin

Something for the kitchen, like a new spatula or cookie cutters.
