The thread where we all share our great stocking fillers ideas

[BitOutOfPractice]

ie. the thread where you all give me great stocking filler ideas

Fire away oh wise MNers

Lush have a new FUN bar out for Christmas which I think is a fab stocking filler.FUN is soap/bubbles/multipurpose and in playdoh form-a nice sausage of modelling fun you can wash with!

The new Christmas one is a snowman kit,rather than the usual one colour.It's largely white with the rest being black and orange ready to make your own snowman soap/bubbles.

It's awesome (and fun for adults too!)

I have a 10-year old and 13-year old.

'real' chocolate hot choc pack
One of those choc lollies to stir in a hot drink + mini marmallows

Any mini make-up/toiletries samples I can blag at the posher make-up counters
book lights
bookmarks
cupcake toppings and paper cases if I can find some unusual ones
dvds/cds
chocolate orange
gloves which you can still use smart phones with
ear muffs
RSPB bird badges
popping candy

Oh I knew you lot would come up trumps!

My 6yo DS is getting:
Wooden tic tac toe game
Goalkeeper gloves

Stocking so far has

Simpsons dvd

The rest I'm stuck at could do with 3/4 more things.

Mine will include : secret spy pen, chocolate coins & Cadbury animal, frozen necklace, hair clips, bubble bath, magazine, stickers, second-hand sylvanian families & Polly Pocket, Nativity DVD, knickers, t-shirt, bits from charity shops, inflatable dinosaur, knitted dinosaur, fairy dust.
Some things are the same in both stockings but other things vary.

I've bought DD a monkey shaped nail dryer and will buy nail polish too. Was v cheap on amazon compared to shops (£2) but came from China so order early

And a puzzleman toy for DS.

Will top up with sweets, underwater, socks and a cd. Thankfully our stockings are small.

spotty, I was thinking of getting my DS a novelty ice cube tray because I liked them (I saw space invader, lego brick and lego men ones) but decided that a 6yo wouldn't be that excited by it! Do you think an 11yo might like something like that?

Also shamelessly marking place. Haven't even started stocking shopping yet!

I have a teen boy :
Something sweet (Selection box)
Something to wear (big bang t shirt)
Something to love (minecraft ocelot)
Something to read (what if? Randall Munroe)

My DCs, various ages, love ice cubes in novelty shapes. They get on my nerves taking up space in freezer.

My older ones are getting mini brollies
I will get the cineworld voucher that buys entry and popcorn mentioned on another thread
They'd also love coffe shop voucher for non tax paying chain!

Treaty foods they're not normally allowed / we don't normally buy - huge box of coco pops, bubble gum, this year their own stash of Oreos (DH doesn't like them, so we never but them, DDs always fight over them) plus chocolate galore.

Essential clothes items they need - vests, pants, socks, gloves, pjs etc...

Things they need for their hobbies. New leotards etc...

Some things for fun. New board game, DVD, CD, books etc...

Something they've asked for

And then any little bits I see that I think they'll want or need. Our DDs get huge sacks with mostly practical presents in and a few things just for fun. Their main gifts comes from us under the tree.

AuntySib what about a new case for the kindle or amazon voucher so they can download kindle books to their hearts content?
