[BitOutOfPractice]

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

Fire away oh wise MNers

Sorry for drop feed..!
Body shop do Xmas themed sponges, normally part of a deal, we had the gingerbread ones from last year

m.thebodyshop.co.uk/h5/products?path=%2Fgifts%2Fview-all-christmas-gifts%2Fbob-the-polar-bear-bath-sponge.aspx

My 13yr old is getting a bit old for plastic tat too, unfortunately. This year, I thought I would include some sort of shower wash for the first time, maybe a USB stick, a Guinness book of records or Ripley's book, Chelsea boxers/goalie gloves, slipper socks, perhaps a DVD/film downloaded onto the iPad to occupy until the olds surface. He also still likes novelty things like expandable flannels and obviously, anything edible!

Nine year old dd will get the usual tat - stationery, lush products, stickers, stampers, nail decoration kit .....

Ooh, igloves went down well last year.

Dd's are 8 and 10, so far I have got them

Lego mini figures (simpsons)
Hat and gloves from primark
Purse
Hair bands
Chocolate orange
Chocolate coins
Sewing kit ( dd2 )
Stationary
Tooth brush
Body spray ( dd1 )
Hair chalk
Lip balm
Bath bomb
Shower gel ( body shop chocolate flavoured)

DS age 5, DD will be just 4:

DVD
Chocolate Santa
Chocolate coins
Cellophane 'cone' bag with assorted sweets (the local soft play sells these but I refuse to buy them)
Funky little torches DH bought from somewhere
Dalek fridge magnets (DS)
sonic screwdriver (DS)
Anna/Elsa/Olaf set (DD)
Some kind of hair accessory or lipgloss (DD)
Stickers
Mr Men book
Bubbles

I will try to make myself stick at that. I probably won't, though... that's the peril of buying early.

Thanks for suggestion for teen boys.
Previously I have bought screen gloves (very well received by gamers), hot chocolate kit,posh shaving cream for DH,books,( The BookPeople have some great deals)mini lynx stuff for PE kits, popcorn holders,screen wipes.
This year have found jersey pillowcases in Muji ( also nice underwear), jacobs ladder game for fidgety 14 year old, bendy straws ( they all like these|!) Owl light in Tiger, might get Playstation magazine. Tiger is quite good generally for odd bits.
Am thinking of Sherlock Cluedo for family board game.
TK Maxx for nice PJ bottoms ( £12.99 for nice brushed cotton ones - they also had jersey ones), Primark for onesies,( also £12.99). Looking for glasses repair kit.
For guitar players, I just discovered a plectrum press - works like a hole punch.

Just spotted this on Amazon...perhaps good for those with 3 children as they can have one each! Yes, it's a bit of tat, but it's a fun cheap stocking filler and my DC will love them!

For 6yo:
Train
Notepad
Pen
Ruler
Eraser
Sharpener
Pencil case filled with felt pens
Dinosaur in an egg that grows when you water it
3D thing which takes an imprint of whatever you push against it

Slipper socks
Bouncy light up ball

Lowering the tone.

Fart Whistles
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002C75ZMW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_3I.yub1DJD5DP.

Whisky miniatures (obviously not for teens but you can get mini coke/fanta/sprite cans)

Lego has some great little stocking fillers. Like a snowman and reindeer you can build, they have some Lego in baubles to put on the tree and some very cute little animal things in packets for only 2.99 and a heap more other Christmassy stuff.

fart whistles...inflatable guitars...
home bargs have an iced cookie paint set for 99p,
playmobil mini figs, satsuma

Satsuma
walnuts
chocolate coins
scarf
wooden puzzle
purse
touch gloves
lip balm
memory stick

...for girls between 10 and 17 (walk to school/bus stop, hence so much useful stuff)

I've got my anxious non-sleeping DD a little bag of Guatemalan worry dolls for her stocking.
