I am the queen of plastic tat for stockings: it must keep them busy for a while as we don't do main presents until after breakfast, there must be an element of usefulness in at least one component, there must be chocolate coins, a Satsuma and a walnut.
This year I've gone for puzzles:
each one will get (as well as coins, Satsuma, nut)
a rubiks cube (not official)
a rubiks snake (not official)
a chinese puzzle box
a purse
a memory stick
a miniature Baymax nightlight (not official)
then depending on age/likes and dislikes they will get token socks or pants, lipbalm, a colouring book, some pens, some perfume, some post it notes and gel pens, toiletries etc.
This for five girls between 11 and 18. I have tried to keep it below £10 each but have gone over (£15) for a couple of them this year.
What do you put in your stockings?
