Stocking gifts, not expensive, older children

DD is Y6, just turned 11, and DS Y4, just turned 9. What are your children around this age getting in their stockings?

Our added complications: DD is not very into bath stuff - she doesn't really see the point. DS is possibly autistic, bright but not really into many "things".

I'm thinking of keeping it simple this year with a new water bottle each in their favourite colours (marshmallows inside?), and chocolate. Really stumped on other bits and pieces. They don't need pants/socks/flannels and they are growing out of party bag type toys. I'd love to hear any other ideas.

OP here. Thanks to everyone else who's shared their ideas. Really nice to see some quite short lists too, like ours!

I've added:
Spy stuff (codebreaking kit, shades with rearview mirrors)
Showergel (foaming stuff was genius)
Pom pom keyring/ little toy on keyring
Birdie warbling whistles

I think DD will get some gel pens too and I love the idea of those milkshake straws.

I get the milkshake straws from B&M.

Yes I got mine in B&M as well, in fact I think I got all the stocking bits from B&M
