[WellTidy]

I have some ideas, but would love more. I try not to buy throwaway tat, and am happy to spend a bit. My ideas for anyone who may find them helpful

Coloured pritt sticks
Rollerball pens
Chocolate
Jelly beans
Chocolate covered raisins or cranberries
Novel
Paper planes
Magazine
Small Lego set
Travel clock
Undies
Christmas socks
Toothbrush and toothpaste (scraping the barrel here)

Other years I have put in
Dobble (Star Wars theme)
Felt pens
Paint your own photo frame or money box type thing

Mini torch/tape measure/multi tool type thing?
Stuff they sell st the science museum? Like Miniature telescope?
Lynx
Mini brain puzzle/fidget things
Hair wax

Placemarking!
Can of coke, because that's the only thing Mummy says no to!
Puzzle book (suduko usually)
This was an absolute hit last year

Thanks for the ideas. Also thought of

Harry Potter mug
Unusual flavour pringles
Top trumps - maybe a bit too young for him now though

In the past - uno

Following for ideas!

So far I’ve got my 11yo DS
Book - Time travelling with a hamster
Small alarm clock
Gaming socks
Magnetic sculpture thing
Book of hand shadows (don’t ask but he’ll like this!)
Hype smellies set - from Boots.

Also getting hair gel, chocolate orange or something similar, poster, beanie hat, nice pen, maybe a novelty ice cube tray and possibly the energy stick pp posted upthread!

Space food (the freeze dried stuff astronauts eat)
Drinks bottle
Wallet
Key ring
Lip balm

Young 11

erasable markers
CMYK pen
Harry Potter chocolate frog
Giant cola bottle (Poundland)
Unusual lego pieces (shark, skeleton,spider)
Harry Potter Maurader map
Minecraft t-shirt
Bath bomb
New pencil case (probably)
Choc coins
Orange (inevitably)

Space food is a great call!

I have a young 11yo too Barbarara, your suggestions are spot on for my DS. I should have said bath bombs in my OP as I always get them. I will buy quite a few of what you've listed.

Something that my DS likes but may be too young for others is Color My Bath water colour changing tablets. I buy the tub of 300 for 312.99 on amazon. You can get smaller tubs. Ive bought them multiple times and they are excellent value, don't stain at all, and last forever. There are large ones and small ones in there. I would 100% recommend.

Also the crackle bath (quite expensive for what it is though, it does exactly the same in the bath as a packet of sweets crackles would) and the bubble bath that changes colour when you add it to water. All on amazon.

£12.99 not 312.99! (I wouldn't be buying multiple of them if they were!)

Place making!

Individual magic tricks
Penknife

LOVE the idea of space food! It’s on the list!

Other ideas are juggling balls, torpedo magnets, spud gun, lemon clock and one of those crystal growing trees.

calendar
smart phone gloves (the ones with a special mesh patch on the finger), if smart phone enabled
Batteries
Annual (DS1 is 12 and still likes a Beano annual)
Memory stick?

Ds2 is 11 and still likes a cuddly sitting on the top of his stocking - I usually get the kinder one that costs a fiver - just hoping they have some new animals as he has had most of them already over the years!

The Beano Christmas/winter special usually goes in (annual is a present under the tree, he also has a subscription so will have the ordinary comic. But for anyone whose dc are not subscribers, the last issue before Xmas is usually a double one and it usually has good freebies in it to have as a comic to roll up in the stocking).

Pants and socks and maybe T-shirt to be worn on the day - no faffing around looking for something clean to wear.

Deboxed choc Orange (don’t want a replay of discovering the uneaten satsuma in a manky bedroom corner in June 🤮 - luckily it had mummified more than decomposed into mush.

Set of drawing pencils from hard to soft as ds needs them for school now.

Sprout/Xmas pud juggling balls

Placemarkimg and adding my own

Brush pens
Sketch pad
Charcoal
Air clay
Gloves
Lindt reindeer
Roadblox token if I get stuck!

The other thing the dc have liked getting is a new soft fleece throw from Asda - about £6. They last really well and wash well to come up looking like new. Thinking of getting the fortnite/minecraft ones this year - at least they won’t look too Christmassy when they used in June as they do!

Worry doll keyring
Keyring of any sort
Stationary either for school or homework
Sketchpad
Gingerbread man
Scratch art
Small voucher for amazon/iTunes etc.
Pyjamas

Box of Novelty cereal from the American shelves in Tesco
A bottle of unusual pop

(Actually we used these to bulk out a sack now filled with v small tech gifts)

Poster for bedroom wall

Some ideas mine has had over the past couple of years

Monopoly deal
Shin pads
Power bank
Charger cables
Jelly bean roulette
Potato clock
Lego tape
Robo fish
Football magazine
Keyring
Initial 20p coin (great British coin hunt)

He still likes to get a few novelty bits such as polystyrene gliders and fortune telling fish. Think his favourite ever stocking gift was a joke cockroach, that little blighter has made me jump almost every day for the past two years

Oh yes and he loves astronaut ice cream too

A game like Fluxx (there are lots of variants) might be more suitable than Top Trumps. Our DSs (9 and 12) particularly like Pirate Fluxx.

My older DS is 11 shortly after Christmas and I was stumped about stocking fillers for this year but there are some great ideas on the lists from PPs,

I was in Tiger yesterday and did pick up a couple of bits - a box of giant paper clips and a mini-note book full of different shaped post-its. There were lots of other stationery type bits that could be used as fillers as well.

Lots of great ideas here.

I just got something for my DS(9) that would also be loved by an 11 year old - a PlayStation controller stress reliever/squashy from B&M for £3

Where do you buy the Space food and astronaut ice cream from please ? And what are Gaming socks ?

Mine would definitely like Lynx or Jack Wills smellies
Still loves an electric superhero toothbrush and a soft toy
Chewing gum ( as normally not allowed)
Jazzies
Always I buy a festive tshirt from Next or Primark
Guiness world records book for year
Pj's
Last year using bargains thread got a lovely fleece blanket from Landsend with free monogram for less than £10
Initial hankies
Stationery of all kinds inc fun colour highlighters
Posh hot chocolate
Ties ( to add to his collection )
Proper men's hair brush
Hair gel or wax
Fleece or towelling bathrobe (wants one like DH)
Mentoes

@BeaLola, gaming socks weren’t a great description to be honest! The ones I bought are just novelty socks that say ‘Do not disturb I’m gaming’ on the soles! From amazon.

I got the space food ice cream on amazon. They do a normal one and a Neapolitan one. You can also buy it in the museum shop in the Greenwich observatory.

Also bought a mug.
