Anyone ever got the Hawkins Bazaar ready filled stockings?

[Stompythedinosaur]

I am tempted by these in the sale. It would be really handy to have an idea of whether they are good or disappointing though. I'm looming at the 8+ stockings.

Yes! It was many years ago, but big success, I think because they had stuff in there which the DC had never seen before - they were pretty familiar with the pocket money toys section of our local shops. I think I checked it out and made a couple of switches or additions, but all in all they were great. (And I love a shortcut!)

Thanks Tawney good to know!

I bought one of these for my step son something like 10+ I think, I went through it picked out a couple of bits he wasn’t interested in about 4/5 things and then added some coins and small sweets. It was great really good quality the bits I took out and put in my sons as an afterthought really but he loved them too. So plenty in there and in all honesty enough to split in two if needs be and top up with sweets it was really crammed with toys and a nice mix too

We got our DD one last Xmas and we were impressed by it that we are getting her another this year.

Thanks for the reviews, I went ahead and ordered it!

Will you post about the contests when you get it OP? I've considered them before but am out of by the blind bag mystery of it all

Yes , they are really good! Really fun on Christmas Day morning and keeps my boys entertained for a while. I found them to be great value. I have bought them for the last 3/4 years and one year got the star wars ones for both my boys . Went down really well 👍🏻 I have boys so no idea what the girls ones are like .

Absolutely, good idea.

Here's a list from memory - I'll do photos when I have a time the dc aren't around.

In the girls 8+ stocking I got:
Jelly bath box
Scented pencils
Two different slimes
Unicorn finger puppets
Unicorn keyring
Unicorn ring
A squishy in a blind bag
A loom bands set

On the whole I was happy enough although I think I would be a bit disappointed if I paid full price.

I'll update after bedtime with pics and to check I have missed anything out.

Thanks
