Just wondered if all you lovely people could help me. I have 2 teens (boy and girl) and an older DD in her 20's Smile and am struggling to think of good sf for them. TIA

I aways have a look on stationary and art, quite a good range. They have been my go to place for stocking fillers.

Poundland currently have different types of foot masks. I put together an advent calendar for DD (21) and am planning to include a couple.

Just thought I would mention that I had thought of a few things that teens might like such as phone case, snazzy face masks, usb chargers, and fluffy socks. Any other ideas guys, I seem to be permanently on websites trying to order stocking fillers and getting nowhere, any tips or advise from you lovely people would be greatly appreciated Smile

Got ds (14) for his birthday a £20 Greg’s voucher and he was over the moon, planning on maybe a subway one for his stocking.

MarshmallowManiac · 08/08/2020 00:25

My DC love Greggs vouchers in their stocking too Fruit I'm sure my DS would love a Subway one! Grin

Box of disgusting American cereal from the American section in Tesco. Or selection of disgusting American sweets from the same section.

cable protectors were a hit last year.

Blutak
Random edibles - coffee, cereal, snacks, chocolate
Torch
USB cables (the correct ones for their gadgets)
Lego blind bags (never too old!)
Stationery

Will make Christmas themed face masks too, as day 1 of advent calendar, if still needed.

MarshmallowManiac · 08/08/2020 23:08

Great idea Shauna, there are some lovely Christmas masks here and I'm sorely tempted [santa]

999 I have got some stocking fillers for my DC and looking at things like Christmas monopoly and other games that might be fun. Have also bought wrapping and tags and about to buy Christmas crackers. I don't want to be in the madness of Christmas/Brexit/Covid panic so I am trying to get organised too. Also have birthdays/school in Sept and getting some extra food bits in the house just in case.

Yes sorry, what have you got for your son's stocking?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 21/08/2020 13:20

Mine are 20 and 18 now
They have the tiny ££ presents that make a very unimpressive present pile (I do miss the Big Box presents that looked good under the tree when they were little)

Mine have most of their essentials - PJs / loungwear , underwear, toiletries in the Dec 1st Box

I bought some tapestry pre-lit stockings a few years ago , so their presents go in these . They don't wake up till after 10am and any presents on the floor would get wrecked by the cats !

DS likes money to save , he always has done .
Though if I did what he suggested - give him the money I spend on clothes to him - he'd still be running about in pants that had had as a 15yo !, because he'd squirrel it away .

This year he's 21 in December so we're buying him a joint Birthday/Christmas present Electric Guitar ( his choice) .

His Christmas Stocking will be little things , so keeping an eye on this thread .

MarshmallowManiac · 21/08/2020 13:25

I have toiletries, pants, Rick and Morty mug, notebook for sixth form, shaving stuff from Body Shop. Will buy various sweets nearer the time, any ideas about any stocking fillers are much appreciated. Smile

Last year ( poached an idea frm the Christmas Threads) they got a Badly Wrapped Present From The Cats .

DD got a handbag ( she sent me links to the one she liked )
DS got a really neat little wallet with 12 guitar plectrums .

Have to be wrapped in an untidy fashion, lots of tape and a few cat hairs stuck in for good measure . Xmas Grin

MarshmallowManiac · 21/08/2020 13:32

That's a great idea thanks 70 as we're hoping to have a little dog by Christmas. Smile
