I like the stockings to contain stuff that is fun but also not just "pointless tat" of that makes sense. It's harder this year when I don't fancy trawling the shops... So looking for online ideas

Past presents that have met my criteria have been things like Smiggle stationery, cool packs for injuries in fun shapes , crazy dice, but I am out of inspiration at the moment

1 boys age 10 and 2 girls age 6 and 12 Grin

Mine go nuts for mini variety pack cereals. They're younger than yours, so normal Kellogg's one have previously been hits, but I've seen American style ones in b&m recently (with things like lucky charms etc). Not something we'd usually have, plus they take up loads of room! So bulk the stocks out nicely

A rolled up comic (especially if there’s a winter special), puzzle book or colouring book can be useful for taking up space and entertaining kids later on in the morning if you’re like us and have a gap between breakfast/getting dressed and clearing breakfast stuff away, getting all the early bits for lunch in before doing present unwrapping.

If you have kids between about 6 and —adult— 12 the Beano double Christmas edition usually goes down well, as it usually has some silly / fun Christmas tat/jokes in but not lots and it doesn’t feel like you’ve bought the tat yourself.
