Preteen Girls Stocking Ideas

[Aroundtheworldin80moves]

A thread to share ideas.

So far I've found...
Harry Potter House pens (B&M)
Mini Lego Dots sets (Smyths, £3 instead of £7 on Lego website)
Post it notes shaped like initials (B&M)
Hair scrunchies (B&M)

Themed lip balms(Claire's do some really lovely one's and they're always being put on offer)they went down really well with our girls.

Astronaut food(we bought the mixed ice cream one(the most popular stocking filler by far for our girls)we bought in Hawkins bazaar but you can buy it online.

A small fancy umbrella.

A bubble or sheet masks(Superdrug,Home Bargains and Primark are great for those)they work out really cheap but our DC love them.

Keyrings(Class Ohlson sell some amazing one's and all usually £3 and under)Primark and Dorothy Perkins often have nice one's in to.

A bath bomb or some nice shower gel(if you get a bath bomb just make sure once you've wrapped it to pop it into an airtight sandwich bag so the whole stocking doesn't smell of it and any food pieces don't end up tasting of it.

An unusual drink(Asda,B&M and Homebargains are usually the best for choice and price)there's lots of fizzy and non fizzy one's around now as well.

An unusual sweet,something American,Japanese or Australian usually go down well with our lot.

Hope that helps a bit

Hot chocolate powder, squirty cream and marshmallows, so she can make posh hot chocolate.

I picked up some lovely bits in the Claire’s sale including a sleep mask, hair clip with multi coloured ‘hair’, clip on earrings and a make-up brush set for £2.50. Also a gorgeous atomiser from Rex London which was £1.95 and looks a lot more expensive.
Also planning to get
Fidget toy
Rock painting pens
Sweets
Book
Small calendar
Christmas shower steamers
Measuring spoons (she loves baking)
Probably a small Lego friends or Sylvanian Families set

I agree with Claires, their sales are usually quite good and then have additional 10-15% off codes on top. I picked up lots of instax camera accessories including phone case, photo frames, keyring from the sale around £1 each, lipgloss, hairbands and scrunchies, 9 pack of earrings all around £1.

Christmas themed sweets - cadbury puds, aero snowballs, reeses christmas trees, choc coins etc

Will also do some blind bag bits, preeteen is into among us so will get those, but roblox, lego, minecraft and pokemon cards for younger ones too.

More expensive items you could include instax film, gift cards either for places like nandos, wagamamas or ingame currency like roblox etc.

If they are still into smiggle at that age they do some christmassy scented pencils.

She'll also get the obligatory chocolate orange in there and some other bits like hair scrunchies, christmassy socks and bath bombs.

Also got her those straws that you use to turn milk into milkshake and will get her a mug cake sachet as well. I think finding stocking fillers is my favourite part of Christmas shopping so I'm a bit sad that I've nearly already finished!

So far I’ve got DD (8):

—Some of those milkshake straws too, plus a Harry Potter pez dispenser (B&M)
—Colin hot choc stirrer, choc coins and chocolates in the shape of daschunds (M&S)
—A Cadbury’s Christmas pud
—Necklace, bracelet, cat pop lip balm, tinsel scrunchie (Claire’s sale)
—Mini gel candy pens (Amazon, also from bargains thread - lots of our DDs will be getting near-identical stockings )
—A set of double ended pencils in a tin (Waterstones)
—A Harry Potter Hermione’s desk Lego
polybag (eBay)
—Cookie the Cat hot chocolate spoon (Rex London sale)
—glitter hair clips (Rockahula sale, ages ago)

I normally also put in a book but I don’t think it will fit this year! She is desperate for a mini 2022 diary from Paperchase, so I might get one of those nearer December when there’s a better range of diaries out.

Detangle shower brush
Hair wrap for after shower
Pens
Notebook
Sports socks
Water bottle
Lip balm (Claire’s)
Scrunchie
Monopoly card game

All fab ideas, i am only just starting on stocking so have only got 1 thing so far, a Tiny Baking set from Smyths.

@GoldStarAngel where did you get the Christmas squishmallow please? Dd loves them!

Some great ideas. Thanks.

In B&M a few years ago they had small milk bottles filled with all the ingredients to make cookies. You could then use the bottle to have a milkshake. Antibacterial gel in nice scents, I love my love hearts one. Nail polishes, Emery boards and orange sticks. Nice mini toiletries, nice pens.

@22Giraffes I bought them online in Jan 😂 let me see if I can find link in my inbox

Hmm can’t find it - sorry. I had bought Santa ones in jan last year in the sale in The Entertainer before they were a thing, or before I had heard of them anyway, and all three of my kids loved it so I just did a search in jan for elf ones and found some online at the time. If they like the elf ones I’ll probably try to get some reindeer ones next year

@GoldStarAngel can you provide a link to the Superdrug body lotion pouches please? I can’t find them on the website. Thanks

They were another January sales purchase @Araisaris but I am planning to audit everything I have bought on Friday (I am a saddo!) so will take a pic of them then and see if I can find them online

Thank you @GoldStarAngel 😊
