Grown up stocking presents

Every year I do a stocking for a grown up friend. Would love some new ideas… I usually get small bath oils, a few jars of her favourite jams/honeys etc, socks. Would love to think of some new things this year! Also, will probably have to post so that’s a consideration too…

Socks, we got 3 pairs of cat themed socks for DD in a charity shop for £2.99

Does she use bath oils? I assume so! I don’t bath so I’d never use em!!

Pens, chocolate and smelly candles would work for me 😉

A lovely coffee, miniature of her favourite drink, magazine she likes, or an annual subscription voucher, voucher for a manicure or similar, chocolates, a photo, Lisa Angel do nice trinkets, jewellery etc.

Box of space masks (self heating eye masks), they’re absolutely heavenly, so relaxing! You can buy them in individual packets if the box is too big depending on sticking size of course. They’re very light too!

This thread has so many cute ideas! Primark and superdrug have a lot of nice little reusable skincare things now. I got a 2 pack of really nice little silicone reusable facepads for massaging cleanser in, they're really useful too!

Whittards do lovely little jars of fancy tea, coffee or hot chocolate which I absolutely love to receive as a gift.

Tiger is always worth a walk around for stocking items too, so many quirky little bits in there and really good quality.
