If you don't get one then maybe use imagination 😀 I get nice gifts but not a stocking so err I sometimes treat myself

Anyway - this is what would be in my dream stocking (dream but still realistic. I'd like to find a Rolex and some Cartier on there but I'm keeping it real)

The new Dior hand and body wash. Any fragrance.

Lisa Eldridge Betty ring

The new hourglass palette

Jelly Belly beans - pear flavour only

Mini bottle of Baileys plus the chocs

All Birds Socks

You?

I would like nice chocolates - DH thinks Thorntons are nice chocolates for a gift, I do not. I'd choose Cocoa Loco raspberry dark chocolate stars, a little mixed box of something like Hotel Chocolat or a bar of Tony's candy cane.
Some jewellery - doesn't need to be real gold or anything, just a nice pair of earrings or bracelet.
Fancy cooking ingredients, like some interesting spices or preserved lemons.
A fun biscuit cutter - I have loads but always enjoy a new one.
A new slimmer purse because I've put most of my cards on my phone now.
A travel card holder.
New gloves - although I actually need these so will probably have bought some by Christmas.
A lovely bauble.
A book of cryptic crosswords to save me picking up the Metro every day just for the puzzles.
A couple of the Harry Potter Lego minifigures that we are missing from our collection.
Mini bottle of something like prosecco or flavoured Bailey's.
It's getting to be a rather big stocking but I'd be happy with just a few of these.

Something from Hotel Chocolat
At least one book
Bookmarks
Bamboo socks
Scrapbooking stickers/tapes etc
Any ‘nice’ pens
A crossword book
Air pods
A new perfume, I cannot find one I like
A nice photo of my 2 DCs together

Youcancallmeval · 19/10/2021 23:54

I would like:
Striped fingerless gloves from Turtle Doves
Nesti Dante soap
Liquorice comfits
A little umbrella that will fit in my handbag
Pop socket as my current one has un-stickied
And as I buy my own Christmas presents, I shall probably get it all.

Milk frother
Black silk French knickers and camisole from M&S
New vibrator, maybe a rabbit as I've never had one

If money wasnt an issue:

A pair of square diamond earrings

On a more realistic budget:

A ravioli cutter
Bamboo tooth brush
Annual pass for a local visitor centre I love

Every year I think about making my own stocking, perhaps buying a gift each month and wrapping it and hiding it away ... but I never seem to get round to it!

Decent soap
Nice pen
Chocolates
Paperback
Posh socks
Nail varnish
Special coffee & Christmas jam

I have quite simple tastes but I know what I like Smile

TheChosenTwo · 20/10/2021 07:35

My dds made me a stocking last year, I think it had: nail varnish, space masks, candle, socks, a book, Waterstones voucher, chocolates, liquorice, lipstick, face mask (beauty kind, not corona related!), some other skincare bits, can’t remember what else but it was perfect, lots of little bits thoughtfully chosen.
I’d probably choose to receive the same again.

A partner that actually does the dishes and can plug a hoover in...
I love him dearly but I've come down with my boys this morning to find toenail clippings on the floor in the living room 🤢😂

I'd probably like to find alcohol of any description in my stocking!
And then some nice lush bath products.. and an undisturbed bath to go with it! 😉... I always end up with 2 toddlers coming in throwing dump trucks/ cars in 😀

Dark chocolate
A book from my to-read list (Goodreads means this is an actual list!)
A card game/ travel game along the lines of Monopoly Deal or Bananagrams.
Avengers socks. I know, but my inner 12 year old still thinks this is a cool idea.
I actually can't think of anything else. More chocolate?!

SpacePotato · 20/10/2021 11:30

As Tom Hardy has already been taken, I'd be happy with some cash. I reckon I could fit about 5k in new £20 notes in my stocking.
Also a large dark chocolate toblerone.

mam0918 · 20/10/2021 11:44

I do choose... who else would bother lol.

Xmas stockings are just novelties here though, I haven't bought my stuff yet but so far my only idea is a tooth whitening pen lol.

WhatHaveIFound · 20/10/2021 11:47

A European passport & a cure for Parkinson's.

psuedocream3 · 20/10/2021 12:34

Oh I've never had anyone make me a stocking as an adult, and I think I will do my own this year - it counts as self care. I don't usualy every buy my self things so I'm hitting a blank. Stealing other's ideas here:

Toblerone
Tonys Mint Tree
Terrys Choc Orange
Colin the Caterpillars
Little LUSH gift set
MAC make up
Opi nail polish
Mini Baileys
Mini Champagne
A book
