Stockings for adult DC

Got adult DD and partner (male, if relevant for suggestions) here for Christmas, for the first time in a while. They have gifts to open, but I usually do a stocking in the bedroom. Apart from chocolate coins, what could I put in? Don't want to do nuts/satsuma which they won't eat, but don't want to spend a fortune either, or drive myself bonkers trying to sort it! I realise I am possibly asking for the moon on a stick! Any thoughts welcome. TIA.

Some nice stationary, mini bottle or can of something alcoholic, small puzzle type game, shower gel, nice chocolate. You could probably get it all at a supermarket if you are short of time.

Paperchase is always a good bet for stocking fillers or M&S, I always pick loads of bits up in TK Maxx too

I still do one for adult dc! Novelty socks, chocolate, cooking herbs & spices, a christmas tree decoration, nice hot chocolate, a book, Top Gear magazine, bubble bath, cake mixes/pud in a mug etc always a Lynx set (family joke) a bag of chocolate coins, a satsuma and always a selection box!
Any other random stuff I see, never expensive.
I think I'll still be doing them when they're 40!

Lindt choc santa
Some sweets in a bottle from Treat Kitchen bought in card factory.
some Christmas Colin Caterpillars
Some shower fizzers
socks
star wars key ring
mandalorian playing cards
car windscreen cover
little scented candle in a tin
hand balm
lip balm
a scourer on a handle that you can put washing up liquid in because DC’s went missing at uni
books of local walks (new city)
an escape/puzzle book for a nearby city from
www.mysteryguides.co.uk
paperweights from charity shop
magazine
book token

They will get satsuma and nuts! It’s a reminder of these being a treat for their grandparents. And they take up space which can only be a good thing.

nice mug
kitchen bits if needed like a peeler like mine that they love or new garlic press if theirs is rubbish
mascara
perfume/body spray
dry shampoo for festivals
minitures or favourite soft drink if teetotal
