I do stocking for my parents. Books, magazines, lottery tickets, posh food things, vouchers, updated pictures of grandkids. Mostly consumables as they don’t want any more stuff.

Random stuff they sell in Lakeland! I bought my DH toaster tongs! I love my butter knife from there too!

Agree with old fashioned boiled sweets - rhubarb and custard or similar?

Socks

those yellow glasses to put over glasses to avoid glare when driving (if they drive)
