Stocking fillers 7yo girl & 5yo boy

[notforonesecond]

Any fun ideas, oh wise Christmas mumsnetters?

Main presents I am all over but struggling for interesting bitty presents. Especially for my DS.

They don’t appreciate clothes and I know there’s no point buying tat just to fill a stocking (although I do a bit because my mum always did!) but I’m after some small toy/bits and pieces that have been a hit for you in the past.

Thank you!

Ds4.5 alongside his stocking is Getting Spider-Man figure/toy, small Lego set and not sure what else. He’s a funny age, lots of hand me down toys, and other than cars, tractors & a bit of Spidey he’s not into much. 2 of his siblings are getting high value stuff this year, so trying not to over compensate with tat and remember his time will come.

Mine are the same age so following.
I always put pants, socks and sweets in.

Previous hits in the past have been

A joke book
Roblox gift cards
Flavoured lip balms (Disney Princess etc)
Fidget toys
Bath bombs
Magic facecloth things
Jewellery
Mini bags of Lego
Small games, such as the small Orchard Toy ones or packs of cards

I have a DS(8) but at their ages he received items like the following on his stocking:

Lego minifigure bags
Small Lego sets
Uno
Top Trumps
Hot Wheels car
Bath bombs
Notepad and pens in his fave character theme
Sticker book (small, to fit in stocking)
Books (look at charity shops for new/near new condition books)

My DS is 4.5 and his Stocking so far will contain:
Supermario digital watch
Supermario diecast car
Mini make your own clay magnets kit (this might not be mini enough to fit, I've bought much smaller stockings for this year to cut down the nonsense a bit!)
Jellycat amuseable

Still to add:
Glitter glue bottles
Slime
Mini chocolate Santa
Small book, probably Mr Men for the collection
Mini Pringles

I have dd7 and ds5 too.

Last year the biggest stocking hits were whoopee cushions!

This year they have socks, joke book, bubble bath, a personalised teaspoon, a bookmark, lol doll, little animal toy, Smiggle pencil case, slinky, colouring pens, rubber duck, chocolate Santa, sweetie tube, chocolate coins

Oh also top trumps - card games always go down well. Uno or Dobble for eg

Christmas stockings are my favourite things. I usually put in a chocolate Santa and a small felt animal/ tree decoration poking out of the top. Anything from Polar post including their dasher and dancer chocolate bar and stocking fillers. Also discovered Soch and co last year who have some beautiful things.

Chocolate coins with personalised label (make myself). Have often bought a personalised item from Etsy eg teaspoon/small knife or extending marshmallow holder. As mine like marmite and Nutella I usually buy personalised labels to attach to a jar. I buy or make labels that say from santas workshop and stick on the presents

7yo Dd presents so far
knickers
bikini
Blanca sport set
new doll
a few Barbie playsets
need to buy the rest soon.

I have a 7 year old daughter and am trying to avoid tat. Here is a list I've made for her stocking (not bought it all yet)

• calculator in her fav colour (she's always playing with dhs)
• koala soft toy
• rubix cube
• dream catcher for her room
• lipbalm
• a mini mug for hot chocolate that I picked up for £5 at sainsburys this week and a hot chocolate Stirrer
• usual sweets and chocolate

I'm thinking of adding a vinyl pop pokemon and a small loom band kit, but undecided atm
