Did anyone find any interesting stocking fillers this year?

Last year the crimpet was the winner and I'm wondering if there are any more ideas I could steal.

Im intrigued for 15 year old.....

Maybe not interesting, but perhaps not thought of, I've put a tape dispenser in my 5 year olds stocking.

I went into school recently to do a parent/child event and the teacher brought out a tape dispenser and all the kids were absolutely loving it.

I got my DS some Nee-Doh soft balls to keep as fidget items in his pocket. They are really soft and squishy. Also got a boot scraper and extendable back scratcher. Probably not ground breaking stuff but I know he will use all of them. Separately also got a mini thermal printer to help with school work

For my teenage son. Curtain fairy lights in warm white to cover his drab halls room.
Male manicure kit.
Sleep headphones headband
Pillow spray for sleep and one for a stuffy nose. I got this kit with both

Cheap lens that attaches to his iPhone as he likes to take pics of the landscape. You can get ones for different types of phones and photo from around £10.

I got him the crimpet last year and he used it once. He didn't take it when he moved away for uni that told me all I needed to know 😂

My children are getting new Speedo swim goggles, one of them has a Harry Potter snitch book mark, DD has some nice slides and hair bobbles from Mimi and Lula, and a sparkly cloud with dangly ribbons that she can hang up on her wall and store hair grips on. They will both get a piece of fruit and probably socks and chocolate coins. DD has a mini sticker dollie dressing book and DS has a reading book (1000 year old boy).

Got to love a good tape dispenser. Maybe an electric pencil sharpener next, it’s a firm family favourite here!

Just ordered two Crimpits - they have a sale on and free delivery, got a bread one and a wrap one. Perfect for my teens, thank you!!

Oh please tell me about the lens!

@GogAndMagog this is the one I purchased.

There are a lot cheaper than that, but some have awful reviews. For the type of lens I wanted this one was the first I was confident to buy.

I just hope it works well and he likes it!

Mine did like the crimpet but he was a bit obsessed with wraps this time last year..first year Uni and an easy meal.
This year he has a burger press as he loves making burgers.

Portable phone charger for teen.

Ooh a burger press good idea!
Thanks 🙏🏻 😂

A stocking filler I'm quite excited about giving my DD(12) is a bee revival keyring! She loves nature generally and loves bees...always tries to help a struggling bee if she sees one. This keyring is a tiny refillable vial containing sugar syrup that she can have with her all the time so it's there if she needs it! It's really cute 😊

Thanks for this @CoffeeChocolateWine - my 11 year old DS loves nature and has developed a particular interest in bees after we helped one in early springtime that was clearly grounded. We made some sugar water for it and watched it drink until it was recovered enough to fly off, so I was thrilled to see your post. After following your link to Amazon, I went a step further and found the Beevive website, from which I have just ordered not only a keyring but also a Bee Hotel kit!

@Swizzel, brilliant! Hope he loves it 😊

Which make did you get? I've seen a few reviews for some but not sure which one to go for.

We have Anker ones. This is the smaller version

And I got a pack of Glorbs from their website as apparently they’re not on Amazon.

For 12 yo DS I've bought a keyring multi charger as I'm generally sick of him unplugging all of the chargers in the house looking for the right one! Also got him mug cake mixes as they were his favourite thing last year, My Hero Academia collector cards, a Capybara nightlight and a few pin badges among the usual socks, sweets etc.

@ToriTheStoryteller I got DD13 this one for her birthday as she hated carrying the bulky one she previously had. This one is very lightweight.

Currently OOS online but you might find one in store.

@gingeristhenewblack43 thank you 😊
