Stocking filler successes

[Moonnstarz]

I always struggle for ideas for stockings now my children are older and preteens so thought it would be helpful if people could share items that were a hit this year.

For my kids:
Eugy models
Touch screen gloves
Duck vending machine

Greggs gift card
Small tin hot choc and squirty Baileys cream

Needo fidget cube

Shark plasters and a wooden fold out metre stick - bought as a novelty because DS is studying engineering always losing rulers but thinks its brilliant and has been walking around with it in his pocket since

whoopee cushions (always!)

ds doesn't like orange chocolate but is always v jealous of his siblings' chocolate orange so he was thrilled to get a plain one

Make up remover sponge
Fluffy socks
Dragon egg
Herbal tea
Sweets

Girls 12 &14

A bug in resin...

Favourite cereal
personalised ketchup
jar of hot dogs!

all things mum doesn’t buy 🤣

Great ideas so far, I am making a note of these!

Bath bomb
Nice shower gel
Make up

Always anything that mum disapproves of! This year musical lollies you hear inside your head. Superneedoh block thing. New pants.

My 27 year old son really liked

rituals car air fresheners ( not cheap but smell amazing)

tea pigs mint tea and clipper Earl grey

bottles of teriyaki, sweet chilli sauce and pizza express Caesar salad dressing

enough toothpaste, good shower gel, that he likes, painkillers , multi vits and vit D3 to last him a year

extendable tappy finger

The most enjoyed stocking items for mid-teen were both things I saw suggested on here: a sad trombone I got on Amazon and a back scratcher at Cotton Traders

For dd(15) hair care set, jenny glow perfume
Dd(11)meemow anime things and a teddy capybara
Ds(8)slime! Always slime with that boy 😂
DD(6) stitch colouring set and a little hedgehog teddy thing that talks. It says "oh hi" excuse me " when it makes a fart sound 😂"I love you " and "more tickles " I may live to regret that one but dd loves it

oooh my kids would love this, where from?

They sell them lots of different places like amazon, ebay, temu etc... and they all look identical so probably all come from the same origin but heres the link
