Stocking ideas for 8 & 10 yo boys

[ConsternationStation]

What do you put in a stocking for boys aged 8 & 10?

I was going to do the usual toiletries, sweets, Pokémon cards (if I can get them!), but I'm looking for some ideas for little inexpensive toys/games/other stuff that might be useful or wanted. Under £10 wherever possible.

Card game like Uno or Top Trumps
American Sweets
Water bottle
colour changing putty (less messy than slime)
mini football
Oodie (or unbranded one)
magic tricks/whoopie cushion
grow your own christmas tree
customises chopsticks (from shein with child’s name)
wallet

Uno cards
socks
mini tub of Pringles
chocolate coins
xmas Percy pigs
personalised pencils
a keyring
new water bottle

I’ve also bought a pass the pigs! As I had it and I absolutely loved it as a child

smiggle have tonnes of stuff on their website too in the sale various bits and bobs

Loads of small games that fit into that size. Scout is a good one at that age but a bit pricey.

little gadget toys - I like the brand Smart Games, little solo puzzles.

funky pens

toy cars

Puffy pens HOIDOKLY 3D Magic Popcorn Pens

Buildable rubbers Puzzle Rubbers Amazon.co.uk: Stationery & Office Supplies

New water bottle

rainbow pencils Rainbow Pencils,12 Colouring Drawing Pencils for Kids Adults, Art Supplies

Basically any kind of stationary!

DD was 8 last year and she loved a Jacob’s ladder. We’ve also done poly bags of Lego and blind bags of sylvanians - but you can get Lego or other types of blind bags if that’s more appropriate for your kids!

we usually do fidgets, hot chocolate bombs, interesting post it’s, fluffy socks and stationary stuff.

Stunt yo yo, or Rubik's cube.
Guinness Book of Records.
If they have a favourite sporting team, a team mug or pencil case. If you go onto any of the Premier League football clubs' websites, their online shop will give you loads of suggestions!
My nephew and niece used to love their very own roll of sellotape, and packet of blue tack.
Socks patterned with their favourite musical instrument/sport/tv character. Ditto pants.
A packet of breakfast cereal or tin of fizzy drink if they aren't usually allowed to have it!
Rolled up comic.
Joke book.
Puzzle/suduko book.
Scratch art or painting by numbers set.
Bath bomb.
Swim bag and towel.
New Wimpy Kid book, or latest in the series of whatever they read.
Personalised chopsticks, if they use them. If they don't, might be fun to try!
Money box.
Bag charm.

I'm thinking of a diabolo for one and juggling balls for the other. They're also getting chopsticks funnily enough, my 8 yo likes a magic trick, novelty bath bombs, a book of whatever they're into, some non-lego sets from the Christmas imaginarium, think they were £12-15 but hopefully will keep them busy - I've also ordered some magic glasses which turn any light into a cool shape (santa / stars etc. We've had them before and they're fun). A mug or glass usually makes it in, and drawing pad and pens.
