Stocking filler ideas

[marmaduke]

Anyone want to share their ideas/pics for stocking fillers?

I'm finding it harder to find stocking bits (under £5) now that DD is getting older.
It doesn't help that her stocking is huge. (don't really want to change it as it's my childhood stocking)
My stash so far

my kids love bath bombs. That's all I can think of so far

 

[c1403]

Socks, toothbrush, pencil case, lip gloss, all sorts of pens, pencils etc. These are the sort of things I loved in my stocking

 

[fairypop]

Bits from smiggle? I've bought a giant spring that was £5, a revolving planet light projector from there, £5, book safe but that was £10.

Story cubes, wallet and headphones (for the plane as we are going away), calculator as he seemed to want one!, not sure what else to get! Some chocolates!

I never put much thought into stocking fillers as usually to distracted by main pressies. We usually do expandable facecloth, toothbrush. Tube sweets. Maybe hotwheels car. This year only thing ive thought of is giant kinder egg as they r obsessed with them at the minute

My kids love washi tape. I buy the 3 packs from the poundshop. DD who is 2 will sit for upto an hour with the stuff and make pictures, same with stickers. DS is the same, he loves pens, pencils, stickers and notebooks. So theirs will have alot of that kind of stuff in. Tooth brushes, and bath bombs aswell. DD will get clips, bobbles headbands, and lip balm . DS will have some shower gel. I'd like to get dd some shower gel but not sure what would be suitable for her skin. That's all iv got so far.

My boys will have variations on similar themes but as a rough guide:

Some themed bubble bath (ds1 avengers/ds2 minions/ds3 typical boy ish bubbles)
A paint your own dinosaur (ds1/2)
A scratch and reveal dinosaur book (ds1/2)
Christmas novelty book (ds3)
Mini Lego set (ds1)
Christmas activity pack (ds1/2)
Small wooden puzzles (ds2)

They all always have chocolate coins and chocolate Father Christmas. I'm trying to cut down/out on the naff Christmas stuff this year though (for my sake more than anything else I end up throwing it away mid January otherwise!)

Staples of our stockings are:
* Chocolate coins
*New toothbrush and toothpaste (last year I got these cute little animal toppers for their toothpaste which they loved so I'll look for something similar this year)
* Character shower gel/shampoo/bubble bath (something glittery/princessy for DD1 and likely star wars for DS)
* Stationairy- pens/crayons/pencil case/mini sellotape dispenser etc
* A cuddly toy (last year was paw patrol)
* Socks or underwear or slippers
* A bath bomb or fizzing crystals
* Hat/gloves/scarf if needed
* Hair clips/bands for DD1
* Glittery nail varnish (kids one) and nail stickers
* Glitter hair spray

Ooh I don't know, am struggling a bit this year. I'll probably put in the usual toothbrush, magic face cloth, shower gel and chocolate coins. I've also got a teaching watch and will probably get some lego mini figures but after that I'm stumped

Tiger has lots of fun little bits, I think we'll be heading there for a lot of our stocking fillers this year.

Some great ideas here, can I ask do you bother with wrapping the fillers?

I wrap everything in the stocking apart for the chocolate santa that peeps out the top. x

We put the following in our stockings:
Shampoo
Hair brush
Elastics/headbands/hair clips
Toothbrush and tooth paste
Nail Polish
Lip gloss
Body wash
Deodorant (DH and mine)

We don't wrap our stocking filters but wrap all of our other presents.

My DD also has a huge stocking (bigger than your one, its one of those big personalised ones!)

Seemed like a great idea last year in my post partum state.

I'm going to bulk it out with that shredded tissue paper stuff. Growing up a stocking was never a big thing for us, mainly just toiletries, little makeup sets, stationary and sweets. I don't plan on spending more than maybe £20-£30 in total on the stocking (including underwear and a small toy, and a nightlight for her room)
