Ideas For Stocking Fillers

Criteria for perfect Christmas Stockings. With special hints for my long suffering husband. 1. Christmas stockings have to be real socks, (long walking socks preferably!) They have to look knobbly and overbalance when you try to lean them up against something. 2. They have to have a pleasingly crinkly sound when you feel them. They have absolutely got to be knobbly and knubbly! 3. They mustn't be holey socks. Holey stockings don't work and confuse Santa when the nuts fall out the bottom! 3. They have to have at least two items precariously sticking out of the top. 4. They must contain at least one puzzle that ...  Read the complete review

Hi, Christmas is already ruined and I haven't even gone shopping yet. I have found that when I hate somebody but I am still obligated to give them a gift I buy them socks and a nice pen. everybody can always use more socks and everybody appreciates a good pen.

I filled all the little gaps with those little gold foil coins with chocolate inside ( I know he will appreciate the money). Sticking out of the top is a box of chocolate 'Boobs' that I bought from a joke shop. ...  Read the complete review

I have just bought a very cool stocking from my catalogue, it is silver and very shiny, escellent for young girls. I think personally that a stocking should have a bit of everything in it. It should have some fruit and chocolates in it, and some of those excellent things you get from superdrug and boots quite cheaply, which are little lipsticks, nail varnishes, miniture shampoos and body washes, the list is endless and they are no more than £2 each, also in the stocking should be a miniture note book and pen, young people tend to like that type of thing, and perhaps some underwear. ...  Read the complete review

If you are looking for stocking fillers that are a little bit more than throw away items you could try the gift department in your local Debenhams, they have some really great games and books and they don't cost much at all, just a few pounds...Many are reduced at the moment as well. More for adults than kids. Debenhams also stocks the "Who wants to be a Millionaire" board game which seems to be extrememly popular this year, price £25. ...  Read the complete review
