Christmas Stockings
A Guide to Christmas Stocking Fillers by Tim Wright
Christmas stockings have long been part of the tradition of Christmas but we’ve moved on from the days of apples, oranges and lumps of coal. These days we look for far more thrilling gifts to stuff into our stockings, but racking our brains for ever innovative stocking fillers takes up energy that may be put to much better use adorning the Christmas tree and eating mince pies!
If you’re suffering from stocking filler brain block take a look at some of the unique Christmas stocking gift ideas I’ve dug up below – each one is under £15.
Personalised Stocking Fillers
People love personalised Christmas gifts. It’s one thing to pick a gift up and give it a shake in an attempt to guess what it is. Perhaps you’ll rip a corner off before shredding the paper to reveal the surprise. It’s quite another, and a big delight, to unwrap your present and actually see your name or a message just for you!
Stocking Fillers for Kids
Children really enjoy attention, and what could possibly be better than becoming the hero or leading lady in some fantastic stories? Your little one can star in a seasonal adventure story, visiting the North Pole to help Father Christmas sort and deliver all the gifts in time for Christmas.
Stocking Fillers for Men
I don’t really like to admit it, but us men are an awkward bunch when it comes to buying gifts at Christmas. We either have no idea of what Christmas gift we’d like, or we are after the newest 3D HD TV! Simple things can still impress, particularly when it comes to stocking filler presents. If the re-runs of Top Gear on Dave are anything to go by, men can’t get enough of it. But there’s one thing that bugs me – who on earth is The Stig?! A personalised Stig poster might well uncover the truth, exposing a friend as the real Stig from Top Gear.
Stocking Fillers for Her
Men frequently have almost as bad a track record at purchasing Christmas gifts for their wife or girlfriend as they do at suggesting Christmas presents for themselves! Purchasing some thoughtful stocking gifts for the significant woman in your life is a terrific way to gain extra brownie points – there’s only so many earrings a girl can have! For a light hearted stocking filler, have them feature on spoof magazine cover with their name and photo. From fashion to food, from sports to weddings, a spoof magazine will certainly raise some laughs on Christmas day! For something a bit more romantic, consider a personalised bottle of Christmas red wine – who knows it might even get shared!
So there you have it, stocking fillers needn’t fill you with dread! Fill your boots with these great stocking filler gift ideas.
