Stocking filler gift ideas...... part 1

10 things I'd pop in a stocking 

Picture from Pinterest.

I thought I'd do a post about my top picks to pop in a stocking, I decided to do this as I'm not going to lie, I've found it pretty tricky picking out items to go into stockings I've made for my daughters and family. I've finally managed to finish buying and filling their stockings so thought I'd help you all out by giving you some gift ideas of 10 things I'd pop in a stocking.

 I have done 10 things for several different ages. (children under 2, children between 3-10, between the age of 11-17 & for 18+). These are just ideas and my opinion so although I've put a particular item in an age category it doesn't mean you can't purchase it for a person of your choice - hopefully that makes sense. But as this post will be really long I've split into 2, so be sure to keep and eye out. This part will be for children 0-10. 

 Also, I've picked all of these gifts from www.notonthehighstreet.com just because every present is unique, and not on the highstreet haha, they vary in price too - some much more expensive and some much cheaper to suit every budget.

🎄First up 10 little things for under 2's stockings:🎄
Baby's first Christmas visual sensory soft book: 

• The first item I chose was this 'baby's first Christmas visual sensory soft book'. I feel this particular item is great for either gender and is suited to young children/babies providing the perfect toy and can help aid learning, it can be personalised as well so can be kept as a memory keepsake. 

 It is £15 and £3.75 delivery, so is a little pricey; but as it can be personalised I think its well worth the price.

Dusky pink & blue bows:

• This next item is one for the girlies, a cute dusky pink & blue bow set. I know this isn't really something a small baby/child could enjoy personal. But I think they make a really sweet stocking filler; and can be used as a little accessory for Christmas Day. In the description they have said that these bows can be used for a big sister, little sister present or one for twinning with mama. For me personally I'd use the item for a single present - but its a cute idea! 

 These bows cost £9 with free postage so I would say they meet the average price of bows. And aren't they the cutest!?

Baby nutcracker rattle: 

• Much like the first item, this is great for either gender. It's an adorable little rattle, made to look like the nutcracker - so Christmas themed. I really like this and think its a perfect stocking filler.

 It retails at £14 with £3.75 delivery which again is on the more expensive side of a stocking filler but I think its makes the perfect gift/toy.

Personalised first Christmas reindeer bib:

• This is adorable, I chose this as I love the fact it can be personalised it doesn't necessarily interest a child/baby but - like the Christmas book this can be kept as a little first Christmas memory. Not to mention, how cute would those Christmas dinner pictures look with this bib!? 

 This bib costs £8 with free delivery.

Snowman & Snowdog booties:

• These. are. the. cutest. little. booties. ever! I adore these, there perfect for keeping tiny toes nice and cosy and add a little Christmas into any outfit. There is a little bell added into the end of each bootie keeping little ones entertained - they also have the option to add in a personalised comforter. 

 These are much more expensive and cost £20 with a variety of different delivery options.

Gingerbread man mini blankie:

• I think this makes the perfect stocking filler, a Christmas themed blankie. It has a rattle in the gingerbread mans head, meaning it provides comfort and entertainment. 

 This item is £15 with £3.75 delivery - much like the others a little more pricey, but I'd say it makes the perfect stocking filler.

Michael the monkey bib & book set:

• I picked this out for a little boy, the Michael monkey bib & book set. The book is perfect for aiding learning and the bib is adorable matching the character in the book. 

 This matching set costs £15 and comes with a variety of different delivery options.

Yellow giraffe wooden pull along toy:

• Much like the others I picked this wooden giraffe pull along toy as I thought it was adorable! its great for either gender and can be enjoyed by toddlers. It's brightly coloured which is great for attracting small children and it says that it helps to aid development. This toy can also be personalised - if you want to buy this for a particular gender this is also available in a pirate or princess! 

 It costs £11.99 and has several different delivery options!

Sweet little feet ice cream baby socks:

• These are the cutest socks, I love the little sprinkles on the bottom; in my opinion I would say these are more on the girly side but they do come in blue, therefore making them unisex. I think they'd make a pretty sweet stocking filler. You receive 6 pairs and they come in a cute little egg box!

 These are £16 with a variety of different delivery options. I do feel these are on the more expensive side for socks, but the packaging is lovely so sometimes its worth paying that bit extra.

Forest green silicone Christmas tree teether:

• For me this is the best out of all I've picked for this age group, its so festive & perfectly practical for painful little gums. The shape is easy for little hands to grasp, its dishwasher safe which is another added bonus! and the perfect size to pop into a stocking! 

 This forest green teether is £11.99 with £2.75 delivery.

🎄Stocking fillers for children between 3 & 10:🎄


Build a bots activity set:


• I thought this gift was the perfect stocking filler, I would personally pick this to pop in a little boys stocking but of course thats personal preference; and all gifts can be given to anyone. I love this gift, a little cardboard build a bot set - there are 36 pieces and they can be used to create a number of different robots. 

 This particular present costs £7.50 and has a handful of different delivery options. 





Ice cream socks:

• Ice cream socks, the sweetest little gift to pop in a little girls stocking (or boys). I love the packaging of this one, its adorable and fun. There are two different options mint chocolate chip and hundreds & thousands.

 These cost £7.97 with a variety of different shipping options - these are defiantly on the more expensive side for a pair of socks; but there ever so sweet, so I'd say they are well worth the money. 





Animal blowing bubbles stocking filler: 


 • I picked these out as a stocking filler for everyone in this category as I feel there the perfect little gift to keep little ones entertained. They are small animal bubbles; and are really cute. Everyone loves bubbles too - which is great! As they've said on their website, Children of all ages love bubbles, whether thats watching a grown up blow them or blowing them themselves - they provide lots of entertainment! 

 These bubbles in animal shaped containers are £4.95 and come with a few delivery options. A little more expensive for bubbles but the packaging is adorable, so can't really complain! 




Paratrooper parachute toy:

• I remember having these when I was little, therefore I haven't picked a particular gender I'd give these too. They are small little paratroopers with parachutes, this gift also includes a small sling shot launcher. These toys aren't suitable for under 3 years, but can be enjoyed by the older children. 

 These are being sold for £4.95 with lots of different delivery options on the website and make the perfect little stocking filler.





Small doll gift:

 • How adorable is this little gift!? I love the handmade feel of these small dollies. This dolly comes with a small sleeping bag/bed made with a gorgeous liberty fabric, the little doll can be tucked up or removed and played with. 

This small doll gift set costs £6.50 and has 2 or 3 different shipping options. 


Little bear box of socks:

• I persoanlly love to receive socks for Christmas and found these cute pairs of bear ankle socks, they come in a box including 2 pairs, they can be bought in either pink/grey and one red/white.  

 These cost £12.50 with £2.75 delivery. So much like the other socks I've popped on this list, there kind of pricey - but as it states there not on the hughstreet so one of a kind. And there utterly adorable. 




Storybook torch:


• I absolutely love the idea of this stocking filler, a story book torch. Each torch contains 3 story discs to tell 3 visual stories. There are two different colour torched to choose from, each have 3 different stories; so which ever tickles your fancy more, is the one you could pick. I really like this present and feel it can be fun for all ages. I think this is fab stocking filler and your little ones can enjoy it on Christmas morning giving you an extra 10 mins sleep haha!

 This particular stocking filler costs £15.95 and £2.75 delivery. 




Christmas snowman craft kit:


• Much like the little build a bot set, this is another crafty item that I think would make a snazzy stocking filler. A Christmas snowman craft kit, inside the box is everything you need to create a cute little snowman all that you would have to supply is a needle and some glue. This stocking filler is more for the older children and is perfect for a little keepsake. 

 This snowman craft kit costs £8.99 with different delivery options. And can also be purchased in a Santa/Father Christmas craft kit or penguin craft kit!






Princess tutu & wings set:


• When I was a little girl I loved dressing up, so I'm certain most little girls/boys will love this tut and wings set; allowing your little ones to become a snow queen/princess/fairy for the day, or however long they like! I think this makes the perfect stocking filler! On the website there is also the option to add a personalised t-shirt and tiara! 

 The wings & tutu cost £11.99 and much like the other comes with a variety of different delivery options. When adding all of the other bits & bobs (tiara & t-shirt) the price moves up to £29.49 - which is fab for a personalised dressing up costume if you ask me! 






Wind up marching soldier: 


• And last but certainly not least, this set of 3 wind up marching soldiers. These are perfect for your little soldiers stockings - and they'll love winding these up and watching them march around! I don't have much more to say about them, as they are just simple, small wind up soldiers - but I think they'd make a cute stocking filler nevertheless. 

 In my opinion they are a little pricey and are being sold at £10 per set with added delivery costs. But I have to admit there one of a kind and really sweet! 


That's everything I've picked for part 1 of my stocking filler gift ideas, I hope you've found it somewhat helpful, and as I said above; although I have picked a gender for a majority of the items of course they can be given as a gift to anyone, any age (as long as its safe) and any gender. Thanks for reading and keep your eye out for part 2 which will be up tomorrow! :)
