STOCKING FILLER IDEAS!
Christmas is nearly here, and we all have that
moment of panic when we look at the Christmas countdown and realise the days
are zooming by and that voice pops in your head " you still need to buy
them stocking fillers, what are you going to buy " . Don't worry if you
are needing some inspiration/ideas you have come to the right place. I have
pulled together some ideas for stocking fillers/little gifts. Happy Shopping xo
Diaries-
For the organisers or people who need to be organised!
Everyone needs a diary, whether you are the Mother
with all the family appointments, The friend with the big job and need to
organise the diary but use a sticky note instead, or the sister in school with
the school work and exam dates. A diary is something everyone will appreciate. I would also suggest adding a pack of pens, if your buying for the friend who has the big job a classy pen set, the sister who is in school maybe gel pens or something fun.
Personalised Mug-
For the hot drinkers!
who does not love a personalised gift? Everyone
loves a new mug, The ones in the office are stained, the ones in the house are cracked and the only ones that are usable are the kids Disney cups.
If you buy a brand new mug for someone with a personalised message or their
name that will be a really sweet gift. Imagine your friend, she or he has had a
rough night, they wake up for their morning coffee and see your mug that you
personalised for them, it makes them smile and feel a little better. Maybe even
pop their favourite brand or coffee or tea or a yummy set of biscuits in the stocking as a little
something extra it also shows you really thought about the gift and you know that
person well!
Purses/Wallets- For the shoppers!
If your female or male everyone uses a purse or
wallet. I feel it's the one thing we all tend to forget about re purchasing
when the purse or wallet is in bad shape and we desperately need a new one but
forget about it because that new Eye shadow palette is on the top of the list,
or that new video game or the kids clothes. Having a new purse or wallet is
something everyone will appreciate because it's something that is used all the
time. Make sure you know who your buying for, does she like pink or red? What
colour is her bag will it clash or match? Does she like leopard print or plain?
Is she a fan of bling or something classy? Is he into designer names or not
fussed? It might just be any purse but to them, having a purse that you picked
out because of what they like is more meaningful then just picking up any purse
or wallet. Maybe as something extra buy a bag charm for her and a voucher for
him?
Candles-
For the relaxers.
Candles are the best in winter, all cosy with
the flickering candle and the gorgeous scents that some of them produce what a
great little gift for someone. Not just anyone, someone who loves relaxing,
someone who loves to enjoy a bubble bath with candles, someone who loves to
scatter candles around their home and create homey scents in each room. Make
sure the person you're buying for appreciates a good candle. Make sure you know
what scents they like, and what scents are around their homes. Throw in some
scented tea lights and a lighter!
Slippers and socks-
For the lazy Sunday people!
Christmas is not Christmas without a new pair of
slippers and fluffy socks or regular socks! These are fabulous stocking ideas
or gifts for people who love to lounge around in slippers or slip their feet
into fluffy socks. Maybe add a foot treatment set to pamper their feet with
before slipping into their new socks and slippers.
Phone cases-
For the always on their phone people!
Everyone has a phone these days, kids, teens,
adults, even elder people like our Nan's and Granddads! A phone case is a fab
little gift especially if that person is getting a new phone for Christmas or
is always attached to their phones and needs a protective but classy case for
it. Ebay and Amazon are great for finding lovely cases. As always make sure you
know that person you're buying for, what phone do they have? are they a blingy
type or subtle and cute? Are they gold lovers or fan of the whites and clears? To
add to your gift you could buy a phone holder for their bedside table, desk or
vanity. Or if that is something you don't want to buy maybe a pair of
earphones? Maybe a speaker for their phone?
Manicure or Eyebrow
set-For the Pretty and
primped.
This is great for a girl or boy who is into
keeping their nails in shape and well treated. A good manicure set is fabulous,
you get all that you need to keep the nails looking beautiful. A eyebrow set is
also a great idea for the males or girls who have their eyebrows always looking
on point. Guys can appreciate a good eyebrow set to trim away them long eyebrow
hairs and every girl needs the tools for getting the eyebrows on point!
Colouring book and
felts- For the kids, or the
big kids ;)
Adult colouring books are on the market now so
why not get someone a colouring book for the big kid inside them? Is your mum
or sister or friend into arts and likes to paint, draw or colour? It's a great
idea for relaxation and something to do. Kids love colouring books so you
cannot go wrong with a kids Christmas colouring book. Add some fancy felt tips
and pencils and that is a well thought of gift or stocking stuffer!
Cds and Dvds-
For the music lovers and Film buffs!
Susan from work is always singing a Rihanna
song, why not pick her up the Rihanna CD? Mick your brother is always talking
about the mission impossible films why not grab him the dvds? And your mum, she
can't stop quoting scenes from the Friends episodes she has seen on TV, why not
get the box set for her? Grab your music lovers a CD of their favourite
artists, or if you're not too sure on what to get pick up the Now that's what I
call music cds, or Ministry of sound so they have a selection. For the film
buffs pick some DVDS out that they like or might like, Or their favourite TV
series box set!
A cook book, or
cooking tools- For the ones
who make the food taste yummy!
If your Dad or boyfriend or Mum or Nan loves to
cook, works as a cook or wants to try to cook why not grab them a good cook
book? It's always a gift appreciated if they are into cooking or want to get
into cooking. Your mum likes the sweet treats and cakes so grab a desert cook
book. Your dad likes the Italian or Indian foods, grab a Indian or Italian recipe
cook book. Or if they have a million cook books stored in the kitchen why not
grab them some cooking tools? every chef likes new cooking tools right?
Chocolates-
For the Chockaholics!
Everyone loves chocolates and Christmas is
filled with chocolates and everyone is enjoying treating their sweet tooth. A
box of chocolates will always be loved around Christmas. Even a cute Chocolate
Santa or chocolate coins!
Wine-
For the wine'o clockers!
If that person in your family or friends is a
lover for a glass of wine at the end of the day why not pick up their favourite
wine and pop it in their stocking or a gift bag? It's Christmas and the wine is
never not pouring into the glasses so why not also grab them a cute wine glass
or a classy wine glass for them to enjoy their wine out of?, so treat your
friend or family member with a bottle...or two!
That is all the ideas I can pull together for
now, I hope you enjoyed reading and I hope you have a merry Christmas xo
