Goodies to fill a Christmas stocking

Ideas for filling Christmas stockings may run out at times but giving tips can get rid of the frustration and turn it into fun.

Stocking gifts are smaller and do not replace the original gift.

Filling the stocking with sweets is always a treat, but make it more personal by adding that person’s favourite sweet in the stocking.

To add to the sweets, different things can be given to children and adults.

Here are a few tips:

• Crayons
• Colouring-in books
• Pens and notebooks
• Small toys
• Scented soap
• Perfume samples
• Hair accessories
• CDs
• Nail varnish
• Pocket knife (adults)
• Toy cars or bikes
• Vouchers
• Manicure set
• Chocolate coins
• Small biscuits
• Wrapped gingerbread man

There are many more small items to fill a Christmas stocking as it all depends on personal choice.

The choice remains that of the person filling the stocking.

Changing the ideas every year can be fun too.
