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.
