What makes a good stocking filler?
A Christmas stocking is the perfect place to stash an assortment of gifts that are both practical and playful. Choccies, skincare and books are good starting points. You can theme their stocking or include items that they might want to use or wear on Christmas day.
How much should I spend on stocking fillers?
Stocking stuffers can add up quickly. Depending on your budget, we recommend keeping each item under $100—some items might be cheap and cheerful, while others might cost a little bit more.
