Santa's top 10 Stocking Fillers | Stocking Fillers from GettingPersonal.co.uk

7 December 2009

With Christmas coming up it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of presents out there and the hustle and bustle of weekend pre-Christmas shopping, but yet completely underwhelmed by the presents that you find as many of them are very uninspiring. Especially when it comes to stocking fillers, presents are often very 'samey' and lack any kind of individuality. But, never fear, with so many great gift ideas available on the Internet, especially on customising websites, you will be sure to find stocking fillers full of fun. In order to help you find the perfect stocking fillers for your loved ones this Christmas, here is a run-down of ten fantastic gift ideas for both adults and children.

1) A small, simple but really meaningful gift idea is getting a bauble personalised. Not only will it put a smile on their face as they open it and put it on the tree, but it can act as a keepsake and remember that particular Christmas every year. This is particularly nice for people who are at a special age, so 21, 18 or even for their first birthday. A personalised mug or bracelet doesn't have to be expensive at all but is a really sweet gift that will really excite them – children always love to see personalised items as it makes them feel special.

2) For children and big kids alike, fun little knick-knacks are great for the playroom or even the office desk. Items like finger drumming kits or interactive toys like mini flying pigs and monkeys are also a good bit of fun and great stocking fillers.

3) For nature lovers, buying them a grow-your-own plant is a great way for them to learn more about nature but get the fun of seeing plants like Venus-fly-traps, cress, sunflowers, chillies and cacti growing right in their own rooms. Another great example of stocking fillers are kits for sponsoring them an animal at a local sanctuary or even an endangered animal. By sponsoring something local you will be able to visit it and get to know it, but sponsoring an endangered animal abroad still means you receive information about the development of the animal and see where your money is going. These gift sets also often come with a cute cuddly toy for them to keep as well.

4) If you are looking for another big gift that fits in a small stocking, then a voucher for an experience day is a great idea! Experience days can really be tailored to that individual person. For adventurous children, a day at a "spy camp" with paint balling and other physical activities would be an amazing day out. For those inspired by Camp Rock, High School Musical and X Factor, you could book them into a recording studio session where they gain some musical training and get a chance to record their own version of one of their favourite songs.

5)For wannabe superstars, or even loved ones needing a bit of cheering up, a make-over day and photo shoot is a chance for them to shine. This is also a nice present for the whole family as you often get to keep the photos at the end of the day.

6) Fans of particular TV shows or sports may appreciate some relevant merchandise. X Factor fans may also appreciate available items like key rings, magnets, pens and badges. For Loose Women and The Apprentice fans, you can have the iconic mugs from the show created with your names on.

7) For young boys (and maybe the men in your life) try some small remote controlled kits featuring mini Ferrari's, aeroplanes, helicopters and even tarantulas! If a few people in your family or group of friends have them, you can organise races and competitions. Build-your-own model kits take the creativity and fun a step further.

8) If you want to poke fun at a parent or friend who is maybe not quite over the hill but definitely ascending it, there are lots of funny small gifts like "Old Git" mints and other gifts poking fun at age. Humorous books like "Things to do before you are old and boring", "How to survive turning sixty" and "You know you're a child of the 70s when…" are a fun flick-through read for Christmas day and small enough to fit in a stocking.

9) For women, small stocking fillers like pampering facial treatments and make-up minis are always a winner, but meaningful tokens like a photo snow globe, engraved bracelet or small personalised photo frame are really sweet and greatly appreciated.

10) If you really don't know which stocking fillers to get your loved ones, why not solve the problem with a stocking itself? You could always buy them a personalised stocking embroidered with their name on – then you've bought yourself another year until you have to think about stocking fillers for them again!
