Saucy stocking fillers for your lover | Stocking Fillers from GettingPersonal.co.uk

12 October 2009

What goes without saying is that the festive period is one of immense stress. Whether it is the thought of preparing a gigantic meal, never mind shopping for it, as well as arranging family trips and, possibly more perturbing, the thought of having to go out and take to the embattled high street, trawling up the freezing road in the glare of shops that throng with human traffic. In fact, just typing that sentence has brought me out in a slightly depressing sweat, so let's look at the good points. With the now all pervading and all encompassing world wide web, researching, finding, purchasing and getting Christmas gifts and stocking fillers has become easier than ever before; the only thing is making sure you time it well so that the gifts don't arrive on the 27th and you don't have your whole family sitting around in silence with their arms crossed as the Queen's Speech spills out from the television.

Against this gift buying and Christmas background, we come to the main thrust of this article. Amongst all the rigmarole of running around, organising and stressing out, you might accidentally forget about the most important person in your life, your other half. Now, Christmas is a period where you will intend to share a lot of joy around a lot of people, but it stands to reason that you will hope to treat your significant other, well, a little more significantly. The main present might be sorted, but you might want stocking fillers that are a little saucier, or a little naughtier...Being a consummate Casanova (don't laugh) I will hope to lay out some stocking fillers below that will match this criteria. I'll pretend I've seen your ID and we'll proceed on.

First of all, you will no doubt aim to have stocking fillers that are unique and quirky, that will stick in the memory and ones that might have a little touch of romance. Well, one thing that satisfies all of these requirements is the Name A Star Gift Box. You might, if you are a helpless romantic like myself (!), often describe your partner as a unique and special star and these stocking fillers make it so that you can make one part of the endless firmament of space personalised. Your star is picked out for you and all you have to do is register whatever name you would like. The box comes with a certificate, a fact sheet as well as the coordinates of your star and how to find it in the sky. These gifts come in other romantic guises to, such as the Name A Rose Gift Box and they all make for loving and thoughtful stocking fillers.

Moving up the gears a little into some slightly more risqué stocking fillers, we come upon what I think is a brilliant design innovation on what is, in truth, usually an extremely mundane, everyday item. We all, in some way, use a calendar every day, to organise the busy, messy schedule most of us have. However, with the Personalised Calendars you can make it a bit more attractive. Coming in "Hot Hunks" and "Cheeky Chicks", these saucy calendars have a naughty (though not pornographic, obviously) image, that has the person's name worked into the picture in some way. You simply give the name you want when you order and they will print it up bespoke for you. These stocking fillers make for fun, naughty gifts that will give them a smile all throughout the year!

Of course, what level of "sauciness" you go to and how risqué you wish the stocking fillers to be, will all depend on the individual couple. What is artful or funny to what person, might seem prudish or over the top to another and I can't imagine many things worse than ripping open a present on Christmas Day that annoys or even offends! However, as you know who you are buying for, then any stocking fillers of this sort will no doubt go down well.

In any case, I do hope the couple of ideas above meet your approval, or in some way lead you down the right avenue for the type of gifts you will be wanting. To end on a slushy note, Christmas is a time for love and picking up cheeky stocking fillers is one way to show your affection for somebody special over the festive season.
