Seasonal Stocking Fillers

28 November 2008

Do you remember just how exciting it was to wake up on Christmas morning and find that Father Christmas has been in the night and left you an interesting nobbly and bumpy sock full of fantastic small gifts on Christmas morning? Who knows- perhaps you still get your festive stocking fillers every year even now - being a kid is a state of mind after all!

Putting together those stocking fillers can be hard work, as smaller gifts often involve quite a lot of time, planning and organisation to make everyone happy... however, the beauty of online shopping nowadays is that there is plenty of time, choice and opportunity to sort out the stocking fillers you need for the family - and even better, they all get delivered directly to your door, so you don't need to trudge around your local shopping centre, feeling increasingly desperate at 4pm on Christmas Eve!

X-Factor Themed Gifts

Who doesn't love X-Factor? The programme of choice for millions every Saturday night, this hit show just reels us in year after year, as we follow the journeys of the latest set of pop star wannabes, singing their hearts out for our votes every weekend! It's certainly an addictive formula, and what's more the show really does appeal to a wide variety of ages. Given that it's of particular interest at Christmas time - as the winner traditionally releases their hit single, and tends to get to Number 1 - why not treat your family's fans of the show to some X-Factor themed stocking fillers? There's a wide range of different things available - including the X-factor key ring, to add some star quality to even your keys! Or different ranges of X-factor mugs, bearing various famous - or should that be infamous - quotes and tags from the show. Perfect for settling down in style on a Saturday night, without the need for arguments over whose mug's whose! There's also a great range of t-shirts from the show - again with a range of different amusing lines from the series, and generally proclaiming the wearer to be the next big thing - perfect stocking fillers to prepare for a festive evening of competitive karaoke, perhaps x-factor style in the comfort of your own living room - just do the neighbours a favour and invite them round too - they might as well have fun and join in, rather than wincing at your efforts next door!

Retro Stocking Fillers

Another great thing about Christmas is the chance it gives you to re-visit some of the great toys and gifts from your childhood! People of a certain age will definitely remember the hit show 'Jim'll Fix It' - and will no doubt love stocking fillers like the Jim'll Fix It Soap on a Rope! Definitely a humourous gift, this soap replicates the famous badge from the show and comes presented on a satin red ribbon. The question is whether it will actually be taken into the shower or not, or be found modelled in the mirror by your happy recipient! Other retro gifts include the 'perfect' prefect badge - a cute little gold and enamel badge craftily designed to look like the Prefect badges from school - that most of us never got! Similarly those that remember Mr Potato Head - or growing cress in yoghurt pots for school, will love the Mr Grasshead gift - a fun gift whose head is filled with a mixture of sawdust and grass seed. Arriving 'bald' and in his own pot - you water his head and wait for his green grassy hair to grow! There's then extra fun for you as Mr Grasshead will definitely need his 'hairstyle' trimming! Stocking fillers like this are really fun for the whole family and definitely will raise a smile!

Romantic Stocking Fillers

Equally for those looking to be romantic in 'retro' style - how about an old-fashioned Love Heart from school... but not the sherbert version, but a really swish silver plated or gold love heart, with 'I love you' written on it. Really mushy but romantic, this would be a perfect present for the lady who doesn't believe you have any romance in you! It will be a really lovely surprise, and it comes in a presentation box too! And if chocolate is more your loved one's thing - then how about stocking fillers such as the 'My Last Rolo' - again a silver plated replica of the famous sweet, presented in a lovely little red gift box. This will be guaranteed to make your beau smile and put you right into their good books over the festive season!

Hopefully these stocking filler ideas will have inspired you - so have fun playing Santa this year!
