stocking filler suggestions

[Phteven]

Me and the boys are spending Christmas with my family this year.
I'm after stocking stuffer suggestions for 2 year olds, 4 year olds, teenagers, women in their 30's, 50's and 60's and men about the same ages.

Yes, I know it seems odd that Santa visits the elderly but that's how we roll....

Nothing too expensive.

The Australian Geographic shop has some great little gadgets and games, crafts, thingies that are not too expensive and would make great fillers.

For DS and DD, I have got them a couple of books and clothes for their stocking.

we always use things like chocolates, bath products, cups, plates, socks, undies, water pistels, stationary, hair brushes, etc. in our stockings. Generally little incidentaries that are great for all ages.

I put pencils in the kids, little toy cars , bubbles, soaps, undies or bathers.

Hmm. There's some cute cheap stuff at Smiggle. Tea/Coffee bags? Facewashers? Candles? Lipgloss?

For boys, Matchbox cars. Stickers. Balls (I remember breaking countless things throwing Christmas stocking bouncy balls at walls).

[*Ali*]

water pistols for everyone, is makes for a good laugh, when everyone gets involved in a water fight

[~Trish~]

Holy cow Rouge, you are the Queen of stocking fillers!

I was going to buy our kids some electric (well, battery operated) toothbrushes to put in their stockings this year. I like the water pistol idea, gonna steal that one!

I got for the girls these little boxes by Tiger Tribe and they had some crayons, stickers and a 2.5mt long sheet of colouring in. The sheet was only about 10cm high, so it's a long narrow strip of paper. I also got some little wind up toys to go in them as well. For the teens - gift cards never go astray and for the oldies, some nice tea or coffee?

[Traveller]

A bag of dried fruits for eating when opening presents, a matchbox car, some Christmas themed lollies and some socks/undies. Pretty much every year is the same in our house

[~me~]

Smiggles! DS1 loves it. I got him and electric eraser ! They have heaps of stocking filler products, check them out online. I got mine from local Australia Post.

[ShootingStar]

Ive been told Big W have a range of "Stocking Stuffers", labeled as such at the moment.

[~me~]

Yep through Tear Australia. Did it one year for my family and they all looked at me blankly and then asked do I have to pay??? Family God Love them!

We got the oranges too.
I googled it to find out what the story was with the fruit and it turns out that they represent the gold that the original St Nicolas threw down chimneys as charity to poor girls. So they symbolise genorosity. Also back in the day an orange in the middle of winter would have been pretty awesome lol.
