Christmas Stocking Ideas

Christmas Stocking Ideas
At Christmas time I like to get people gifts that I know they will like and use. Yes I know this is the intention probably of everyone reading this post, giving something that they wouldn't buy themselves but will still like and use is a challenge. 

This challenge becomes even harder when someone sets a budget or a theme to the gift buying. Being confined to buying something that is small enough to fit in a stocking or to fit a theme within Secret Santa is really difficult. 

What do you buy Bob in accountants who you have only spoken to once in four years? 

So I thought I would share some Secret Santa ideas and possible stocking filler ideas: 

Smallest Champagne

2. Headphone splitters penguins* (£6.99) - We've all been there your on a train, on a flight bored, you want to be antisocial and listen to your music, watch the next episode of American Horror Story. Now you can keep it intimate this Christmas and buy a penguin headphone splitter and watch it together.  
4. Rockabilly Vinyl Coasters* (£9.99) - Get on your dancing shoes and rock around the Christmas tree with these retro vinyl coasters.

5. Joe and Steph' Caramel Macchiato and Whisky popcorn (£12) - A foodie can never have to many foodie gifts.

6.Corkers (£5.95) - Instead of buying a boring bottle of wine, bring your corks to life.

7. Dress up fridge magnets*(£7.99) Make your photo's and fridge a lot more festive this year with these Christmas themed magnets. Go one better and decorate a picture and give it to a friend.

8. Rituals Energy Bubbles Bath (£13.50) sit back, relax and unwind in a wonderful bath of bubbles.

9.American Horror Story (£8.95) - I have been loving the first series and this little man has been a big part of it. Know someone who loves the show this is the perfect gift.

10. Portable Charger Mr Boost * (£19.99). As a blogger my phone battery is constantly running out and I never seem to be near a charging point. This cute little carton is the perfect charger to leave in the car or in an overnight bag.

What perfect stocking presents do you have to share? The theme of my Secret Santa this year is animals. Any ideas gratefully received. 

*Please note that some items I got for the purposes of reviewing but this did not effect my review and honesty.

  4. I also loved the first season of American Horror Story. The first season was the best to me so far. The smallest bottle of bubbly and the whiskey popcorn are ones I must try. Actually, I may just go ahead and buy that whiskey popcorn for Christmas because it sounds too interesting to pass up.

  7. There's some great ideas here, especially the phone charger...I'd like that for myself! The third series of American Horror Story is my favourite so far, I thought the acting was incredible! Animal theme is a hard one...that headphone splitter is a really good idea! x

    1. I've only seen the first season looking forward to seeing the rest. The phone charger is so sweet and looks perfect on a desk. I use mine when I am downstairs but also useful for the car. Work did really well with the animal theme Lucy x

  8. Loved the list! My favourite is the tiny champagne bottles. Maybe we can get them donated and put in the goodie bags at the next #LDNBLoggersTea? :-)

  9. 'Bob in accounts who you've only spoken to once in 4 years' - haha, made us smile, very true! You want to get presents that are special & have some thought, but there are situations where this is not possible unfortunately. The coasters are cute and the charger is so handy, good idea :-)
