Christmas Stocking Fillers

Small gifts that set the tone for the day

A stocking works best as a mix: one thing to laugh at, one thing to solve, and one thing they'll actually use. Nobody has ever complained about too many socks in December, whatever they say in January.

The Warmies microwaveable sloth teddies are made for a cold morning on the sofa, and personalised dog and owner walking socks put the family pet on somebody's feet.

For the one who wants a challenge before breakfast, the Bletchley Park brain teaser book is properly difficult, while the Riddle a Day desktop flipbook spreads the puzzles out over the whole year.

Daft little things nobody needs

Every stocking deserves at least one gift with no purpose whatsoever. Micro Bricks with 26 classic arcade games will disappear into a pocket and not be seen again until Boxing Day, and the Venus fly trap in a tin is a windowsill pet that eats.

The big one at the bottom of the stocking

If you want the stocking to finish on a high, tuck an experience voucher in at the bottom. A £50 Experience Day Super-Voucher lets them pick their own treat, and Mega Choice for Two means they can take somebody with them. Experience vouchers last 12 months and eVouchers arrive by email within 15 minutes.

Smiles guaranteed, or your money back

Stocking fillers are bought in a rush, often late, and usually in bulk. Our Smile Guarantee covers them all: no smile, return the gift, get your money back.
