Tips for choosing
Mix something to eat, something to do and something to keep
A chocolate treat, a puzzle or craft, and a small keepsake makes a stocking feel complete, whatever the age.
Think about the shape
Long, thin items like pens, socks and crayons slide down easily. Save chunky items for the top, where they make the stocking look full.
Set a total, not just a per-item limit
Five £3 fillers add up to £15. Decide your overall budget first, then pick.
Questions people ask
