Stocking Thriller ? Christmas Stocking Filler Gift Ideas

Christmas stockings have long been part of the tradition of Christmas but we've moved on from the days of apples, oranges and lumps of coal. These days we look for far more thrilling gifts to stuff into our stockings, but racking our brains for ever innovative Christmas stocking fillers takes up energy that could be put to better use decorating the tree and enjoying mince pies!

If you're suffering from stocking filler brain block take a look at a few of the unusual Christmas stocking gift ideas I've dug up below - each one is under £15.

Personalised Stocking Fillers

Everyone loves personalised gifts. It's one thing to pick a gift up and give it a little shake to try and guess what it is. Maybe you'll rip a corner off before tearing the wrapping paper to reveal the surprise. It's quite another, and a big delight, to open the present and see your name or a message just for you!

Stocking Fillers for Kids

Kids really enjoy attention, and what could possibly be better than being the hero or heroine in some fantastic stories? Your child can star in a seasonal adventure story, visiting the North Pole to help Father Christmas sort and deliver all of the presents in time for Christmas.

Stocking Fillers for Him

I don't really like to admit it, but us men can be an awkward bunch when it comes to purchasing gifts at Christmas. We either have no idea of what Christmas present we want, or we're wanting the newest 3D HD television! Simple things can still impress, particularly when it comes to stocking filler gifts. If the re-runs of Top Gear on Dave are anything to go by, men just can't get enough of it. But there's one thing that bugs me - who is The Stig?! A personalised Stig poster could well uncover the truth, exposing a friend as the real Stig from Top Gear.

Stocking Fillers for Her

Men often have almost as bad a track record at purchasing Christmas gifts for their wife or girlfriend as they do at suggesting Christmas gifts for themselves! Purchasing some thoughtful stocking gifts for the significant woman in your life is a terrific way to gain extra brownie points - there's only so many earrings a girl can have! For a light hearted stocking filler, have them feature on spoof magazine cover with their name and photo. From fashion to food, from sports to weddings, a spoof magazine is sure to raise some laughs on Christmas day! For something a bit more romantic, consider a personalised bottle of Christmas red wine - who knows it might even get shared!

So there you have it, stocking fillers needn't fill you with dread! Fill your boots with these great stocking filler gift ideas.
