Stocking Fillers For Children - A Guide

Christmas is all about happy, smiling children. But that doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune on big, expensive Christmas presents. From our experience, children just love the small stocking fillers that you just buy in the week before Christmas Day because you thought they were cheap and you just wanted to fill up the Christmas Stocking. But it doesn't have to be that way. Being organised will increase your chances of giving your children a great Christmas.

So, if you're looking for stocking filler ideas your baby boy, girl or even pre-teenage children then here are some ideas of how to choose those perfect stocking fillers.

1) The first is obviously price. Consider having a range of stocking fillers cost differing amounts from under £2 some for under £5 a couple for under £10 and may be one or two at over £10.

For a pre-teen girl then a typical selection of stocking fillers could be:

 And for a pre-teen boy then you could consider getting these as stocking fillers:

 

2) The second is to work out exactly how big the Christmas stocking you already have is, or do you need to buy a huge one? This comes down to budget too. It's always nice to see their face when you get them a real red stocking will a white fluffy top. The big plastic ones might hold more, but they're less authentic. Just try and establish which your child or children would prefer.3) When you've worked out how much the stocking fillers actually cost and how many you'd like, this obviously determines how much they'd cost in total. You'll need to know if this matches your budget, or do you need to spend less on the larger Christmas presents.

4) What do they actually like? You know your children better than most. So make sure that when you browse the stocking fillers to buy at Prezzies Plus (or anywhere) that you keep in the back of your mind for things they'll like a great deal. But also be open to new stocking fillers you've not actually thought of before. Are your kids sporty, bookish, would they like outdoor gifts, something scientific, some funny stocking fillers? You don't have to think too hard about it, just try and be as relevant as you can be.

5) How easy are they to wrap? I know for some, including myself, wrapping presents isn't their favourite pass-time. Thankfully all the stocking fillers we sell here are fairly easy to wrap. If you're buying stocking fillers on the high street then take this into consideration.

6) Consider postage costs. The benefits of buying stocking fillers for boys and girls online is that they just get delivered to you in a box and you can keep it all safe and secure until you come to wrap them. The downside is that obviously to get them delivered to your door won't be free. Bare this in mind when you're buying Xmas presents. Here postage costs from £3.95 depending on weight to be sent 1st Class Royal Mail Packet Post or £6.95 for UK Mainland next day delivery and £8.95 for Highlands and Offshore orders. Any order that weights over 2kgs (which is a fair amount) may get a surcharge - but we'll let you know about this. You could order in the comfort of your living room or office, or you could trudge through the crowded, dark street in the cold - we know that it’s worth £3.95 to spend time doing it this way.

7) Don't forget to check the suitability of the toy stocking fillers - especially if you're buying for toddlers. Many of our stocking fillers have small moving parts we'd suggest that you think hard about the suitability of the toys to the age of the child you're buying for.

8) Are you buying for your children or grandchild, nieces, nephews or your friends' kids? If so, you might like to ask them if there is any type of stocking fillers that they wouldn't like them to have - for instance toy guns or anything a bit too 'adult' for them.

9) Are your kids into collectables? Would they appreciate a stocking filled with Kimmidolls, Monster Dolls, Uglydolls, Weenicons, Jewellery Dummies or personalised classics? These toys and gifts have become very popular - but have they already got some of them? Make sure if you're buying collectables that you're not buying duplicates.

10) How long will the toys last? If you're buying a stocking filler for less than a fiver then you're not worried so much about it lasting for months. But if you're spending over a tenner then you'd like to make sure that it won't be lost behind the back of the sofa until you next move house. Have a little think about how much use your child will get out of the toy - or if you're just not too worried about that?

Whatever you do, make sure that your child has a fantastic Christmas!
