Stocking fillers – ideas for boys

The boy’s main presents were bought in dribs and drabs over the last few months and although they are yet to be wrapped (I’ll be having a wrapping marathon one evening next week) we are all done. Thankfully, they’ve not veered too far away from what they have asked Father Christmas for.

We’ve had stockings ever since E was born. I purchased his from Mothercare in 2010 and did the same again with a 2013 version for M (I’ve linked below to this year’s equivalent). It’s become part of our Christmas traditions to let the boys have their stockings on Christmas Eve along with their Christmas Eve box.

Here’s what’s in them this year (my boys are aged 3 and 6):

Large tube of Smarties

Silicone roll bottle
We have the blue shark version for E and given how often he forgets to bring his water bottle home from school I think this rolled up version would be perfect!

Smiggle Football Cheers
Another perfect filler for E. I can well imagine he will be having hours of fun with this!

Hot Wheels Aeroplane

Skylanders Superchargers vehicles
Before the Minecraft obsession came Skylanders on PS4. We managed to pick a couple of vehicles/figures up from TK Maxx are a couple of quid each which was a real bargain!

Travel Guess Who
Who doesn’t love a good game of Guess Who? This will be ideal for the boys on long car journeys.

Paw Patrol Face Flannel

 

Anki OVERDRIVE Supercar – Big Bang We are huge fans of Anki OVERDRIVE (you can read our review here) so we are adding a new Supercar to the collection. We are looking forward to some competitive racing on Christmas Day!

Blaze Race and Learn Wipe-Clean Book
We have a Thomas version of this book that was bought for E which he absolutely loved so I am hoping this one will go down just as well for M! He is starting to write some of the letters of his name now so this would be a good activity to help him.

and finally:

Stocking
This is this year’s equivalent of the boy’s stocking which I have personalised.

What sort of things do you put in your children’s stockings?
