Nowdays it seems the small stockings we used years ago have been upgraded to Santa sacks.
These have their advantages, they make it much easier to get goodies to fit in properly rather than trying to cram them into a stocking shaped bag that they have no chance of fitting into. The minus side is they tend to be bigger but then adding a bit of shredded paper so they have to search through can make this more fun and take up some space too.
There are so many fun stocking filler options for kids. It’s great to see their little faces light up as they open each of the surprises stuffed inside. Mine love to sit together, tear open the packaging move on quickly to the next items whilst discretely looking to see what their siblings have opened.
My gift guide here includes a great range of goodies for children that they are bound to love.
Fingerlings
We reviewed our second type of Fingerling recently. There are loads of these cute little critters to chose from including raptors, pandas, unicorns, dragons and more (£11.25-£14.99) . My son loved the two types we reviewed as he is crazy about dinosaurs. They are cute little toys that grip onto your finger, move and make sounds. If you love the sound of these why not pop over to my Fingerlings Untamed T-Rex post for your chance to WIN one!
X-SHOT Bug Attack Predator
We reviewed another from the Zuru range The X-SHOT Flying Bugs Buster over the summer and loved it. The Bug Attack Predator is much smaller and suitable for indoor play. It comes with darts and a bug that sticks to windows which moves down the glass as you fire at it. These are easy to get hold of having discovered this one for £5.97 in the toy aisle at Asda. Isn’t it a perfect stocking filler I know my girls and boy would enjoy this.
Slime
When asked what my children wanted for Christmas one of the items that was mentioned was slime in various forms. My children like many others I know are totally obsessed with the gooey, gloppy, stuff. We discovered Zimpli Kids Slime Play and Slime Baff last year and the kids were totally hooked.
Since then we have discovered that they have numerous other products available including Crackle Baff, SnoBall Play, Gelli Play and Unicorn Slime Play to name but a few.
Newer items include this fabulous product for dinosaur lovers:
And not forgetting this one for unicorn and fairy fans:
They look like so much fun don’t they?????

Sweet Pups
For children that love cuddly toys these are a lovely idea. They’re super cute. There’s a good range to collect, they look and smell like pastries!!! The Sweet Pups can be turned one way to look like a pasty and another to look like an adorable little pup.
Cry Babies Magic Tears
These super cute collectable dolls make a lovely stocking filler and is suitable for boys and girls. All my children loved these especially my son who discovered that they doubled up as water squirters.
