    I got some of these in my local poundland for my son's stocking (had been looking at them in PoundStretcher and they were £2.99 each)

    I picked a couple of pairs of these up in my local store (Bury) - good stocking filler

    In Wolverhampton I saw a lovely shower gel and 3 tealight set, would be a great chrimblemas stocking filler :)

    Can't remember what scent the shower gel was but I think it was a pinky-red colour.

    Stratford (East London) has some small cafetieres in yesterday. Proper glass ones that would hold about a mug of coffee (or maybe 2 small cups).

    In my local 99p Stores today:

    Japanese-packaged Veet In-Shower hair removal cream and sponge
    Couple of French packaged Clearasil / Biactol prodcuts
    Kiwi Sport express trainer cleaners

    Top should I / shouldn't I bargain: Pukka Pads A5 project books, which I swear by, usually £3 -£4.
    However - they are High School Musical branded :( Can't see that going down to well in my workplace!

    Poundland had an intersting Dragons Den folder, with a small "how to pitch" book, note pad and pen. Good stocking filler, perhaps?
