    If you have a small budget and want more than 1 or 2 stocking fillers your best bet is to have a wander around Poundland. It amazes me the things you can find in there!

    Hi,

    In my DH(who is 42:rotfl:) stocking I have the following from memory:-

    A tub of screen wipes for his computer(Poundland)
    A giant Gold chocolate coin(Aldi)
    A tube of Minstrals(Home bargins)
    A pair of socks with the cookie monster on(Poundland)
    A bottle of Crabbies Ginger Beer
    A bottle of Budwiser bbq sauce
    Magic tree air freshner for his car

    I think thats it, if i see any other useful bits this week I will add them but these probably all won't fit in the socking I have.

  • Christmas beers/ales? Morrisons have some at £1.50 a bottle, not sure if the other supermarkets are doing any, they had about 4 with Christmassy names.

    Last year I put a mini screwdriver with different attachments in my husband's stocking - it has been so useful, he comments every time he uses it!

    I also got his main present which he "had" to have early a camcorder. I got him a jumper from costco and also got him a vax hoover in the vax sale (we don't live together yet)

    So he's done well this year
