So me and my OH live together, we've done main presents but this is the 1st year we've had stockings up so I wanted to put a little something other than chocolate in them.

My budget is £5-£10 at max.

Any ideas anyone?

Thank you in advance

Lottery Ticket I always put one in the crackers too :T

Need to add a small book if I can find one, a satsuma and a lump of coal

I thought coal was for New Year? ie tall dark handsome bloke, shortbread and coal for first footing. Does it have meaning at christmas elsewhere?

I thought it was a 'threat' to naughty boys and girls who misbehave when Santa is watching!
Than again, I've been wrong before...once

I thought it was if you were 'naughty' Santa left you a lump of coal in your stocking instead of any presents

For me personally, this is more a sorta Valentines thing

True. But seeing as it's a 12 month thing I figured I could get away with it

Right, finished my OHs today. He has:

- Chocolate coins (25p)
- Whistle pop (everyone has one so we can make a song on Christmas morning ) (20p)
- Can of mountain dew (75p)
- Bottle of sour mash brew (£1.50)
- 'Invisible' hobbit figure (£2.30)
- Brain teasers book (99p)
- Touch screen gloves (£1)
- Shampoo/Shave gel (£1 each)
- Christmas lolly (75p)
- Tie (£2, primark)
- Socks (£1.50, primark)
- Glasses repair kit (£1)
- Emergency phone charger (£3, primark)
- Headphone winder (£2)
- Candy cane

The Thorntons have been transferred to my Dads stocking as they wouldn't fit in. Kinda misjudged the amount of 'extra' I needed to buy today, lol. But it's definitely all done and not tooooo expensive either! Combined with his actual presents I've kept under £70 which I'm more than happy with!

I've been doing mine a stocking for 10 years now blimey. He has got:
two ties one polka dot one christmassy
bottle opener thumb ring
spare earbuds (loses his constantly)
2 cds - big finish audio Dr Who, these might be shared with our son!
mini ferrero rocher pack
dark choc bar
a pack of windproof waterproof matches (we took up camping this year!)
an electric heated windscreen wiper
some interesting loose teas, tea cakes and a tea strainer
christmas socks
a little book about roman treasures
chocolate coins

that...might be it this year, as far as I can remember.
