Christmas stockings - what do you fill them with ?
My Ds is now 21 but still wants a stocking for Christmas morning. Heres what I've got so far
Male age 21
1. DVD - I buy used / preloved from @mazon as he likes old 80's action movies and have got 4 with delivery for £8.86
2. pair of Christmas socks - 99p (bit of a tradition each year in our house to have naff xmas socks)
3. cats cradle - bit of a jokey / reminiscent present (I will probably end up playing with this !!) 99p also from @mazon
4. bloke tin - found in B&M for £1.99 cheaper version of "man tin" which can be bought online
5, Nivea for men moisturiser bought whilst on offer at wilko half price £3
6. old spice deodorant bought on offer - £1.50
I will probably end up filling the bloke tin with packs of chocolates / sweets on offer & chocolate coins and will bake some cookies / muffins.
Looking forward to some suggestions / inspiration - feel free to add what you have bought / made for your girls & boys stocking (or husbands & wives !)
