The best stocking fillers for kids are small, useful and a little bit magical – and none of them are plastic tat that's forgotten by Boxing Day. We've sorted ours by price, starting at £3.95, so you can fill a stocking in one order and hit free UK delivery over £50.
Most parents we speak to budget £3 to £10 per item and five or six items per stocking. Mixing a couple of £3.95 craft kits with one 'hero' filler around £10 keeps the total sensible and the stocking full.
Choose things they can use straight away: Rockahula mini clips, a Snap & Match card game, Meri Meri stickers and a Little Dutch memo game. Avoid kits with small beads until they're a little older.
Cotton Twist kits show a recommended age on each product page – peg dolls and pom-pom kits suit 4+, while beading and braiding kits are best from 6+. All are designed to be finished in one sitting.
Yes. Add gift wrapping to your order and we'll wrap the items before dispatch. The Rockahula Christmas Cracker Gift Set comes in its own cracker, ready to pop in a stocking.
Order by 17th December (Royal Mail Tracked 48) for guaranteed UK Christmas delivery. Orders placed before 1pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day.
