25 of the best Christmas stocking fillers [2022]

Stocking fillers for men

From boyfriend stocking filler ideas for your new squeeze to husband stocking filler ideas when you’ve been wed for 20 years or more, here are all the best Christmas stocking fillers for him.

BBQ tools set

Yes, the fact that this appears on the men’s stocking filler ideas list means that we’re drawing on our own experiences of spouses taking control of the outdoor grill.

And while they’re at it, we’ve overheard them comparing their (ahem) tools and seen them polishing them up so they’re nice and shiny.

A complete or even boxed set of BBQ tools is perhaps surprisingly affordable. Granted, it’s not likely to fit into an actual stocking, but otherwise it’s sure to go down a storm on Christmas Day.

LED Beanie

Another of those cheap stocking fillers for him that’s genuinely useful is the beanie hat with a built-in LED light. It’s especially good for those who walk the dog or go for a run in the dark.

It’s like walking around with a hands-free head torch that you simply switch on when you need to see your way more clearly.

Should you wish to push the boat out a little more, you can even opt for one with integral speakers or that’s made from ultra warm materials.

Card multi tool

While this is admittedly one of those stocking fillers for your boyfriend, dad, husband or brother that they may just show off to their mates more than anything, the practicality means it beats most funny stocking fillers for him hands down.

Whether he’s into camping, fitness, gardening or survival programmes featuring Bear Grylls or former members of the special forces, this is one of those gifts that can be stashed in wallet until it comes in handy one day.

With 40 or more functions on some of these, this is one of those stocking fillers for dad that he’ll love to find new uses for.

Light-up chopsticks

Is it just us, or does it seem that no man can resist a gadget that lights up? Yes, these LED-lit chopsticks are likely to gather dust in a drawer for some of the time – until his mates are round sharing a Chinese takeaway and he can’t resist showing them off.

Or when he wants to have a light sabre fight with the youngest member of the family, in fact. So yes, these will see the light of day (we’re aware of the pun) more often than you might imagine.

May the force be with him this Christmas.

Gear ties

Ooer Mr Grey! We’re not talking cable ties here, though; rather we’re suggesting something that will tidy up all those wires and keep headphones neatly stored away.

These reusable, twistable ties are great for tech enthusiasts who are in danger of letting all their cabling get out of control.

Go for black so they’ll blend in with the wires themselves, or pick a bright colour to make finding their headphones easy to find in that overstuffed man drawer. (Come on. We know every home has one.)

Stocking fillers for women

Whether you’re looking for stocking fillers for mum or wife stocking fillers ideas, you can find all the finest stocking filler ideas for her right here.

Detangling brush

High on the list of Christmas stocking fillers for her is a detangling hairbrush. Every girl – or boy with longer hair – needs one, trust us, making this a good present for kids, tweens, teens and grown-ups.

Options range from the original Tangle Teezer brand to products from a variety of other manufacturers. The Head Jog paddle brush is also a good choice, as it has a proper handle and gets great reviews.

If you want Harry Potter stocking fillers, there’s even a silver detangling brush decorated with the famous logo.

Ugg socks

A pair of Ugg socks is one of the best wife or girlfriend stocking fillers ideas when they won’t be parted from their comfortable sheepskin boots.

You can buy socks designed to wear beneath, or a pair that are perfect for donning when lounging around the house.

We adore the fleece-lined crew sock with pom pom for this purpose, or the gorgeous leopard-print hosiery available in pale pink or neutrals. Oh, and the Nessie fleecy socks in a cosy shade called Lotus Blossom.

Hair drying turban

Next up on the list of stocking fillers for a girlfriend ideas is the hair drying turban. While most women are experts at neatly twisting a towel around their wet locks, it feels heavy and can even pull on the strands themselves, leading to stress-induced breakage.

A hair turban is much more gentle – and dries far faster too. Made from microfibre – some of which has been woven from bamboo – they come individually or in packs of 2 or 3.

There are lots of colours to choose from, and buying one of these might even cut down on drying time. As well as the washing of bulky towels.

Silk eye mask

One of the most luxurious stocking fillers for your wife, BFF or girlfriend is a silk eye mask. We know only too well here in the Gifting office that once tried there’s no going back.

A silk eye mask doesn’t only feel luxurious, it also helps to block out light. This leads to increased melatonin production, which in turn can mean you drift off to sleep more quickly.

There are other potential uses too – if we mention ‘consenting adults’ does that give you some idea of what we may be alluding to? 😉

Shower steamers

While we all love the idea of an hour-long soak in the bath, how often does that actually happen in everyday life?

Whether you want deluxe or cheap stocking filler ideas for her, shower steamers are up there with the best. They’re like bath bombs for the shower, releasing glorious scents to perfume the bathroom.

There are lots to pick from – in all pack sizes, scents and for all budgets.

Stocking fillers for teenagers

This list of teenage stocking fillers ideas is perfect for those tricky customers who don’t slot into the kids or adults categories.

Touchscreen gloves

No teen can bear to parted from their smartphone for, like, more than 10 seconds, right? So help them scroll and type (faster than the speed of light from what we’ve seen) even when out in winter with a pair of touchscreen gloves.

While many come in a high tech kind of black, there are other types too that no-one would even guess were actually screen-friendly. Nordic style, feminine pink, cool grey or two-tone, you can take your pick.

Surely one of the best stocking fillers for any teen who lives in a cold climate (i.e. the British Isles.)

Lip balm

If your teen is prone to chapped lips, sets of lip balms to see them through the year make great beauty stocking fillers.

You can pick up a pair of Burt’s Bees lip balms for under a fiver, or go for a 4 pack to give them more choice. They also do a ‘Mistletoe Kiss’ gift set with tinted and shimmering formulas.

There are lots of cruelty-free sets to pick from, featuring flavours such as citrus, vanilla, coconut and cherry.

Temporary tattoos

If you have a teen who’s keen on being etched by the tattooist’s needle, give them the less permanent option by gifting a set of temporary tatts.

Packs of less permanent body art make great stocking presents – and they can also get to try it out before they’re old enough to make the decision for themselves.

Plain black, multicoloured and large or small, there are temp tattoos available in so many styles, colours and sizes.

Colourful laces

A pair of colourful laces can transform even the most tired pair of trainers. They even come in no-tie styles for those whose laces are always coming undone.

To give them a wider choice, opt for a set containing several pairs of laces – surely one of the top teenage stocking fillers ideas around.

Plain shades, glitter, sparkle or even laces from Doctor Martens that are tailor made for their well-worn or brand new DMs, a pair of new shoelaces is one of those great novelty stocking fillers that will actually get used.

Airpods case

An airpods case is a dead cert if it goes with their main present, they don’t already have a case or you fancy treating them to a new design.

Cool stocking fillers for their beloved airpods include monogrammed versions, or those that look like a mini games console, ice cream tub or crisp packet.

Cases also come in leather or silicone with soft, pliable or hard, protective shells. From soft pink to metallic red or slick black, they’re available in all colours too.

Stocking fillers for children

In this section we’ve got children’s stocking fillers for 2 year olds and upwards here, right up to age 12.

Flipbook kit

One of the best stocking fillers for 10 year olds – or indeed younger or older kids – is a flipbook kit.

This creative set allows them to make their own flipbook, potentially keeping them buys for hours. That’s good news for all parents, surely?

The kits vary is their suitability for different age groups. Some come with an LED light box, while those aimed at younger kids are simpler and feature themes like dinosaurs, rockets and robots or butterfly and frog.

Kids’ bath bombs

If you want to find a gift for a kid of any age from toddler to teen, try a set of bath bombs. As long as their home isn’t bathtub-free, that is.

The Done by Nature Dino egg ones make great stocking fillers for 4 year olds, while we rate the unicorn set for little fashionistas.

Other options include the Poopsie Surprise pack, great value mega packs from Zimpli Kids or a spa-style set in a circular box for more grown-up girls and boys.

Noris Club colouring pencils

A quick straw poll in the Gifting office revealed the very attractively priced Noris Club range of colouring pencils from Staedtler to be the best ones around.

If you’re fed up with poor quality colouring pencils, invest in a 12, 24 or 36 pack of these for every shade they’ll ever need.

This pick of the kids’ Christmas stocking filler ideas is even more than good enough for adults who like to get in on the drawing and colouring act.

Kids’ scrapbook

Keep them busy right into the New Year with a scrapbook kit or plain book for kids to get creative with. They can use it to stick their drawings or scribbles in, or for collecting items like stickers, pictures or photos.

Kits come with everything they need for inspiration, and they make good stocking fillers for 6 year olds – as well as those who are a few years younger or older.

When viewed later, a scrapbook is like a time capsule for that part of their life, and you could even simply theme it ‘Christmas 2022’. Giving them a project to fill those too-long school holidays.

Bath finger puppets

Keep them busy in the tub for hours – freeing up their parents to catch up on household chores or simply to take a break – as they play with these finger-sized puppets.

This is a great one for younger kids – ideal stocking fillers for 4 year olds or around that age. We really rate the sets with one for each finger, which will surely keep them occupied for longer.

You might even be able to use them at the swimming pool too – as long as you don’t mind diving down to retrieve them when dropped.

Stocking fillers for them

If you’re buying for a couple or even a family, here are some ideas for presents they can all enjoy sharing. Well hopefully they can… it is Christmas, after all!

Wine glass charms

Wine glass markers aren’t only pretty, they’re also among the more practical stocking filler gifts.

If they can never remember which glass is theirs, this is the ideal way to make sure they stick to drinking from the same vessel all day or night long.

They also bring colour and fun to the festive table. Choose between England, Scotland or Wales charms, flexible silicone markers and themed sets such as world travel, wine lovers or of course Christmas.

Reusable straws

No home should be without a set of washable drinking straws. It’s one of those Christmas – or Xmas – stocking fillers that’s very affordable, and won’t end up at the back of a cupboard either.

These eco friendly stocking fillers are available in so many styles and may be made from a variety of materials. You can purchase packs of 4, 6, 12 or even 16.

Whether you opt for silicone, metal or the most environmentally responsible materials you can find, these reusable straws are a household essential and they’re pretty funky too.

Mad Libs

If they’re not into Mad Libs yet, here’s your chance. You can buy this fun word game in so many variants, for kids and adults alike.

It’s one of those ideal small stocking fillers for the family or a couple to share. The 50-year anniversary edition contains all the ‘best of’ excerpts, so it’s ideal for seasoned pros and beginners alike.

Otherwise, pick between editions like ‘History Of The World, ‘Mad Libs From Outer Space’ or (the) ‘Dog Ate My Mad Libs.

Tea gift set

Many people are now making the move towards more adventurous types of tea. Yep, Britain’s favourite brew has had a makeover and there’s no better way to try a new blend than with a tea gift box.

When you want Christmas stocking gifts for them that they’ll be ultra keen to try out, you can rely on the nation’s favourite beverage. Albeit with a twist.

We love the Twinings set with a colourful union flag box, or there are tempting selection boxes from Taylor’s of Harrogate, Pukka or Whittard of Chelsea and more.

Agate drinks coasters

Every home needs a set of drinks coasters to save the wood furniture from being covered in rings from tea and coffee mugs, beer cans or water bottles.

While you might not (initially) think of this as an exciting present, have you laid eyes on the ultra stylish agate coasters you can now buy? Made from genuine gemstone slices, each one really is unique. Making this one of the more unusual stocking fillers around.

If agate doesn’t grab you, click the link below to see coasters made from the likes of quartz, slate, ceramics, concrete and bamboo.
