What do most people put in Christmas stockings?

Most people fill Christmas stockings with small, thoughtful gifts like chocolates, candy canes, beauty products and quirky gadgets. Practical items such as socks, stationery, or mini toiletries are also popular.

We recommend choosing little surprises that bring joy without overwhelming the holiday budget.

What are some good snacks for stocking fillers?

Some great snack ideas for stocking fillers include gourmet chocolates, artisanal popcorn, flavoured nuts and even mini bags of trail mix. You could also add luxury lollies, small jars of jam or honey, fun-shaped crackers, or single-serve snack packs of dried fruit. For a savoury twist, consider gourmet crisps, cheese crackers, or a selection of jerky.
