I've decided to get a head start with this mammoth feat and get thinking about Paul's stocking. As children we always had a stocking with little, cheap(ish) gifts that we'd open in our parent's bed. We've continued this tradition as adults (but we're mainly in our own beds now!) So, every year I have done Paul a stocking which is much harder than doing them for my mum and sisters. We now have a fairly standard list for our stockings, but this needed male-ing up for the husbands and boyfriends... here are my ideas for this year.
1. A Christmas Tree decoration (make sure you like it too as it'll be on your tree... i.e. no Darth Vader heads!)
2. Something to do/play like 'Beer in a Matchbox' - available from www.notonthehighstreet.com
3. A big bar of his favourite chocolate
4. Miniatures of his favourite tipple - check out www.justminiatures.co.uk for a huge selection
5. Novelty underpants (be careful if you Google this, it's quite a sight!) - these are from www.bhs.co.uk
6. Novelty socks - available pretty much everywhere (Primark is probably a good bet)
Well, that's the basics covered. Then if your boy is anything like mine, he's not a fan of 'tat', he has to have things he'll use... try some of these:
1. Football soap on a rope (you can pretty much get any ball to suit his favoured sport)
2. Mini screwdriver kit - this is from www.screwfix.com
3. Lightsaber pen (most 30 something men are Star Wars fans!)
4. Phone cover - from www.notonthehighstreet.com
5. Nanoblocks - this is really tiny lego, a proper challenge!
6. Not exactly something he needs but it would definitely get a play on Christmas Day - remote controlled car in a can - find similar on www.amazon.co.uk
If you have any other ideas for stocking fillers for 'him' please let me know!
Happy Shopping
