Stocking filler , christmas gift guide ideas for children 2017

Christmas is coming guys and if like me you find buying for your children's stocking really hard, then this is the gift guide for you. I have put together 8 items that i feel any child would love to find left in their Christmas stocking All of these items have  been very kindly to gifted to me in exchange for inclusion within my Child gift guide but all views are my own. 




Now a toothbrush and matching toothpaste might not seem like the most exciting of stocking fillers , But when you add children's cartoon images such as these minions then they become a much more fun and still practical item, You can find these items on boots online website and also in store, the RRP is £7 for the electric toothbrush and the 50ml toothpaste is only £1 ! Electric toothbrushes are the way forward to tooth hygiene, Its recommend changing your toothbrush about every three months, This can change with children tho so always keep an eye of the condition of the brush. 


A clothing item is always a hit in a stocking, But don't feel you need to stick with the norm socks and pants! these Band tee-shirts are one of a kind and can be found online via sum of my experiences family based from east Sussex the idea of the brand came from making own Christmas gifts one year, They are printed from photos that they have taken from gig that they have personally attended. we went for Guns N’ Roses tee shirt with a photograph of Slash in infamous top hat and guitar was taken at Guns N’ Roses Not in This Lifetime gig at London Stadium on Friday 16th June 2017. £19.99 from ages 2-13 years old and matching in adults tee for £25.99 


no stocking would be complete with out a good book, The idea behind wonderbly is to take your child's name and place them within the book, So with this classic tale of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka's chocolate factory it isn't Charley that visits the factory but your child ! I know Bodhi will love this (Who wouldn't ?) Prices start from £19.99 for soft cover and £25.99 for the hard cover. You could win a Wonderbly book of your own a Rafflecopter giveaway  



This gift could also double up as the stocking/santa sack, its so big ! it would be perfect for either toy storage or for a washing basket in your child's room you can find them on aplaceforeverything in the clearance for only £7 the website is full of items that would suit the whole family, The cowboy print reminds me of cath kidson great fit for any child's bedroom and not something that will be out grown in a few months like most phases children seem to have. 


I love Sugru my dad always raves about it I can't wait to see what Bodhi creates with it, it is aimed at 8+ so i will supervise him with it Not only is this stuff kid-safe, it’s also virtually kid-proof. Sugru is the only mouldable glue on the planet that sticks to almost anything - including wood, ceramics, metal, glass, plaster, stone, most plastics and some fabrics. It even sticks to things that bend because the glue itself​ ​becomes​ ​flexible​ ​once​ ​it​ ​has​ ​cured. The website sugru has so many ideas for how the product can be used. 


TOP TRUMPS is the classic card game that has gifted to kids big and small since the 1970’s, now it's going back to its roots with a retro sets, remaking six Top Trumps classics, We went for Horror as Bodhi loves all things dark and a little weird! We have had hours of fun playing this game after dinner, Its the size of the game i love , Pop it in your bag then if your waiting at the doctors or visiting family you've always got a game to play, Bodhi is nearly 6 so having to read and use his number is also a great learning side to the game. Buy online via amazon RRP per set is £4.99 others from the retro set include cars / fantasy and football its a hard choice to make! 


      Moving away from the classic chocolate coins ? why not pop a packet of Jelly belly in your child's stocking this Christmas these 60g packs come in either batman or wonder woman , jelly bean flavours in the DC Super Hero Mix: shimmering versions of Berry Blue, Blueberry, Cream Soda, Sour Lemon, Very Cherry and Wild Blackberry you can buy online and pick from the DC range of items jellybelly the 60g packet is only £2.15 or you could pick up a x3 bundle of superman , batman and wonder woman in a smaller 28g packs for £2.88 


The last item would be a great way to spend Christmas afternoon once all the turkey has been eaten and you just need to chill out aimed at ages 4+ and for 2-4 players this really is a family game. The aim of the game is to collect x5 creatures you do this in a race to find the creatures shown on the cards on the puzzle board before the other players, the nice thing is as the board is made as a puzzle you can't cheat and remember from the last time you played. I am looking forward to playing this game with my family on Christmas day. You can pick it up on amazon for £19.99
