The Christmas stocking is designed for Santa to place small toys, hobbies, candy, coins and other small gifts when he arrives on Christmas Eve. It’s just not Christmas without hanging a Christmas stocking up in your home! Here are some awesome stocking fillers that won't make you feel like you're throwing your money away.

Nanoblock
Nanoblocks are smaller bricks that allow a higher level of detail and quality to your build which is not possible with normal-sized construction bricks. Nanoblocks due to their miniature size are perfect as a stocking filler. The wide range of pokemon builds and more will keep your kids playing for hours.

Cards
Cards are a classic stocking filler as they are small and compact, allowing you to fill up small gaps in your kid’s stockings. Traditional cards are great because you can play a variety of different games from goldfish to drinking games for those 18+. Playing cards are also great especially if they love pokemon cards, Star Wars, UNO and Monopoly.

Sluban Army Kits
Sluban Builder Army Kits are a great little gift idea for a stocking filler due to their size and price. With a huge range of different army builds, you can build anything from an aircraft to missile vehicles.

Smaller Items

Small items such as yoyo’s, slot cars and Hot Wheels cars are a great way to fill your stocking as they are small and won’t break the bank whilst providing hours of fun. Alternatively, these items can be used as collectors items to display at your desk at work or at home. We highly recommend slot cars as they can be a great collectors item or be used on your slot car set creating hours of fun. Don’t have a slot car track set? Feel the speed and check out Hobbyco’s range of track sets.

Model Kits

Starter model kits are a great way to fill up your stocking. They take up a little bit more room but are still compact. Starter model kits are always a great little project whether you are starting out and are trying to figure out the art of modeling or you have a little more experience and want to create a smaller model for display. Either way, they are a great little stocking filler.

Discovery #MindBlown

Blow your kids minds with these Discovery #MindBlown kits powered by Discovery Education and STEM. The size of these products make them a perfect stocking filler, plus they provide plenty of education fun for the kids these school holidays. Allow your children to dig into this set with the same tools as an archaeologist enabling kids to develop their hand-eye coordination and improve their patience. This kit is partnered with an app that teaches kids about archaeology and science making this kit not only fun but educational. The Discovery Mind Blown Excavation range is the perfect gift for future scientists 6 years and above.

Stocking Filler Tips

Tip 1- Make Your Stocking Full
Stocking fillers are a great festive tradition that makes buying presents interesting as you attempt to fill the stockings up while trying not to make the stocking explode, rip or tear at the same time! You want to make sure the stocking is full to keep everyone excited.

Tip 2- Tissue Paper
If you struggle to fill your stocking we recommend stuffing tissue paper at the bottom. This will also help you stick to your Christmas shopping budget. However, you may not have to do that with our Stocking Filler Category making filling your stocking easier this Christmas. Using tissue paper on the inside of the stocking can stop any ripping or tearing and improve the longevity of your favourite Christmas stocking.

Tip 3- You Don’t Have To Wrap
Here’s a helpful tip: if you want to hide what's in your stocking without wrapping multiple small and hard to wrap items, use tissue paper to cover the top. This is a great time saver!

When purchasing an easy-peasy stocking filler, it is important to think about the person’s passions, their interests and what they love. Happy shopping! Checkout more Christmas Blogs here. From all of us at Hobbyco, we wish you a safe and Merry Christmas.
