Christmas gift guide: Stocking Fillers online shop

I am a big fan of bargains and I'm always on the lookout for great shops with not so big prices especially when it comes to buying presents/stocking fillers for Christmas. 

I have massive stockings for myself and L which we kept empty last year as I thought that L is too small to care and it just slipped my mind that I need to fill them. My husband didn't have a stocking which he pointed out was a little bit unfair on him. 

This year thanks to Stocking Fillers I have a stocking and a stocking filler for my darling husband and a little gift for L which hopefully will take up most of the space in the stocking.

"The Stocking Fillers website first went live in 2007, set up to make shopping for Christmas stockings and presents that little bit easier. We’ve been growing ever since, with a huge range of toys, games, gadgets and more that make ideal stocking fillers for Christmas morning. And we’re not just talking about children’s Christmas stockings either, as we have a wide selection of grown-up gifts too!

If you’re looking for an even easier way to get gift stuffed stockings at the end of the bed on Christmas day, then we’ve also got a collection of pre-filled Christmas stockings. There are several to choose from, each tailored to a different age range and gender to ensure it’s filled with things they’ll love. Each one is only £20 and is packed with contents that are valued at £30 or more, saving you £10 on the cost of the great gifts inside.

Of course, if you’ve already sorted the stockings and want something a little bit bigger, we’ve also got a large selection of big Christmas gifts and presents for you to look through. Check out our wide selection of toys that are sure to keep the kids happy, or why not browse through ourgifts for him or for her? We’ve also got lots of lovely little top-up gifts that are perfect for when you want to give that little bit more".

Speaking of presents, L is a big fan of cats and dogs and when I saw this cute fluffy kitten I could resist but to order it for L. 

This adorable kitten costs £22 and I think worth every penny as I know that L would be extremely happy to have a little toy pet which can move forward, meow, curl the tail and look up!

For my husband I have got an empty stocking (£3.99), it is 56cm long and is the same size to the ones I have for L and myself so we are truly equal this year. This traditional red stocking with white trim is made of plush fabric and ready to be filled with presents for your loved ones.

Why not to buy something silly for your friend or loved one?! I have opted for Silly Socks (£3.99) for my husband. We have all seen a man wearing socks with sandals, looks ridiculous!? And yet there are men out there who made it a trend. 

My husband will never wear anything like that but I thought it would be interesting to see his reaction when he sees these socks. White silly socks have a sandals print on them which gives you that embarrassing/Roman look, they are quite practical as well as will fit almost all sizes and are 37cm long to top up this ridiculous look.

What would you pick from the website?Disclaimer: I was sent the items mentioned above for the purpose of this review/gift guide. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Christmas gift guide: Picture Proud unique personalised gifts + discount code

I have came across Picture Proud couple of years ago and since then was following their progress. 

"Picture Proud all started because my closest friend was due to have her first baby (so a big thank you to you Lorraine) and I wanted to send a little something that was different rather than flowers or clothes. I wanted a unique gift, a gift that had a wow factor, but most of all a gift that would be a lasting memento.

...Since then, you can see I have compiled a collection of my own unique designs, together with some exciting new designs for the future. Since starting Picture Proud I’ve had my own child, Charlotte, she’s just so adorable, and as a mum you so want them to have the best. So I’ve grown Picture Proud as a company alongside my pregnancy with Charlotte, thinking about what sort of gifts everyone would like.

Our products are fantastic gifts for all occasions, maybe a new arrival, a christening, a special birthday, Christmas, get well, Easter or simply because people want to buy something a little different.

We now supply gifts for all ages and all occasions. If there is anything specific you are looking for, then please do get in touch and we will be glad to see if we can help!

One thing I am proud of though is that throughout the years we continued to offer quality hand-made products crafted here in the UK. We know our customers appreciate the craftsmanship that goes in to all our personalised items, they know they are purchasing a product that will last a lifetime and will be treasured for many years to come".
