Stocking Fillers With the Xmas Factor

Stocking fillers are perhaps one of the best bits about Christmas - sure you get all those big fancy gifts all smartly wrapped under the tree too - but there's something really exciting about those personal and humorous little stocking fillers that turn up in the foot of an old festive sock!

For techie lovers
They'll love the cute little Reindeer Mo-pod, a little tiny reindeer that spins, flashes and dances when your mobile phone rings! It's a gadget from Japan which won 'Gift of the Year' in 2007 for its innovation and general addictiveness! You'll certainly never miss a call again.

Otherwise parents can have fun with the 'control-a-kid' remote control gadget - really fun little stocking fillers which will amuse stressed-out parents everywhere who've always wished they could either turn down their teenager's 'volume' or get them to put the kettle on! Probably worth noting that it's not an actually scientifically-proven tool mind...

Humorists
Fun loving types - brothers or overgrown students - will probably enjoy stocking fillers like the on a roll 'crime scene' toilet paper. Presented in a clear gift box, this printed 'police style tape' loo roll helps seal off the bathroom when a emergency has occurred and evacuation may be necessary....Or bring some real aesthetic style and class into your home decor scheme with the 'splat stan' silicone rubber coaster. Featuring a 'splatted' stan, reminiscent of playdough characters from your youth -Stan protects your Mum's fancy table, whilst making your cup look, erm, stylish. Stan belongs to the Dead Fred's series - one to impress your friends with or cause a bit of a stir in the office....

Otherwise why not try some classic comedy stocking fillers - such as the amazing flying monkey! A soft toy with a magical cape and a secret power - flying monkey is like a catapult and he soars through the air for up to fifteen meters! Even better, he makes noisy ape sounds as he flies! House of entertainment guaranteed, for kids aged six to sixty...

Romantic stocking fillers
Why not show you really care with a loving 'last Rolo, and not the half-melted hair-covered one in your jeans pocket either, but a beautiful gold plated souvenir one in a gorgeous red box.

Garden gifts
Stocking fillers even get green, with funky little seed packs, designed to get even the clumsiest fingers growing away! Try a little gift pack of organic garden mint - a perennially popular herb which brightens up everything from salads to mojitos! The seeds also geminate in just two to three weeks, so impatient folk will be able to harvest their 'crop' very quickly! You can get other garden kits too - including tea and coffee growing kits for caffeine addicts, or even a grow-your-own bonsai tree, for those wishing to bring a bit of zen into your life!

Personalised gifts
Stocking fillers get an extra-special touch when they feature the recipient's name - such as the personalised film lover's diary, featuring twelve classic flim images to brighten any cinema buff's day...All on high quality paper with a glossy luxurious finish - you pick your loved one's name and our techie experts will do the rest! Similarly, why not try a personalised dressing room sticker - designating the sanctity of your dressing room, and keeping those fans (or demanding family members) out to let you straighten your hair in peace... or present your loved one with a cute little personalised print, with their name spelt out in one of the many images on offer - clouds in the sky, chocolate sweets, flowers, marked into sand etc - these stocking fillers are certainly more stylish and glamourous than your average stocking fillers!

Quirky gifts
For real retro fun, bring back the old days with a 'Jim'll Fix It' soap on a rope! It's a fully licensed replica badge from the famous kids' programme, and comes presented on a red satin ribbon. Going into the shower never was so much fun! For similarly quirky stocking fillers you could also try the wedge of cheese door stop - or encourage your creative kids to write down their pearls of genius with the cute 'ideas' notebook - who knows, it may eventually make its way into a museum exhibition one day when they're rich and famous....

As you can see, stocking fillers have come an awfully long way since the time when all anyone could expect was a sugar mouse, a satsuma and a piece of coal! Online shopping has brought a real wealth of funny, unusual and downright bizarre little stocking fillers right at your fingertips - so get clicking and bring some smiles to your loved ones' faces this Christmas!
