Awesome Christmas stocking fillers for under $10

Christmas is almost here and a lot of mums and dads everywhere are picking up decorations, presents and other goodies for the holidays.

Even though we don’t have chimneys in our houses here in Singapore, it’s still fun to hang Christmas stockings up and let the kids have fun rummaging through their loot.

If you’re wondering what exactly to put in those stockings without having to fork out even more money – because you already got them a main Christmas present, after all – here is a handy guide with ideas for lovely Christmas stocking fillers which are all under $10!

Travel-size games

If you plan on going on a year-end family holiday after Christmas, it’s a great idea to pack some travel-size games for your children to play with during the long car ride or flight.

There are different kinds of games available now in adorable mini versions, such as Uno, Battleship, Scrabble, Bingo, Othello, Chess, Checkers, and many more.

Where to get it: Toys R Us, Giant, NTUC Fairprice, Kiddy Palace.

Suitable for: All kids and those young at heart.

Small book

Give the gift of education by finding an age-appropriate book which will fit inside a Christmas stocking.

This is great for the receiver to flip through while waiting for the rest of the holiday guests to arrive, or for a perfect bedtime read to end off their magical day.

Where to get it: Popular, Kinokuniya, MPH, Times, BooksActually.

Suitable for: Everyone of all ages.

Toiletries

So maybe a stick of powder-fresh deodorant is not exactly everyone’s idea of an exciting Christmas gift, but you can get some pretty nice lip balms or body lotion which come in cute travel sizes – a perfect fit for the stocking!

Choose something with fun packaging or a Christmas themed scent such as peppermint, gingerbread, cinnamon, vanilla cupcake, or orange spice.

Where to get it: Watsons, Guardian, The Body Shop, Lush, LÓccitane, SaSa, Bath & Body Works.

Suitable for: Tweens and above.

Candy

Think minty candy canes, snowman marshmallow pops, little bags of jellybeans, Santa shaped lollipops and more!

Christmas is a time when some people like to indulge in a sweet treat or two, so give them some yummy candy to enjoy before they can dive into other delicious Christmas delights.

Where to get it: Cold Storage, NTUC Fairprice, Giant, 7’11s, Cheers, The Cocoa Trees, Candy Empire.

Suitable for: Everyone of all ages.

Sticker book

Another way to keep the little ones happy while you sip your egg nog and chit chat with your relatives are sticker books.

Some even come with fun scenes on each page and the stickers provided can be used to illustrate a story!

Where to get it: Popular, Daiso, Kinokuniya.

Suitable for: All kids.

Gold coins

As Christmas is the season of giving, being charitable and giving gifts to others is common practice, and everyone likes to receive a bit of money!

You can either drop in a few gold $1 coins into the stocking, or opt for a delicious alternative with some chocolate gold coins instead.

Where to get it: (For chocolate gold coins) Mustafa, Cold Storage, Giant, NTUC Fairprice.

Suitable for: Everyone of all ages.

Hair accessories

Little girls will have lots of fun dolling themselves up for the holidays and putting sweet hair accessories on to complete their look – in fact, perhaps even some "big" girls (i.e: Mummy!) will also like a sparkly hairband or a flower hairclip in their stocking this Christmas.

There are so many different kinds you can choose from such as bows, ribbons, clips, hairbands, scrunchies, fascinators, etc.

Where to get it: Watsons, Mother Care, Accesorize, Helen, H&M, Daiso.

Suitable for:Girls (young and old!).

Stationery

If you need something to occupy the little ones when they’re waiting for the Christmas turkey to be carved, colourful crayons from their stockings will keep them happy for a while.

Everyone else will also appreciate a lovely new pen, a nice blank journal, or a pretty floral print stapler to brighten up their desk at work.

Where to get it: Popular, Smiggle, Papermarket, Art Friend, The Little Happy Shop, Typo, Kikki K.

Suitable for: Everyone of all ages.

Socks

Instead of snow, Christmas time in Singapore is when we welcome the rainy weather so we can snuggle up in our sweaters and scarves without breaking a sweat.

Find some cute Christmas themed socks which will keep toes warm and bring a smile to the wearer’s face every time they glance down at their feet.

Where to get it: John Little, Marks & Spencer, H&M, Top Shop, Metro, Robinsons.

Suitable for: Everyone of all ages.

Gift vouchers

If you really don’t know what to get, there’s always the ever popular gift vouchers where the recipient can have fun buying something they have been eyeing, all thanks to your generous stocking filler idea!

Different places have different denominations, so it is totally up to your own budget as to how much you’re willing to give.

Where to get it: Most major department stores, toy stores, book stores and online shops.

Suitable for: Everyone of all ages.
