Every year I get asked, “What are good stocking fillers for kids?”
Research shows that many of us are concerned that if we choose gifts under £5 that they will look cheap, tacky and break easily. That’s not the case at what2buy4kids – we spend many many hours searching for good quality stocking fillers for children.
And remember they all go through vigorous testing by our little toy experts! Below I’ve highlighted some of our favourites for this Christmas :
Bouncy Ball Kits
Coming in at number 1 is our Make Your Own Bouncy Ball Kit from our Weird Science Lab Collection. Priced at just £2.95, it really is a great stocking filler for kids age 8+.

Great you may think, but not ideal if you are looking for something for a younger aged child. Well not to worry, our number 2 stocking fillers are colouring books from the very talented illustrator and designer, Rachel Ellen. Her range of colouring books, priced at just £1.99 are fabulous for young children and there’s a great selection for both boys and girls. Add some colouring pencils or crayons – Our fairy tale, pirate and animal ones are £3.99, so another great gift to pop into the stocking.
Fart Machines
Another super cool stocking filler is our mini fart sound machine, priced at £4.50. Sure to be a great hit with kids on Christmas morning and no more explanation really needed!

Educational Toys
It’s always nice to pop educational toys or games into kids’ stockings. Our new Roald Dahl card games are just ideal. Priced at £4.99, and suitable for children age 5 to 12. Choose from Tip Toppling Times Tables, Spendiferous Spelling or Whiz Banger Mental Maths – typically, but wonderfully described by the great author himself. Another favourite with our toy testers.
Wooden Toys
For our very young customers little wooden trucks and trains are always very popular, and we have particularly fallen in love with the Orange Tree Toys range as these are safe for children from age 1. (Mini WOW toys are also worth mentioning here, a little more expensive at £5.99. But great stocking fillers for kids age 18 months to 5 years.)

Chocolate Pizzas
A Christmas stocking wouldn’t be complete without chocolate and it’s normally a selection box, but why not go for something a little different this year – a mini chocolate pizza or novelty Christmas themed chocolate bar?
