Even the most ardent believers that Christmas is a
time for giving and not receiving will readily admit that the anticipation of
finding a stocking full of goodies whether they be of any practical use or not
and no matter how old you are - quite enchanting. stocking
fillers can be the perfect opportunity to surprise and amuse,
to be as personal and indulgent as you like. But for anyone who can still
remember a time when they had to be grateful for a sock full of fruit on
Christmas morning; times have changed. The list of treats and trinkets intended
especially for the stocking is literally endless, so here are just a few tips
on how to select the perfect Christmas gifts.
Who Cares About The Calories?
Including someone's favourite chocolates in their Christmas stocking might be
common practise, but what about something a little more unique? You could
invest in some personalised sweets for that ultimate declaration of affection,
or make someone smile with just a little bit of thought and what better way
than a 'Silver Love Heart Sweet', or give your 'last Rolo' to the one you
really love? Complete with a presentation box, those familiar with these famous
sweets can purchase a solid silver or gold version with their own personalised
message a beautiful gift, but not to be eaten.
Growing Your Own
Horticultural gifts can be a great way to get everyone interested in all things
natural, and with little effort required, the house could soon be filled with
an array of magical plants. A 'Grow ItChilli Plants Gift Box' provides everything
you need to grow five of the world's spiciest varieties of chilli plants,
including the growing pots, compost discs and plant markers. There's also a Chilli Pocket
Garden for those who like
the taste but prefer minimal effort; simply add the seeds to the cleverly
designed foil packet and wait for the chilli to grow. But for those who prefer
the more gentle approach and have a little bit more patience, then a Bonsai
Tree Gift Box might make a more ideal and personal gift. Perfectly sized for a
window sill or desk, the bonsai tree has a calming quality and by its own
nature would suit someone who has the fortitude to let it gradually bloom.
For any member of the family who isn't quite awake of a morning until they've
had their intake of tea or coffee, then a 'Grow It Tea and Coffee Gift Box'
combines the unique with the personal. Very few people can probably boast that
they grow their own tea leaves or coffee beans in their home, and with all the
equipment and tips needed to help the plants flourish, it really couldn't get
much easier. For the younger botanists in the family, then the 'Grow your Own
Mr Grasshead' is a fun way of getting children interested in nurturing plants.
By simply adding water, they will soon get to see him sprouting his own green
hair which can be styled and trimmed in any way.
Getting Creative
For those budding Blue-Peter presenters in the family, then why not help them
to embrace their creative flair by including a choice of card-making kits for a
much more personal Christmas message, or encourage a heart-felt thank you note
for those who have given generously. The 'Cheeky Monkey' card making kit is
ideal for all seasons and offers hours of creative fun for thosewellcheeky
monkeys in the family.
For those who like to give Delia a run for her money, or even for those who
need a kick start when it comes to creating something in the kitchen, then why
not send them a little encouragement with a traditional recipe book? 'Mrs
Manley's Christmas Treats' is a stocking sized satin embroidered book with a
host of recipes for those traditional festive delights.
Gadgets and Gizmos
T'is the season to be jolly and the Christmas stocking is a great excuse to
introduce those curious and Fun
Christmas gifts that we soon come to wonder how we ever managed without.
As Christmas can prove a costly time of year for many, what better opportunity
to encourage money-saving than a money bank? The 'Money Maze Bank' offers a
unique twist on the traditional piggy bank in that a puzzle must be completed
before money can be taken out. A humorous gift for those more spend-thrifty
members of the family perhaps, or a simple way of reminding children than money
needs to be earned.
For the latest in Japanese mobile phone accessories, a 'Mopod' might make an ideal
stocking filler. The pod interacts with mobile phones, with a range of
characters that light up and dance when the phone rings or a text message
arrives. These great little gadgets can be attached to any phone or even a
jacket or bag making them particularly handy for those who tend to lose their
mobile phones at the bottom of their handbags!
