Stocking Filler Ideas

We’re almost a month away from Christmas with only two paydays left. So, I’d say now is a better time than ever to start thinking about the Christmas shop.  I just can’t wait! I don’t know what I’m more excited for, time off work or the Christmas diner, which the Nanna does a splendid job of every year I have to say!

What makes Christmas really special is all the extra effort that goes into making the festive season feel more special than any other time of year, with the likes of John Lewis and there Disney televised advert and Christmas trees being decorated at Claridges by Fashion Designers Dolce and Gabanna.

What also makes this time of year so special is all the finishing touches, all the lights on the high streets walks to people pulling out all the stops to decorate their homes with a lavish display of lights. The reefs on the front door to decorating your walls with the tinsel and Christmas cards, all helps in making this season feel like no other time of the year.

One of my favourite Christmas traditions is having a stocking, now I’m little old to be hanging it out on the fire place, leaving milk and a mince pie for Santa along with a carrots for Rudolf and the rest of the reindeers. But still after all these years there is something so poignantly enchanting about waking up on Christmas morning and immediately undoing the Christmas stocking.

For years now my bubble has been burst somewhat because I always end up getting knick knacks that I just don’t want and totally forget about by Boxing Day. I’m not ungrateful, but clementine’s just why? It’s just bit of anti-climax and on speaking with friends this is a common problem. So with this in mind, why not try and make this year different with a little nudge to Santa so that those stockings are filled with delightful treats that will serve you all year round? I’m not saying to try and get all of your presents orchestrated in this way, but it never hurt anyone plus it makes sense…no point wasting things you don’t like.
