It is such a fun time of year, gearing up for the Christmas period. Putting the tree up and decorating it, inviting friends for Christmas drinks, and buying gifts for loved ones are all heart-warming during this time.
There’s the work Christmas party, the last-minute Christmas shopping, and the movies we all watch at this time of year. The carol singing, the mince pies, and the possibility of snow – all these things make Christmas special. We love the traditional aspect of gifting, and that’s where Christmas stocking fillers come in.
Our girl Rachel McAlley has highlighted gifts that fit perfectly inside a Christmas stocking. Whether it’s a small stocking on the fireplace, or a huge stocking at the bottom of a bed, we’ve got you covered.
