Filling up your Christmas Stockings at B&M Stores

The countdown to Christmas has nearly begun. Im getting super excited but also getting very organised. There are Christmas presents to buy, Christmas cards and wrapping paper to buy, oh and don't forget there is the Christmas stocking contents to buy too. 

I do love a good christmas stocking and they are must haves in our family. I remember as a child, Father Christmas (aka mum) would always pop my stocking on my door. As soon as I would open my eyes that Christmas morning the first thing I would see would be the stocking hung on my door and I would know that Father Christmas had been. That rush of excitement still stays with me to this day and its a lovely christmas memory that I won't forget.

This year is the first year that Lily is starting to understand Christmas a little more. It will be her forth Christmas and although we have done stockings for the last 3 years this is the first year that she will actually get more excited about it. I really hope to re create that excitement I got as a child and so I want to make her stocking filled to the brim with goodies. 

But when it comes to stockings, you want it to be filled with really nice things, but that haven't cost you an arm and a leg. So thats why I headed to B&M stores to see what stocking fillers I could find. 

I love that B&M stores always have shelves full of things to browse. I knew that I would find what I wanted here at B&M and was very impressed at their extensive gift section. 

So I started hunting for stocking gifts for a 3 year old. I had a £20 budget for my stocking and I must admit, I have found out I am very indecisive. I kept finding something I loved, then putting it back because I found something else, but then ended up going back for the other item in the first place. I guess thats what lots of choice does for you.

In the end I found all my items for Lily's stocking and for my £20 (Plus 24p extra) I managed to get 11 items. 

So here is a breakdown of what I got and why...

Reindeer Antlers with Light up Nose - £1.00
I could not resist these. I think the nose may be a little bit big for Lily to wear but I can just imagine that on christmas morning while opening her gifts she will want to put these on her head and be all festive. And if she doesn't I know I will end up doing which will give her lots of giggles. 

Mini Santa Squeezer - £2.99

I was looking for a festive soft toy and I hit the jackpot with this one. You squeeze him and he starts singing "It's the most wonderful time of the year". So he is super festive and makes me feel really christmassy. 

Cadbury Festive Friends Biscuits - 85p

Lily isn't a big sweet fan so when I spotted these on the shelf at 85p I just had to have them for her. She does love her chocolate biscuits and so these will go down a right treat this Christmas. 

Cadbury Chocolate Buttons - £1.00

Another one of Lily's favourites that she will enjoy eating. 

Kinder Father Christmas Chocolate figures - £1 

There was so much choice of chocolate but I know Lily enjoys Kinder Chocolate and so I thought she would love these festive Father Christmas ones.

Milk Chocolate Coins - £1 

These are a total traditional item in our family stockings. You suddenly feel rich with a bag of gold coins. Even if they are just chocolate. Lily got some of these last year so I know she will enjoy them.

Paw Patrol Face Cloth £1.29

I think handy items like a face cloth fit perfectly well into a stocking. They are to little to wrap up but something that you always need new of and so great to find them in your stocking. Though I think Lily will be more excited about the fact that it is a Paw Patrol Face Cloth than anything else. 

Paw Patrol Socks - £3.99

These were the most expensive thing that ended up going into the stocking. But socks are something we all need and something I always buy around christmas time. Socks are never anything to fancy and so perfect to pop into a stocking. Especially when they are as tiny as Lily's socks. Again Lily is going to love the fact that they are Paw Patrol Socks. 

Paw Patrol Gift Mug with Chocolate - £2.50

This item is slightly on the large side for a stocking, so it all depends on the size of your stocking you own to if you would get it as a stocking filler. Lily's is quite big and so it fits into hers just fine. I loved this little set, again its her favourite, Paw Patrol and so its going to be a nice little surprise for her when she see's it. I do love gift sets like this that have a theme, a cup and chocolate inside.

Paw Patrol Torch - £2.99

I think every stocking has to have some sort of fun toy inside it and thats when I spotted this paw patrol torch. It shines the paw patrol symbols onto the walls and I think she will love these. 

Paw Patrol Coin Purse - £1.99 

Last but not least is this paw patrol coin purse. Its the perfect size for a stocking and anything that features her favourite paw patrol she will love. 

Of corse I realise that the items are very paw patrol themed and there are so many more different themes of toys to choose from. Just Lily is a little bit obsessed with paw patrol at the moment. 

Also if you don't have your stocking yet, I did notice that B&M have them for sale there and quite large ones.
