Where's a Good Place to Get Affordable Stocking Fillers?
Ask a Question
I'm going to do a stocking for my son this year, never done one before. I've already got some sweets but wondering where would be good and not too expensive to get other items. I would want car themed items at a reasonable price. I've looked on Amazon but I assume there is somewhere that would be cheaper.
Have you looked on entertainer or bargain max, they can have some decent cheap stocking fillers
martinlufc5637 I had thought about Bargain Max, forgot about the entertainer. Will have a look on both, thanks for the suggestions.
Toys For A Pound is quite good, Poundfun and have a look around B&M and Home Bargains too plus Argos do some quite good stuff and Smyths as its free C&C on all orders
Home bargains. I found it great and got a lot from there especially for stockings. And such good prices. X
I do use Amazon. Personally I wouldn't go with pound shop stuff as it's cheap and likely to fall apart
Jerseydrew I use Amazon for a lot of things, just wondered if there were other places that might have a different selection or be slightly cheaper.
I use kidsstuffforless and toysforapound a lot. Also Home Bargains have some really nice little affordable bits in - I would try a bigger branch if you possibly can, as my local, smaller one wasn't great x
Maqio, bargain max, entertainer, pound fun all have some decent price stuff just depends what you’re looking for really
KateGriff169 just looking for some cars and car themed items for his stocking, nothing too expensive. I forgot about Maqio, will have a look.
MrsCraig Did you know Temu have a toy car Advent calendar? Other car related items are temporary tattoos, socks, beanie hats, sticker sheets, stationery.
lilyflower I would be worried that it didn't arrive on time, also not too keen on using Temu as I've heard loads of negative reviews.
MrsCraig I've had a few things and they normally arrive within 2 weeks, they give you a delivery window when ordering, also full tracking. If they miss the delivery target you get £4 also they are very good with free returns, and some things are either full refund via Temu credit or original payment or a refund and you keep and donate depending on the item.
Not worth a special trip and not available on line but if you are passing a Halfords they have "Bargain Racks" where end of range stuff is sold for a fraction of the original price .
I've picked up loads of things "That may come in useful one day" and even a few that I actually want .
intherealworld we have a Halfords just down the road so might have a look next time I'm passing that way.
Try The Works, for books, Stationary Craft items games and novelty items. Some great Christmas toys/stocking fillers from just a£1
What about some hot wheels cars? They're around £1.50 each and last for years! You can buy the multipacks too.
I'd say B&M for little bits. I have 3 stocking to do and I dread buying stocking bits. I've got some hot wheels cars for one of my son's and I've got some chocolate. I'm going to get some pens and bits. My oldest son (14) will be getting smelly bits in his probably!
My daughter is easy, anything little, cute & girly.. bath bombs always go down a treat!
PinkElephant26 his room is filled with Hotwheels already but had planned on visiting B&M and getting Hotwheels items.
MrsCraig A deal just been posted for this site 
smallbike1961 oh thanks very much, I will have a look. I had never heard of the site till a few days ago.
I did think of Tesco, Sainbsury’s they should be doing a lot of sales offers now as it’s nearing Christmas 
have a look at those supermarkets
and toys 
on offer now 
to him! Hope he has a great birthday 
party 
wishing him all the happiness and good health! 
I’m sure he will have a fantastic and fun 
time celebrating 
too 
Things like deodorant, shower gel, shave gel, terrys chocolate orange. You can normally pick those things up for around £1-£2.
PayItForward he is only 6, no need for deodorant and shave gel. Maybe should have mentioned his age in the post.
Hey MrsCraig and all - thank you for such a great Chat topic. There are so many great tips in here I've turned it into a News story here: www.latestdeals.co.uk/news/savvy-parents-share-12-tips-affordable-stocking-fillers
Everyone quoted which is most people who gave a tip I think has been given some bonus points too 
This was so nice and helpful perhaps it's something we can do more often
