It's that time of year again when I can finally start sharing all things Christmas! And after last year's festive period being so different and disappointing, I think I'm going to try and make this year as Christmassy and special as ever! For my first Christmas Gift Guide this year I'm going to be sharing some products that I think would make perfect stocking fillers for children. Hopefully this gives you some inspiration this festive season.

eatsleepdoodle Creative Products

eatsleepdoodle are a fab gift company that create fun and education gifts with a creative twist. All items come with wash-out pens, so little ones can get as creative as they want to really make them their own. I think these placemats and pillowcases would make perfect stocking filler additions for both boys and girls. Designs include pond life, world map / flags, butterfly, dinosaur, space explorer, cars & trucks and finally fairytale & legends - so there really is something for everyone. I love that the products also have little extra touches, for example there's space on the dinosaur pillowcase to write the dinosaurs names. So fun!

Active Snap!

A fun twist on the much loved game snap, Active Snap! gets you up and moving whilst playing the game. Depending what is show on the card, players have to do it - jogging on the spot, squatting, or just dancing and wiggling about. Suitable for the whole family to join in and play, this would be such a good stocking filler addition! The game retails around £5 so it won't break the bank either.

Waboba MoonShine Hyper Bouncing Ball

The new Waboba MoonShine is a crazy, gravity-defying ball with a twist. When bounced the ball will make a unique 'pop' sound as it hits the ground, and then bounces up to 100 feet into the air and lights up! The ball has over 100 hours of battery life so will keep little ones amused for hours (as long as they keep an eye on where it flies when bounced). 

Klean Kanteen Drinks Bottles

When you have little ones you can never have too many water bottles - home, school, out and about, you always seem to need them! These drinks bottles from Klean Kanteen are not only long-lasting and fantastic quality, but they also come in such lovely designs for children. We received the insulated 12oz unicorns, the classic sport 12oz planets, and the classic sippy 12oz coral strawberries. The sports caps are spill proof (not leak proof), and the bottles themselves have been designed to be cleaned easily and to withstand childhood play. The loops on all of the caps make them so easy to carry or attach to a bag - all are interchangeable too so they last so much longer!

Bath Products from Kids Stuff Crazy

These bath products from Kids Stuff Crazy would make a really fun addition to a child's stocking this year. The Magical Sparkling Bubble Bath turns baths into a glittery dream, whilst also creating plenty of bubbles to enjoy and play with. The formula is mild and gentle so suitable for most skin types. These Foaming Soaps have been a hit with our three for a long time now - not only can you mould and play with the foamy soap, it also gets your little ones squeaky clean too. You could also use this product for sensory play too! 

Bamboo Toothbrushes from The Humble Co.

Another practical but easy stocking filler are these bamboo toothbrushes from The Humble Co. - the company behind the world's most popular bamboo toothbrushes! They are made with 100% biodegradable and sustainably-grown bamboo, so are a great swap to make to be more aware of the environment too. The children's toothbrushes have super soft bristles, and as your children get older you can swap to the bigger brushes that feature changeable heads.

Crafty Surprise Mystery Craft Kit

Surprise toys are still incredibly popular with children of all ages, but I think this one from John Adams is a great alternative to layers of plastic. The Crafty Surprise Mystery Craft Kit contains everything you need to make 1 of 6 different craft projects, including a charm bracelet, dream catcher and pencil topper. I love that the products inside aren't just thrown to the side once opened, as the kit has the creative making element to it at well. 

Personalised Bunting from 2 Green Monkeys

Sarah from 2 Green Monkeys makes a wonderful selection of personalised gifts, all handmade and sewn with love in her studio by the sea in Devon. She offers a range of products such as keepsake bears, quilts, baby blankets and more. But I think her personalised name bunting would make a lovely stocking filler for a loved one this year. There are lots of patterns and designs to choose from and the quality is really lovely too. You don't have to have a name on the bunting as you can also choose to keep it plain. I think these would also make a really special first birthday or Christmas keepsake!

Top Trumps Games

Top Trumps are the UK's number 1 card game and has been enjoyed by families for over 40 years now. I love that the games are so easily portable (the cards come inside a handy plastic case) and therefore are great for family dinners, days out or simply just for popping in your bag to bring out when you need them! They also have topics to please everyone including these Disney and Minecraft versions, football, Marvel and more.

Stocking Filler Ideas for Children | Christmas 2020

The products featured in this post were sent for inclusion in this gift guide, however all opinions are honest and my own. This post also contains affiliate links.

I am so excited to be talking about all things Christmas again! It's definitely my favourite time of year, and I feel it's especially important to have something to celebrate with everything that has happened this year.  This third and final gift guide is full of stocking filler ideas for children (or even for the grown ups who are young at heart). I hope it gives you some inspiration this holiday season.

Chocolates from Hotel Chocolat

Chocolates are always a 'must-have' in a stocking, and you cannot go wrong with the fantastic selection of luxury cocoa treats (that include less sugar) from Hotel Chocolat. I love the designs on the posse of penguins and waddle of penguins sets - they are almost too adorable to eat (not that this will stop my little ones!). And although not stocking fillers, make sure you are prepared for the countdown to Christmas with Hotel Chocolat's range of advent calendars, available in dark and white chocolate for grown ups too.

Magic Snow

Bring the magic of snow into your home without needing to get cold and wet with this fun Buzz Snow from Buzz Retail. Made of a polymer powder, the 'magic snow' looks and feels just like snow when hydrated - but it never melts! It is eco-friendly, non-toxic and safe for children and animals, but do make sure to use under the direct supervision of an adult. Aimed at children aged 4+, Buzz Snow retails at £15.

Klean Kanteen Drinks Bottles

I love to include practical gifts as stocking fillers too, so these drinks bottles from Klean Kanteen are perfect. Kid Kanteen stainless steel water bottles are made with safe, BPA-free materials, and are much better for the environment than plastic bottles. They are lightweight and super durable (although note that the sports cap are not leakproof, so are more suitable for older children - baby/toddler versions are also available instead). They are available in lots of lovely designs as well as the simple bold colour designs too.

Pass the Pugs

We've all heard of the classic travel game Pass the Pigs, but it's recently had a makeover, with super cute little pugs replacing the pigs. Pass the Pugs is a simple but fun dice game, where the aim of the game is to be the first to get 100 points by throwing your pugs and seeing how they land. Different positions mean different levels of points, so the game really is different every time! The game comes packaged in it's own handy travel case too, making it easy to play at home or on the go. Suitable for children aged 7+.

Buzz Art Sets

If your children are into arts and crafts or home makeovers, then these fun sets from Buzz Arts are perfect for them. The Body Art Action Tattoos set includes 50 fun designs and 6 sparkly glitter colours pots, so you can make a whole array of different deigns and colour combinations. Simply place your chosen design on a clean dry area, hold down for 1-2 minutes and then gently remove the clear film from the top of the sticks - easy! The Chalk-it Hair Colouring Chalk is an easy way to add colour to your hair without any damage or drastic permanent changes. The set comes with 4 different colours and can be used on all hair types - just simply wash hair to remove the product.

Hexbugs JunkBots

New from the Hexbug range are the JunkBots, the super fun surprise unboxing toy. Packaged in a trash can or a dumpster, there are 36 different JunkBots to find - and each piece of 'junk' is interchangeable too, meaning there's even more fun to be had as you make and customise different characters. Your child has to unlock the can and then search through the 'junk' to find the right pieces before building the Bots. The sets are available in 3 different sizes - the Industrial Dumpster contains 4 Bots, the Alley Dumpster contains 2 Bots and the Trash Bin contains 1 Bot. 

Fabelab Dream Friend Toy

A great stocking filler for younger children, these cuddly toys from Fabelab are super sweet and soft. They are made from 100% organic cotton and are available in a whole range of beautiful, simple designs. These cuddly friends would make a great companion for any little girl or boy, and as they are such high quality they would make a great keepsake for the future too. Available from many retailers, including Kiddies Kingdom.

Maped Helix Arts and Crafts

If you have a creative little one, then these sets from Maped Helix would be the perfect choice. For younger children the My First Colouring set is perfect for introducing pens - they are much chunkier so therefore easier for small hands to hold. The Blo Pen Art Set is great for the more advanced creator, although is still very easy to use to make beautiful pieces of art.
