So nowadays kids look forward to the fun little stocking fillers at Christmas just as much as big presents under the tree. The golden rule of stocking stuffers is that they should be small-ish gifts which are inexpensive – which no doubt fits the bill for any budget-conscious parent!

Particularly big this year are unwrapping and hatching surprise toys. Here are the best stocking fillers for this season under $13.

  • Am quite amazed at how much is spent on children for Christmas these days. Is it really necessary to have stocking fillers as well as copious presents? Growing up I was happy to have one good present for me at Christmas, and my children were happy with one big present that many helped to pay for or a few smaller ones. Somehow think that the world has gone crazy these days.

  • I never know what to put in the stockings. I try not to do small toys because then I have a house full of them! I usually do bubbles and chocolates etc as I don’t think it matters if it’s under the tree or in the stocking.

  • We always do Christmas stockings and have some beautiful ones that come out each year. I put in some little chockies, lego minifigures, new pens or textas or a summer hat. Lots of great ideas in your article.

  • I actually have never done stockings for Christmas, and I don’t actually know why; I believe it may be because as a child I had my stockings hung above a fireplace but I’ve never owned a fireplace at my own home.
    Maybe it’s time to start this tradition.
