Christmas stocking fillers and Secret Santa gifts for less than £20

Socks are surely the most essential item for any Christmas stocking or Secret Santa gift. “There’s a pair for everyone” SockShop says on its website and the specialist store has a range of gift sets on sale this Christmas. We particularly like the Burlington Rubik’s Cube gift box which contains a pair of quality cotton socks and a fully working official Rubik's Cube keyring. Available for men and women. 

You can’t go wrong with putting Cadbury chocolate in a Christmas stocking. And this selection box is a giant! It includes all the classic bars - Wispa, Crunchie and Dairy Milk to name just three - and also a small selection pack which contains a treat size Curly Wurly, Freddo Bar, Buttons, Fudge and Chomp.

What does every man want for Christmas? Lynx Africa of course! This gift set comes with a Bluetooth portable speaker and three products: Lynx Africa 25 Years bodyspray 150ml, bodywash 250ml, and anti-perspirant deodorant spray 150ml. An essential gift for guys everywhere.

Plan out your next year with this Moleskine 2022 diary. Available for personalisation, the 12-month daily diary and planner comes with a hardback cover and is a great luxe addition to anyone’s work bag or desk drawer. 

Five beers, two Serious Pig snacks and a Frankonia glass are included in Honest Brew’s Stocking Stuffer. The beers are Thornbridge Kipling South Pacific Pale Ale, Verdant Lightbulb APA, Wild Beer Co Fruitbooter Raspberry BA Wild Ale, Orbit Jolly Saint Nico Kolsch-style Beer, and Tiny Rebel Stay Puft Marshmallow Porter. 

A seasonally-themed bath fizzers set containing a Christmas tree, a present and a Santa hat presented in a smart box. All you need to do is unwrap the fizzer, drop into warm water and watch it fizz away. Fragrances include vanilla and coconut, and red apple and cinnamon.

Add a secret ingredient to your recipes and Christmas gift lists. This Guinness Cooking Paste is a perfect blend of Guinness, honey and soy which balances the smoky rich stout flavour with sweetness and tang. A great cheat for creating a wow dish with premium flavours using just one simple add-on ingredient.

Add some fun to your Christmas lunch with Pinkster’s elegant gin cracker, holding both a dinkster 5cl bottle and a mini jar of Gin Jam. Hand-steeped in fresh raspberries, the original Pinkster Gin makes for a deliciously dry gin, with a hint of fruit and an exceptionally smooth finish. Be sure to garnish with some fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint.

Did you know there’s a UK store that’s solely devoted to Christmas stockings? Aptly-named Stocking Fillers sells a sackful of essentials which can be used to put together a stocking for kids (and big kids). Of the gifts, toys and games available the Bumper Box of Fidget Fun is a popular choice. Coming in blue or pink, the box features 15 toys including slime, figures and keyrings.

Beer Hawk’s Christmas gift contains three craft beers neatly packaged in a festive canister that can be popped inside a stocking. It will be shipped to your door in “peek-proof” packaging to keep this beer stocking filler a surprise. 

An ideal stocking filler from The Naked Marshmallow Co. for those on the naughty list this year – a sack of gourmet cookies and cream marshmallows which are made to look just like real lumps of coal. Each sack includes approximately eight handmade cookies and cream marshmallows, which are rolled generously in dark cookie crumb and real organic activated charcoal. It comes presented in a branded fair-trade certified cotton sack and finished with a gold foil embossed tag.
