If you’re scrambling for stocking fillers, don’t worry – you don’t need to spend a fortune to make Christmas morning special for the kids.
In fact, little ones often get more excited about the tiny bits (or the cardboard boxes) than the big presents anyway, so a few thoughtful little treats can go a long way.
That’s why we’ve put together a list of budget-friendly stocking fillers that are guaranteed to bring a smile to their faces.
From toys that actually keep them busy, to mini chocolate treats, and silly games for a quick laugh, we’ve listed something for every type of kid.
To keep things affordable, everything we’ve listed is under £10 as spending more than you need to is SO out for Christmas 2025.
