Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without a traditional stocking – and now we’re going to show you how to make this year’s even better with our bestest, yummiest, most awesome range of stocking fillers.

Step one of our stocking fillers guide

Root out the Christmas stockings from wherever your stash your Christmas stockings. Your sock drawer? The Christmas decorations box? Underneath the bed? Your children’s toy box? If you can’t find it then maybe it’s time to buy a new one, or borrow one of dad’s socks.

Step two of our stocking fillers guide

Buy a bag of oranges and some monkey nuts (because everyone expects an orange and a handful of nuts in their stocking) and then head for a lip-licking browse through our Scrumptious Sweet Shop.

Step three: Choosing the stocking fillers theme

The size of the Christmas stocking, as well as the age of the recipient will dictate the quantity and type of sweetie-licious candies that you buy. To help you to make your pick and mix choices, we have come up with a few festive stocking filler ideas.

Red and green: The traditional colours of Christmas are easily found in our  miles of aisles of sweetie heaven. How about red Gobstoppers, green Apple Pips, red Aniseed Pips, green Chocolate limes, red Jelly Beans and green Flying Saucers?

Fizz bang: See your children wake up to a popping candy of a Christmas morning with a crackerjack stocking of fizzy, tangy and tingling stocking fillers. Cola Crystals, Sherbet Fountains, Rainbow Dust and Giant Sour Strawberries will have them up and bouncing in no time (as if they needed it on Christmas at 5am!)

Step four: Stocking fillers for the oldies

Don’t forget the grown-up kids in your house. In fact, why not make their Christmas day the best ever with a big, old sock jammed full of nostalgia? Today’s sweets just ain’t what they’ll remember form their childhoods so make sure your stocking fillers choice takes in a range of our finest retro goodies, including Wham bars, Liquorice Comforts, traditional boiled sweets, Fruit Salads, Black Jacks, Shrimps and Drumsticks.

Or buy a ready-made stocking from us! Our Reindeer Stockings are packed with stocking fillers nostalgia, and while some people might accuse you of cheating, we reckon you’re simply ticking all the boxes in one easy purchase for the funkiest Christmas stocking of the season.

Step five: Stocking fillers smugness

Now no one can ever accuse you of being an old bah humbug again if you deliver our stocking fillers guide to a super-scrumptious Christmas morning of surprises.
