Indoor & Outdoor Fireplaces, Plus Accessories

There are lots of things that colour our festive season, from the glittery baubles on the tree to the mistletoe above the doorway, but there’s nothing more iconic than a cosy woolen stocking hanging by the chimney packed with stocking fillers to unwrap on Christmas morning.

Christmas stockings are one of the oldest of all Christmas traditions, and few people realise their origin actually goes right back to fourth century Turkey and is closely linked to the origin of Father Christmas. Legend has it that a poor widower with three beloved daughters faced the dilemma of selling one of them to raise a dowry to allow the other two to marry their betrothed. The bishop of Myra, upon hearing of the poor man’s predicament, collected 3 pouches of gold, and one night after the girls had hung their stockings by the fireplace to dry, dropped the bags of gold down the chimney where they fell into the stockings. The family were delighted to have been blessed with such good fortune and the bishop – Saint Nicholas – went on to become the man we know and love today as Santa Claus. And so it was that the custom of hanging out our stockings for those special gifts from Santa Claus eventually became a tradition that spread across Europe.

Whether it’s hanging from the fireplace, the end of the bed or lying under the Christmas tree, you’ll need to make sure that stocking’s packed with the finest goodies worthy of Santa’s approval. And when it comes to buying for that special lady, there are thousands of Christmas gift ideas to consider. It’s the fact that ladies love so many things, from make-up to perfume, jewellery to accessories, soaps and bubble baths, luxurious lingerie, books, music and items for the home that makes them the easiest people to buy for. Stocking Fillers don’t have to cost the earth yet they still make fantastic gifts when chosen with originality in mind. Many gift ideas for ladies are small enough to fit into a stocking, making jewellery, lingerie, perfume and trinkets ideal stocking fillers. But sometimes, especially when your lady has everything, a little more imagination is called for. That way you can come up with an unusual gift that you can guarantee she will never have seen before.

Personalised stocking fillers
Personalised gifts for the ladies really have moved on from the days of the engraved necklace! Personalised notebooks, mugs and diaries make great stocking fillers, but have you considered the fabulous range of photo gifts, for something truly unique? Her favourite photo on her glasses case or make-up bag would certainly make a gift that stands out above the rest.

Fun gifts
Fun gifts are great for keeping everyone amused when the TV entertainment starts to drag a little on Christmas Day, and when the kids start playing up, she’ll love the ‘control a kid’ remote. If only it really worked, but one can but dream! And if she’s been nagging you to open a joint savings account, there’s a little blue tin that’s just fit for purpose. It may not be exactly what she had in mind but it’ll store up to £500 in pound coins, putting you well on the way to saving for those all important occasions.

Clever gadgets
Contrary to popular belief, ladies love gadgets too! Stocking fillers that flash, play a tune and move around are great fun at Christmas time, like the Mopod, the newest mobile phone accessory to arrive from Japan, featuring a cheeky character that dances when she receives a call or a text message. And for a fun gadget that will last her well into the summer, how about a magic hand-held electric fan that lights up a pre-programmed message in the breeze as the blades spin round!

Original accessories
Choose from a range of quirky little stocking fillers that she’ll love to keep in her handbag, such as the diamond bling key chain, and the lip gloss in a cupcake. If she’s gone crazy for the X factor this year, there’s a range of accessories to show her dedication to her favourite show. And there’s nothing like a touch of nostalgia at Christmas time as we look back at all the years gone by. For any lady born in the sixties the Jim’ll Fix it soap-on-a-rope is perfect for reminiscing on the lost world of childhood dreams.

All these stocking fillers are designed to be special and unique and are guaranteed to put a smile on her face. So how ever you choose to fill her stocking this Christmas, just make sure each little package reveals a new surprise with that added ingredient of originality.
