Budget Loving Stocking Fillers |
If you are now just looking for little stocking fillers or some really inexpensive gifts to add to main presents then its well worth investigating the likes of poundland, poundworld, TJ Hughes and TK max as they are full to bursting with little bits and bobs.

Dolly Themed Beauty Box
A lot of cuteness for a fiver |
One trick I always use when
buying gifts is to put a few inexpensive items together to create something
which looks really lovely. This is an old box I’ve saved, filled with tissue
paper and I’ve made a little pamper set for a friend of mine who loves all
things Russian Dolls, Japanese ladies.
The nail file set and
brush kit were both the princely sum of £1 each from poundland and the bubble
bath set was £3 from matalan so the whole thing cost a fiver and I’m sure you
agree looks rather lovely indeed.
Branded Make Up Bundle
Great brand, great price |
Discount doesn’t have to
mean strange unknown makes. This year I’ve picked up some fab Calvin Klein make
up from the discount store TJ Hughes. The eye shadows were £3 each and the
blusher was £4 so for £12 I have a set of lovely branded make up which my
friend who loves all things high end will thoroughly enjoy. Since buying these I’ve
also found them for an even cheaper £1.99 at fragrance direct.co.uk but not
sure if that includes P & P.
Little Princess Pamper Kit
A box of pampering loveliness |
Little girls love all
things make up and beauty so I’ve made a mini pamper kit for my friends little
girl. The make up kit and nail varnish were £3 each from Matalan and the Little
Angel toiletries were from Poundland. Yet again a cute looking gift for just a few
quid and an old beauty box.
Character stocking Fillers
Moshi madness for your kids stocking |
When I was little the
biggest thrill on Christmas day was waking up to a stocking bulging with little
gifts. The obligatory Satsuma, chocolate coins and silly little cheep games my
mum would pick up and wrap. My little girl is no different so I always ensure
her stocking has lots of little surprises in. She is mad about Moshi Monsters
at the moment so these Moshi bath products which were £1.20 each from Home and
Bargain are perfect. Its also practical stuff which we will actually use.
Result.
A Blythe doll from home and bargain well I never |
Home and bargain also had
this fab Blythe doll set for £4.99. Now I love Blythe dolls and have collected
a few over the years and my little one loves to play with them so this will
definitely be a welcome addition to the present pile.
Budget Beauty Products
benefit dupes for a quid each-ooh yes please |
I’m a massive fan of
Benefits High beam so was a bit dubious when I found this highlighter by
poundland make Chit Chat but I’m delighted to report it’s really good. It’s slightly
more shimmery than High beam but as dupes go it’s not bad at all. To compliment
it they also have a cheek tint which is very similar to Pinch your cheeks. I
love this and it even smells of roses. This would be a perfect little set for
one of your make up junkie friends
A Lot Of Glitter For A
Little Price
All that glitters doesn't cost much gold at Primark |
We all know know how fab
primark is for cheep clothes but there accessories and make up can be good too.
I absolutely love this glitter eyeshadow palette from them which is a mere £2.
What sparkle lover wouldn’t love to receive this at Christmas? They also do a neutral palette and a lip gloss box in the same rang, all £2 each so I’ve made up little bundle packs for friends.

TK Max-pricey looking biscuits for under a fiver |
A pound for something this pretty-Bravo! |
So there you have just a
few little stocking filers available at your local discount stores. It’s really
important that while we enjoy Christmas we don’t enter the New Year saddled
with loads of debt as that would be daft. Manage your own expectations and stop
thinking people will be judgemental or think you a tight arse if you buy them
gifts from discounted stores. Most of the stuff in these places is end of lines
that have probably already been in more high end shops so its just strange snobbery to
think that it’s not as good if it’s cheaper.
Don’t buy loads of things
willy nilly (very easy to do in these places) and have an idea of who you need
to get things for, but if you have an open mind and can think outside the box
you can get some gorgeous things at a fraction of the price.
