Stockings may be small, but the joy they bring on Christmas morning is anything but. There’s something magical about discovering little surprises thoughtfully tucked inside-useful treasures, fun gadgets, and extra-special treats that make the holidays even brighter. If you’re looking for stocking filler ideas that delight kids and work beautifully for the whole family, we’ve rounded up the very best.
Whether you're shopping for toddlers, school-aged adventurers, or teens who love clever accessories, these small-but-mighty ideas are guaranteed crowd-pleasers-especially the stylish and sustainable favourites from Citron.
🎁 1. Snack essentials that make every day easier
Perfect for little nibblers and big snack lovers alike, Citron’s leak proof snack boxes are a stocking filler that gets used every single day. Designed with non-toxic materials and vibrant prints kids adore, these mini containers are ideal for fruit chunks, crackers, or on-the-go treats.
They fit effortlessly inside stockings-and even more effortlessly into lunch bags.
🎁 2. Hydration helpers
A practical stocking filler? Absolutely. But Citron water bottles are also genuinely exciting gifts thanks to their colourful designs, durable stainless steel, and excellent insulation.
Choose kid-friendly prints for little ones or sleek neutrals for parents and teens-you can truly fill stockings for the whole family from a single collection. And why not make your gift EXTRA thoughtful by personalising them with our free sticker service or permanently engrave them for £5!
🎁 3. Mini-mealtime must-haves
Compact, easy to carry, and beautifully designed, these cutlery sets are perfect for school lunches, weekend outings, or travel. Younger kids appreciate having their own “grown-up” utensils, while older siblings and even parents love the chic, eco-friendly option.
🎁 4. Creative & calm moments
Not everything in a stocking needs to be edible or practical-some should spark creativity and calm.

Mini colouring sets or crayons

Pocket-sized puzzles

One of the easiest ways to make stockings feel cohesive (and extra Instagram-worthy) is choosing gifts in matching colours or themes. Citron’s signature designs come in coordinated sets-meaning you can gift a snack box to a toddler, a matching water bottle to an older child, and a sleek travel mug or insulated bottle to a parent.
It’s a lovely way to make every family member feel included, with gifts they’ll use all year round.

If you’re aiming for a more eco-friendly holiday season, stocking fillers are a great place to start.
