What are traditional stocking fillers?
In Christmases gone by, stocking fillers were pretty simple – but they were still exciting! When we think of traditional stocking fillers, usually a big, juicy orange comes to mind. While this may not go down quite as well these days, it’s still a healthy option if that’s something important to you. Some other traditional stocking fillers include money, chocolate, nuts, preserves, toys and of course a lump of coal.
How much do you spend on stocking fillers?
Not sure how much to spend on stocking fillers?
According to research from American Express, last year Brits were set to spend an average of £45 on stocking fillers.1
Whether you want to spend more or less than this is entirely up to you.
