Another Christmas Prezzie Problem

[Deleted User] · 13/12/13 - 20:16

Will keep this as short as possible.My boyfriend has invited his father over to mine for Christmas, which is fine, but I have never met him before and I'm totally stuck on 'stocking fillers' ideas. My boyfriend has only given me things that would not do - no man-smellies, not a big fan of choccies, so the obvious is out. Already got a calendar, also getting a book voucher but I'm just looking for a couple of ideas under the £5 value. Christmas plus first-impression equals stress! Thanks for any suggestions

My Dad always appreciates stationary in his stocking like pens, post it notes etc ..

He also likes a bag of boiled sweets as he likes a sweet when he is digging the garden, so I often put in some everton mints or something.

Great ideas, thanks. After further discussion think will get some socks and shortbread. Totally overthinking everything, my first time running Christmas

My MIL once gave my husband condoms as a stocking filler. That was interesting:o:blush::p.
