Further thought: even boys who don't do much reading just love joke books which you may come to hate before Christmas is over!

Have given ski gloves and ski socks in the past. You can't go wrong with Minecraft products - wallet, tee shirt or hoodie (available from Amazon); some euros to spend on skiing holiday. As stocking fillers, I've bought bundles of styluses (styli?) for use with their tablets. Batteries are also useful as stocking fillers as they are sure to need them for something or other.

I always give that sort of age group an amazon voucher.

I have resorted in the past to food items, guiness book of records, warhammer, anything remote controlled, dvds, cds, something for pets, posters, maps, anything useful for Duke of Edinburgh, things linked to tv shows that they like, tennis balls and more tennis balls.

I shall be giving mainly money to my DGCs, and the 13 yr old girl is no problem, but I am looking for ideas for low cost items as stocking fillers for the boys. They are aged 9, 11, 13, 15 and 15. The youngest two are into football and they all enjoy their electronic gizmos. I have previously given items such as magic tricks and jokes, touch screen gloves, 'man tins' and wash bags with toiletries.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
