I find stocking fillers hard to pick out, I always want to get them right and try and put as much thought into them as possible. It’s such a magical time first thing in the morning when the boys are over excited about what lies ahead, and I don’t want the stocking to disappoint! I like to include a mixture of sweets, toys and other little treats to entertain them (especially if they have woken at the crack of dawn!) and make a good first impression! I love that Trends UK is making our life easier with their Insta-Snow Tube and Mentos® Geyser Tube products.

Both make wonderful stocking fillers, the Insta-Snow Tube looks quite small, but it drinks up water and expands to 100 times the size! Leaving you with two cups of faux snow to enjoy a mini snowball fight to get into a festive spirit.

Christmas is all about the memories and what better ones than creating your own snow. Not bad for RRP £3.99, especially as its been YEARS since we had a white Christmas, if you can’t get the real stuff you can still have fun! If you want “snow” on a bigger scale you can buy the Insta-Snow Jar.

The Mentos® Geyser Tube™ RRP £4.99 is great if your children like scientific experiments!  My eldest has done this with his friends before, children love the coke jetting out of the bottle and its even easier to achieve with this special attachment! A 25ft high jet is achievable which is very impressive and of course educational as you can explain the nucleation reaction. Just supply your own coke bottle and the tube attaches on easily enough!

I have lots of toy and game reviews on my site if your looking for more inspiration.
