When you’re ticking of your Christmas list we all know those extra stocking fillers can be a little challenging. There’s often at least one person who needs a little more for their Christmas gift or someone who can be a bit of a puzzle to shop for. But don’t worry, because we’ve got you covered this Christmas. We’ve handpicked a list of the top seven stocking fillers that are guaranteed to bring a joyful smile to their face.

We’ve got a range of stocking filler gift ideas, from something to give them a good laugh with friends or family, through to epic experiences they’ll never forget. Even if you’re on the hunt for that elusive Secret Santa present, these stocking filler gems are just what you need. So, let’s make this holiday season extra special with these top stocking fillers!

7. A gift to bring out the competitive spirit

Christmas is prime time to dust off those board games and get a bit of competition going between family and friends. But what’s even better? Adding a brand-new game to the mix, making it the ultimate stocking stuffer. With a plethora of choices at your fingertips, you can opt for a speedy card-based Monopoly, compact mini board games, or throwback classics like Connect Four – guaranteed fun for all!

6. A bit of self care

We all know that looking after yourself is important. From your mental wellbeing to your physical health, prioritising self-care is important for you and those around you. So, why not make it easier for your family and friends to have a bit of ‘me time’ and give them stocking fillers to help them relax? Think candles, soothing diffuser sets, luxurious bath salts, and pampering face masks – the ultimate self-care stocking fillers!

5. Something personalised

Gifts that are personal are always a winner. Something personalised definitely lets them know you put a bit of thought into their gift and is something a bit more special than the usual gift. From loveable wall plaques to personalised illustrated art, the more inventive you can be with your personalised stocking filler gifts, the better.

4. A sustainable gift

It doesn’t get much more sustainable than the gift of a tree from Trees That Count. They will plant native trees throughout New Zealand on your behalf. You can even choose which tree planting project you would like your gift to be a part of from around the country. This is truly a gift that is making such a positive impact and helping improve our environment.

3. Food or sweet treats

Who can resist a good nibble, especially during the festive season? Christmas is the ultimate excuse to dive into scrumptious treats! If your gift recipient has a sweet tooth, chocolates are an awesome stocking choice. And for those who savour the savoury, there’s a treasure trove of salty delights to explore. If you really want to go the extra mile, assemble a fantastic gift box bursting with all their favourites.

2. Something to get outside

We’re lucky enough in New Zealand to be able to enjoy Christmas in the warmer months which means outdoor games make great stocking fillers. You can get smaller outdoor games like frisbee, a ball of some sort (think beach ball, tennis ball or soccer ball), or a collapsible swing ball set. Then there’s also ones which may not actually fit in a stocking but make great extra gifts, like kubb and giant Jenga, or even cricket or volleyball set. Games are an awesome way to get everyone involved and have a lot of fun. Anything which puts a smile on your gift recipients face is a win in our books.

1. Exciting experiences

There’s nothing better than an amazing experience gift which creates unforgettable memories. We think experiences make the best gift of all and are way better than receiving more stuff.

A Chuffed gift is the best way to gift an experience and perfect for filling a stocking – it comes in an exciting Chuffed Box. With Chuffed your gift can’t fail as they get to choose from up to 120 different experiences from across NZ. It’s the perfect gift for everyone whether you know what experience they would love to do or if you’re really not sure. Will they sail, jump, fly, relax? The choice is theirs! But they’ll thank you for the memories made. Stocking fillers don’t get much better than that!
