Stocking fillers 

Waking up to find a bulging stocking hanging from the end of your bed is the reason most of us get out of bed on Christmas morning. And although we know that it probably wasn't a big-bellied, white-bearded man in a red suit who put it there, it's still very exciting.

 

Long gone are the days when a lump of coal would suffice, so we've put together this list of must-have items, to make shopping for your stocking-fillers easy-peasy.
