There's something for him, her, the kids and even your four-legged companions. Stock up on water guns, cute dolls, racing cars, wall-mounted mirror sets and picture frames, a meditation fountain, clocks, pool floaties and play tents. The options are endless.

Cute Makeup Minis!

A little bit of make-up never hurts! There aren't too many gift sets that are small enough to fit into a Christmas stocking (click here to see more gift sets for Christmas 2020), but you can spoil her with a mini Benefit Cosmetics makeup item or set. Edgars Beauty offers a lovely selection of options to choose from, complete with face, brow and lash goodies! We love the limited-edition Benefit Brows & New Beginnings set – includes their best-selling brow defining pencil, soft-radiance face primer to minimize the look of pores, long-wearing fiery-red lip stain and baby-pink blush, plus a cute makeup bag.

Also, why not purchase a Sorbet Salon gift voucher which allows your loved one to choose what they want to get from Sorbet. The gift of choice is always a lovely option.

Be sure to take a look at their Christmas Gift Shop online, which covers everything from prezzie ideas, décor items and ornaments, as well as gift wrapping paper and stationery to ensure that all your gifts are all beautifully wrapped. As for the actual stocking fillers, we love the 18-pack Artist Dual Nib Marker set for those who love to draw; Wireless Earbuds for those who can't stand getting all tied up in their earphone wires; the Selfie Phone Ring Light perfect for those festive Insta-selfies; and their vibrant Box of Socks in a wide variety of prints and colours.

Some Tipple From Norman Goodfellows

Why not stick a four-pack Mafly Gin Variety Pack into your favourite gin lovers Christmas stocking this festive season? Since we're in the middle of summer, enjoying a refreshing G&T is an absolute must this holiday season. And if they are not interested in gin and prefer something else, there are mini bottles of vodka, whiskey and brandy available behind the till that'll make for cute little stocking fillers. However, do remember to drink and drive responsibly and only gift these boozy goodies to loved ones over the age of 18.

Give The Gift Of Honey This Christmas!

Honey is much more than just a jewellery brand. Established in 1995, Honey has helped over 15 000 sales representatives grow their own business networks, allowing them to become financially independent through training and hands-on mentorship.

Honey's high quality products have been key to the brand's enduring success. Their trendy selection of men's and women's watches, accessories and bags are manufactured to last. Their jewellery is safe to wear for those with allergies or sensitive skin as it is nickel-free. Honey is now also selling shoes, make-up and beach wear. So, find your nearest representative before the holiday season starts, because there is no better retailer for gifts this Christmas.

The Give Catalogue

Honey encourages you to 'Give' this Christmas. To family, friends and even yourself. Their Give Catalogue extends from October - December 2019, allowing you all the time you need to place your orders. You can get a gift for almost anyone this season, from mom and dad, to the grandparents, extended family and that special someone. Plus, there are a number of exciting fashion staples in this edition to have you looking summer ready.

Here are our top picks from the Honey Give Catalogue to fill your stockings with:

Everyone needs a good pair of sunglasses to get them through the summer season. Get yourself in line with the latest trends by purchasing one of Honey's super stylish frames. Our personal favourites are the UV400 Protection sunnies which feature black polycarbonate frames, gold plated temples and purple gradient lenses. Lavender is the colour of the season, so get yourself this pair of purple-hued sunglasses.

Now that Honey are selling shoes, you should definitely check out their classic wedge sandals. These come in an array of colours, but, in our opinion, there is no better choice than sunshine yellow. These faux suede wedge sandals with bronze plated hardware are sure to brighten up any outfit. Paired with a cool maxi dress and a pair of Honey earrings, your look will steal the summer style stakes for sure!

What's more versatile and convenient than a classic Honey handbag? Not much. The Give Catalogue has been decked out with an assortment of must-have handbags and satchels for both ladies and men. However, we believe in keeping things summer simple. That's why we've chosen the bold white PU trim handbag with nylon zip close. Sure to last you well through the season, this bag comes complete with protective dust cover and free removable inner insert. At only *R389, this is a holiday season steal.

Kiddies Accessories

Unsure of what to get the kids this Christmas? Look no further than the Honey Give Catalogue. With both boys and girls accessories galore, this is the ideal catalogue of goodies. From backpacks to beach essentials, jewellery, cute cell phone pouches and pencil cases, the kids will be delighted with their Honey accessories.

Eau de Parfum for Him and Her

Who doesn't love something sweet and aromatic for Christmas? Gift yourself or a loved one with a Honey Give Eau de Parfum. Inspired by international brands, these scents are perfect stocking stuffers. If perfume isn't your thing, take a peak at Honey's range of nail polishes, eyeliners, mascaras and lip gloss. Available in trendy pinks, reds and smoky tones, these makeup essentials will have you looking fab this holiday season.

Stocking Fillers For The Little Ones

Bubbles

Bubbles are always fun for kids and adults alike. They provide safe and inexpensive fun for everyone. But we are taking bubbly entertainment to the next level with the Shark Bubble Blower. This device, which includes bubble solution, shoots out bubbles faster than you can pop them. To spoil a little princess, try the Ice Cream Bubble Blower. Complete with bubble fluid, this gift makes for the ultimate bubble extravaganza. Both the Shark Bubble Blower and Ice Cream Bubble Blower are available from Clicks.

Chalk Bombs

These are bombs made from chalk and are available in all sorts of different colours, so the little ones can have a super colourful fun war. Each bomb lasts for over 200 throws and for an added bonus, they're fully washable so you don't need to worry about the mess. The Sports Chalk Bombs are available at The Crazy Store.

Slime

Every kid loves squishy and colourful slime. Heck, even we do! But why? Well, because it feels good! Don't ask us why, but there's just something about the slippery sludge and vibrant colours that's so captivating. And best of all, it'll keep them (and even yourself) entertained for hours. Slime is available in several assortments, such as rainbow slime, unicorn slime and galaxy slime. You can even get the kids their very own slime lab available in small and large. These slime products are available at The Crazy Store.

Finger Paint

For children who are too young to use a paintbrush but still enjoy the fun and mess involved with creating an artistic masterpiece, finger paint is the perfect gift. Teddy Finger Paint can be found in both poster paint and powder form in green, blue, red and yellow. These are available at Takealot.com.

Play Dough

If your children are the world's future leading architectures, then play dough is a must-add to their Christmas stocking haul. Get their creative juices flowing with this colourful ball of stretchy gob, which they can use to build and mold for hours and tear apart in a matter of seconds, only to start all over again. Get a Colour Dough 10 Piece Set at Takealot.com.

Water Bombs

Every kid enjoys making a mess and fighting one another in a thrilling water fight. Something that is sure to get them outside, away from their gadgets and cooling down in the sweltering summer weather is a water fight. These reusable water bombs only need to be soaked in water and then it is every man, woman and kid for themselves. The Wazooka Splat Attack Reusable Water Bombs are available at Takealot.com. Let the games begin!

Beyers Animal Droppings

Kids always seem to find themselves playing with something "gross" or "dirty". Parents, you know what we mean - them picking up things they shouldn't be. But there's one "gross" thing that's acceptable - 'animal droppings', and not just any animal droppings - Beyers Chocolate Animal Droppings. Not only will it make them laugh but they make the perfect milk-chocolaty treat. It's just chocolate coated shortbread, peanuts or almonds available in various animal dropping flavours - giraffe, buck and zebra. Beyers Animal Droppings are available at Dis-chem.

Beach Balls

For some more fun in the sun, a beach or pool volley ball is perfect. All you need for this is some family and friends, a beach, garden or pool and, of course, the ball. Blow up the beach ball, divide into teams and let the fun commence. Just remember the sunscreen! Beach balls are available in various sizes from small to jumbo at The Crazy Store.

Fab Stocking Fillers For Her

Mini Make-Up Must-Haves

Have you heard? MAC Cosmetics has just released the most adorable collection of miniature must-haves. The little lipsticks are so gosh darn cute, we want to get them all! And with Christmas just around the bend, these will make the perfect stocking filler. You can get your hands on tiny versions of their stunning lipsticks, lipgloss, skincare goodies, mascaras, the Prep & Fix +, loose powder pigments and even their gentle wipes. Perfect for travelling or if she (or you) likes to carry light when it comes to make-up on-the-go.

A Beautiful Scent

There are so many lovely fragrances available but they can cost a pretty penny, an arm AND a leg. And the worst part is buying a scent as a gift and it's not right (too fruity, too sweet, too musky, you know what we mean). All that moola wasted! Now you can head to My Perfume Shop and choose from a selection of designer fragrances from their mini collection. Not only do they make cute gifts but you can buy several without busting the bank! As for brands, you can get your hands on names such as Anna Sui, Azzaro Chrome, Boucheron Place Vendôme, Bvlgari and many more.

Charm-ing Gifts

You can never go wrong with something sparkly from Pandora. We absolutely love their Build-a-Bracelet option. So, if she hasn’t started her Pandora collection yet, then this Christmas is the perfect time to get cracking! Choose a bracelet and a few pretty charms and voilà, a stunning stocking filler for that special someone. There are SO MANY charms to choose from as there’s practically a collection for EVERYTHING – Christmas-themed charms, something for moms, beautiful floral patterns, glass beads, dangly ones, spacers (bits that go between your charms), etc.

Beautiful Brows

Give the gift of beautiful brows with a collection of stunning Benefit Cosmetics brow goodies! Benefit is the best in the brow business, so they’ll definitely have the ideal product for her. Personally, we love the Ka-Brow Eyebrow Cream Gel. And with the new mini version, gorgeous caterpillars can be created on the go, whenever, wherever. Check out the rest of their mini collection which includes everything from bronzers, highlighters and lip stains to eye creams and mascaras. You can get Benefit Cosmetics at Edgars.

Treat The Senses

Another goodie on our Christmas stocking filler wish list is something from Jo Malone. Have you ever smelt a Jo Malone candle or tried their body lotions or soaps? You haven’t lived until you’ve taken a whiff of Jo Malone treats! And for Christmas, they have a lovely collection of 'Sparkling Gifts' for you to choose from. From festive and luxurious Christmas crackers and merry ornaments (both containing gifts of indulgence) to colognes, candles, an Advent calendar and body crème, these are fab treats to add to a Christmas stocking.

Chocolate!

Christmas just isn’t Christmas without one of those adorable Lindt chocolate teddies with the ribbon! We just had to add it to our wish list. And besides, nothing beats chocolate… except wine, of course. But if the little bear is a little too small, then check out the variety tins jam-packed with an assortment of different Lindor choccies. There’s also a choc-filled Advent calendar.

Trendy Sunglasses

This is a pricey option, but everyone needs a pair of designer sunglasses. And if she (or you) have a preferred designer brand, then visit Sunglass Hut to suss out the latest eyewear trends, frames and collections. They have everything from Michael Kors, Ray-Ban, Oakley and Dolce & Gabbana to Gucci, Armani, Prada and Bvlgari. We’re hoping to find a pair of Pradas in our stocking this year!

Something Cheeky

We left this one for last, because as the heading suggests… it’s a little cheeky! But as the saying goes, “Life's too short to wear mediocre underwear.” There’s one place that always pops into our heads when we're in need of some sexy lingerie – La Senza! Go on, spice up her Christmas with something sexy, slinky and sassy.
