We have everything from hair products, to electronic toothbrushes, to smartphone chargers and much more!

For The Hair Style Queen – Label.m Hair Products (from £21.95)

For The Busy Beautician – ecoTOOLS Mini Boho Luxe Set (£4.99)

Another great beauty stocking filler now for the ladies, this ecoTOOLS mini set is ideal for those who are always on the go and who live that party lifestyle. Ideal for slipping into any handbag, the set includes a high-quality powder brush and foundation brush. These little brushes may look small, but they work wonders and application is perfect, as you would expect from an ecoTOOLS product. Available from retailers and ecotools.com.

For the Kids – Shuffle Connect 4 and Game of Life Card Games (£6.99 each)

Connect 4 has to be one of those classic games any member of the family can play, it really is the perfect Christmas game. However, you may think that the traditional Connect 4 game is a little large and not quite right for a stocking. Well, luckily, the lovely people at Shuffle have created a range of classic games in card form.

The Shuffle Connect 4 is an equally excited version of the traditional game, but it comes in card version and is perfect for travelling, the car and those Christmas stockings! Suitable for ages 6+ with 2-4 players, the aim of the game is to be the first person to complete four Connect 4 missions. Cards must be laid out side by side to make a connection of 4, plus, there are special tiles which grant you extra goes and other funky twists.

There are also three other variation ways of playing our Shuffle Connect 4 for Young Players, Open Missions and Double Handed. The winner of the game is the first player to complete four missions!

You also play The Game of Life too, which we loved just as much! Find out more here.

For The Traveller – Colgate® ProClinical® Pocket-Pro® (£69.99)

This is a great little device and one that we would highly recommend for those who travel, use the gym or who just like to have a toothbrush just in case! Super slim, easy to stowaway and a great performer too!

You may expect that the smaller tooth brush size means that you get less of a clean. However, that is not the case at all! The brush delivers over 25,000 strokes per minute and the results are fantastic for a device so compact. As is common with a lot of electronic toothbrushes, the two minute timer and 30 second quadrant pacer ensures that you clean your teeth for the correct length of time recommended by dental professionals.

On a practical note, the device can be charged using the USB carry case, which is super portable and very convenient. No more struggling to find a shave point here!
