Stocking Fillers Under £10

Black Friday countdown

Shop Christmas cards now

We design and print our own cards and prints in the UK and post them ourselves, so this guide is written from the inside. Where something isn't worth buying in a sale, it says so.

Stocking fillers are where Christmas budgets quietly leak. Six novelty items at £4 each is £24 spent on things that will be gone by February.

The fix is simple: fewer things, each one chosen for the person. Here's what works under £10.

Pin badges and small gifts

Enamel badges and small prints, designed in house and posted as a large letter.

Under £10 and worth having

  • A postcard print, which doubles as the card. Shop this card
  • A funny card with something real written inside.
  • Two badges for someone who collects them.

Stocking fillers by person

  • Kids - badges with animals, jokes or food on them.
  • Teenagers - anything they'd put on a rucksack without being asked.
  • Adults - a rude card and a badge, which is funnier than any novelty gadget.
  • Grandparents - a small print of something they'd recognise, framed later.
  • Secret santa at work - keep it under a fiver and make it a joke they can display.

Why flat gifts win

  • They post cheaply as a large letter, so there's no redelivery card.
  • They wrap in minutes.
  • They ship with the Christmas cards in a single order.
  • They don't need storing after Boxing Day.

Delivery, honestly

  • First class usually arrives the next working day, and we post on working days, normally the same day you order.
  • Second class is meant to take two working days but can take up to five, so leave room for it in December.
  • Working days run Monday to Saturday, and there's no tracking on standard letter post.
  • Cards, prints, badges and candles all ship together, so one order is one delivery.
