Funky Christmas Stocking Filler Ideas for 2021
Leaving Santa to do all the hard work isn’t much of an option at this time of year (regrettably), so we thought we’d lend a hand to all you gift-crazy Saints in need of some ‘saint-spiration’!
Stocking fillers are a great way to show someone the love and care they deserve without breaking the bank. The problem is, there’s so much choice out there that it can be hard to know where to start.
That’s why we’ve put together a selection of fun and funky WSG goodies that are guaranteed to light up the room come the big day.
So, without further ado, pour yourself a glass of something naughty, put your feet up and allow us to help get your last-minute Christmas shopping done in a flash.
Vibrant Vases
Everyone’s got time for flowers, but finding a vase that’s to a particular recipient’s taste can be a tough ask sometimes. Fortunately, these quirky pieces will fill them with joy (as well as cheer up their plant life to no end!).
Flamingo Head Vase - £20
Stocking fillers should complement the thought gone into larger gifts whilst leaving plenty of room for expressing your quirky ego! After all, the best things often come in small packages.
The ideal gift for that flamingo crazy colleague or friend in mind for Secret Santa, our Flamingo Head Vase is the visual definition of funky. Perfect for displaying your flowers with pride, this is what you call flocking fabulous gifting!
Featuring an ornate ceramic construction and elegant design, this eclectic vase sports a flamingo head and neck shape, festooned with the traditional pink colour of such a majestic bird.
Simply place flowers inside the opening at the top and behold! Your recipient’s new feathered friend features a finely painted beak, while the neck has been treated to an ornate texture pattern.
We offer this product in two sizes, large and small. This smaller (stocking-friendly) variant tops off at 25.5cm, perfect for plants with shorter stems. What a flamin’ good idea!
Doodle Face Vase - £35
Are your recipients not convinced by our feathered friend? Don’t sweat it. Our Doodle Face Vase is a crafty alternative with just as much quirky personality and character.
This eclectic vase features an eye-catching design, sporting a tall and wide ceramic container with a cartoon-style face on the front with glasses. Even the ears stick out!
Perfect for displaying houseplants in style, this vase has a height of 30cm, ideal for medium to larger plants (and for fitting inside stockings…).
A great accent piece to add to a kitchen or lounge area that’s sorely lacking a sense of humour, this vase brings everybody’s plant life to real life!
Made from fine ceramic, this planter has been crafted with care and features a textured base that forms the neck of this fun-loving, cheeky chappie bust. Top tip - give him the wackiest hairdo of all by displaying something seriously exotic out of the top!
Crafty Christmas Crackers
No, not the crackers you pull – these items make absolute CRACKERS of a gift for that special someone you have in mind. Particularly for the Christmas tree…
Novelty Christmas Baubles (multiple designs) - £9.45 each
Ground control to Major Tom – we’ve just had a massive delivery of festive baubles that are brimming with celebrity ‘Space Oddity’ stardust!
From David Bowie to Freddie Mercury, Amy Winehouse and George Michael, we’ve got just the pick for your recipient’s favourite singer, actor or artist this year.
Featuring an easy-attach string to effortlessly hang on a Christmas tree, these glass baubles are the perfect way to add character and yuletide fun to any home this December.
Each bauble is 8cm in diameter, just the right size for a tree that doesn’t hold back on the megastar flair. If you’re in the mood for some ‘anything but ordinary’ festive spirit this year, our novelty baubles are the alternative decorations you’ve been waiting for!
Terrific Tableware Tips
The dining table comes into its own at Christmas time. The centrepiece for the grandest meal of the year, drinks party frivolities and plenty more in between, these handpicked gifts were tailor-made for the table.
Novelty Coasters (multiple designs) - £3.85 each
Putting your favourite tipple or cuppa down on top of a friendly celebrity face has rather a satisfying feel to it. Just like our baubles, our Novelty Coasters are festooned with expletive phrases, famous artworks and celebrity designs. These include the likes of Frida Kahlo and even Superintendent Ted Hastings from Line of Duty – Mother of God!
Each traditional square glossy coaster features rounded edges and a cork back. The soft cork back prevents scratches and watermarks from damaging your beneficiary's coffee table or home bar counter, and features anti-skid properties to stop your cocktails from going flying. Pretty nifty, huh?
Size-wise, each coaster measures 9.52 x 9.52cm, the ideal size for a cheeky champagne or cocktail glass (or mug of tea – whatever floats their boat!).
Baxter Dog Candleholder - £39
What would Christmas be without candles? Pretty bloomin’ miserable, that’s what!
Luckily, WSG is on hand to add an extra sense of spice and all things nice to your recipient’s candle scene with Baxter. The paw-fect gift for that dog-crazy individual in your life, our Baxter Dog Candleholder will sit for as long as you want whilst displaying your finest candles in style.
A quirky table ornament or mantelpiece decoration (even without a candle), this adorable holder is just too cute to ignore. Standing at 17cm tall, his black iron design fits great with a black and white colour scheme. He adds a touch of sophistication to any room needing some character and festive charm.
He may be barking mad, but that’s precisely why we love him!
Native American Salt & Pepper Holder - £19
Misplacing the salt and pepper will soon become a thing of the past with this in your recipient’s stocking. For anyone looking for a little extra spice at the dinner table, this ornament will be right up their street.
Our characterful Native American Salt & Pepper Holder is a fun and funky way of adding genuine creativity to a kitchen or dining area, thanks to this practical and uniquely designed figurine.
Simply place salt and pepper shakers inside the hands of the sitting chieftain, and he’ll take care of the rest. This highly detailed statue tops off at 17cm, just the right size for the dinner table.
This beautiful figurine is perfect for that special someone who has an eclectic appreciation for skilled, hand-painted ornaments with bucketloads of personality!
Mantelpiece Masterpieces
Filling a mantelpiece with anything worth displaying can be tricky. Most especially during these strange times of endless Zoom meetings thanks to remote working (cue frenzied scurrying to reposition a ‘presentable’ background!).
Hawaiian Paradise Bookends - £49
If the above applies to your receiver, give them a gift worth giving with our Hawaiian Paradise Bookends.
These tropical themed book stoppers come in a cute and characterful pair, giving a mantelpiece or desk reading collection a chance to shine.
Our quirky bookends are perfect for jazzing up a library or home office, featuring an exotic Hawaiian theme. One end sports a colourful palm tree, whilst the other features a highly detailed and decorative hula girl with a guitar, ready to dance the day and night away.
Each holder is made from cast iron, providing plenty of weight to hold a book collection in place whilst adding a touch of industrial elegance to a home study, living room or bedroom interior.
This one’s for bookworms with a genuine sense of fun!
Christmas shopping can be demanding at times, but online shopping really does take a lot of the hassle out of the annual stress-fest we subject ourselves to.
So, take it from us – ditch the crowds, pick a few carefully chosen gifts that have been considered with care from the comfort of your own home, and then… relax! These funky stocking fillers practically pick themselves anyway.
Happy shopping!
Feel the Love!
