Having a bad hair day, people. Hi, guys. For today's video I'm going to show
you what I bought for my husband's stocking. These are men's stocking filler ideas, and
I feel like I've done really, really well this year. I for some reason have just been
buying bits for the boys and my husband Matt as well throughout November and December,
and it has come together as like he has so much stuff. I don't know if it's even going
to fit, but anyway, it's good for you because I have so much to show you, and I think there's
some really nice ideas in there, whether it's your partner or an older son or ... I don't
know. Would you buy stocking fillers for anyone else? Your Dad, your brother? I don't think
you would. Anyway, this is what I've got him. Next thing that I wanted to show you is a
little Molton Brown bobble that has a body wash. And here's the black pepper body wash
from Molton Brown, and this little bobble was only 10 pounds, and I thought that was
a really, really cute thing. Obviously the idea is to put it on a tree, but that would
fit really nicely in his stocking, and if you haven't smelled it, it is so, so nice.
It is by far my favorite men's smelly that they do at Molton Brown. When I was younger,
I used to do the PR for Molton Brown, and I have literally smelled every product, I
know everything about it, and we have both loved it since I worked for them. I know that
he'll really like that. So the next thing that I got is a little Christmas
ornament. I got this at Lakeside and they personalize it on the spot with all of our
names and our family name, and it says 2015 on it. And I just thought it was really cute.
It was quite pricey. I think it was 9.99, but it's one of those ornaments that we're
going to have forever, and this was a bit of a selfish present for him because I kind
of wanted it. So I was like, "Oh, I'll put that in his stocking."
The main present in his stocking is going to be this room spray. It's Jo Malone. It
comes in this beautiful box and gift wrap, but that obviously won't fit in the stocking
so I'm just going to put it in like this. It's the Pine & Eucalyptus Room Spray. What
do they call it? Scent Surround Room Spray. And basically I got him this because we both
love products. He has a male grooming salon and a beauty salon as well, and we have lots
of different smellies here. And we used to love a Jo Malone Room Spray that they did
years ago, but they've discontinued it. And this is a brand new one, so I thought I would
get him this rather than aftershave. He has so much aftershave, and I didn't want to get
it wrong, but I knew that he would love a room spray for the house or for his shop.
Then I've got him a practical man present in a flashlight. This was only two pounds
from Sainsbury's. I just feel like we're always looking for a flashlight if we're about to
go up into the loft or into the garage or ... I don't know. I just thought this would
be a quite practical thing to get for a guy. He's also quite into cooking. He really enjoys
cooking when he has the time. And we have recently been doing a lot of the like HelloFresh
boxes. So we've been getting quite into cooking, and there's a few bits that we don't have
that I thought he would really like. I've got him a garlic press. This was only about
six pounds in Sainsbury's I think. And it will fit really nicely in the stocking, and
it feels really heavy and well made. And then I also got him a spaghetti server
because we don't have one of these. One of these knives that, you know, like rolls when
you are chopping something up really small like onions or garlic or something like that
because he mentioned that he wanted one of these. It comes with this guard, so when you're
not using it, you can put the guard on. And then when you're using it, you can chop chop,
chop. So I know that that is something that he wants. So I thought I would get him that
as well. The last thing for the kitchen is some festive
tea towels. I know this might sound like, "Why are you buying him tea towels?" But we
have this ongoing joke of like, "Where are the tea towels?" They're always in the wash.
We never have one. You know when you need one, you're about get something like [inaudible
00:03:53] like, "Where are they?" So we have like a tea towel shortage, so I thought I
would get them these. Again, I just got them from Sainsbury's, and there's like a Robin
on one of them and red and tartan, so I thought that was quite festive.
Chocolate coin. My husband loves Terry's Chocolate Orange, so I've got him one of those. Right,
he also loves Matchmakers. I'm going to put this whole thing in, but I'm going to put
a few Lindors in there as well. [inaudible 00:04:15]
And then some nail clippers because he's always accusing me of taking them and stealing them.
But if I'm stealing them, I'm stealing them to do the boys. So I thought I would get him
one. And this one was only one pound 50 in Primark. Yeah. And it's perfect for a stocking
because it looks all festive. As you can maybe imagine, my husband has to
so many grooming things like razors and scissors and things like that just from his work. But
if your husband doesn't, that would be quite a good stocking stuffer as well.
I'm really excited about the next one. They are just socks but I ordered them on Not On
The High Street, and when you're wearing them they point up on the back of your leg, and
one says Caleb's Awesome Daddy and one says Fraser's Awesome Daddy. So I thought that
was so cute, and it came in loads different colors. And it came quite quickly so you probably
still have time to order personalized socks like this. I just thought it was a bit of
a twist and a bit more exciting than the bulk standard normal sock thing.
Also on Not On The High Street I ordered this really cute key chain, and it says, we'd be
lost without you. Yeah. If you are a couple though, they also do the version that said,
I'd be lost without you. I've got him a Nando's gift card. Picked this
up off the rack in Sainsbury's. I had actually wanted to get him like a little Costa gift
voucher. There's a Costa near his work, so he could just get one of those. But they didn't
have any, but they had Nando's, and he really likes that. He'll sometimes go there with
his friends. So I didn't want to get a voucher where it was like take me out for dinner.
He can go with his friends if he wants or take the boys or whatever.
Next thing. If you're feeling like doing a little easy DIY, I have made a date jar. I
saw this idea on Not From the High Street. They sell a date jar for 14 pounds I think.
And I was like, "Hold on a minute. I could buy a jar, which was one pound in Sainsbury's
and super cute, and then just write different date ideas in it." And it's even more personalized,
and it was so cheap to make. So I've put loads of different date ideas in there from like
go to the cinema, to go to our favorite restaurant, to take up a new sport, to go on a cooking
class. So there are some really fun things for us to do over the next year. And I also
put some ... I'm not showing you them, but I've also put like some naughty ones in there
as well. I don't know, I just thought it was a really cute idea. One of my New Year's resolutions
for 2016 is to go on more dates and like court more because we don't enough really. And when
we do, all we do is talk about the kids. So yes, I'm trying to keep the love alive with
this. If you saw my stocking stuffer for kids video,
I'll link it down below if you didn't, I put a toothbrush in both for the boys and I always
do. So I'm doing the same for my husband, and I've also got this really cool new toothpaste.
As I mentioned, we're quite into our products, and he knows everything about grooming. So
this is one that he will not have seen before, and it is really different because it is whitening
toothpaste, but it comes out black. It is called CURAPROX, and it is a whitening toothpaste
and it has activated charcoal that absorbs substances that cause discoloration. And I
know this is going to sound bad because I'm giving it to my husband, but I actually tried
it out because I was just like, "I just need to see what this is all about, like a black
toothpaste." And so I did it on a night where I had had red wine. So you know your teeth
are like a bit purple-y. So I used this, and they really did come out quite white. But
it is the strangest thing like brushing your teeth with black and then they come out really
white. And the very last thing that I've got to for
his stocking is two scratch cards that I just picked up at the local newsagents. I think
these are really cool for anyone's stocking, really, female or male. The chance of winning
some money on Christmas is exciting, and I just thought it was like a cool little extra.
So now, let's see if it all fits in the stocking. So I have got nearly everything in there,
it is packed full. The only thing I couldn't fit in were all of the tea towels, so I could
only fit two of the three tea towels in it. I'll put the two most festive ones in and
then I will just keep the other one out. Anyway, thank you so much for watching. I
really hope you like this video on men's stocking fillers. I know I've gone a bit crazy this
year, but please give this video a like if you thought it was useful in any way. And
don't forget to subscribe for more videos. I post about three a week now. I've got in
the flow of it, so yes. So thank you so much and Merry Christmas. I hope to see you very
soon. Bye.
