Who this guide is for
This guide is for two kinds of shopper. The first is filling stockings for partners, teenagers or the whole family and wants something better than chocolate coins. The second has drawn a name in the office Secret Santa and needs a gift that works for almost anyone, often on a £10–£20 budget. Either way, small practical tech is a reliable answer.

What makes a great stocking filler
Small, but genuinely useful
The best stocking fillers are things people need but rarely buy themselves. Most households have a drawer of tired cables and missing chargers, so a good replacement is always welcome.
- Charging cables: longer or braided cables are a step up from the one in the box.
- Wall plugs and car chargers: handy for anyone who's always borrowing one.
- Mini power banks: slim enough for a pocket or handbag.
- Phone stands and grips: great for video calls, recipes and watching shows.
- Screen protectors and cases: practical if you know their exact phone model.
- Earphones: a spare pair for the gym bag or the car.
Stocking fillers for men
Car chargers, cable organisers, a compact power bank for the commute, or gaming accessories like controller charging cables. For a bigger gift to sit alongside the stocking, see our Christmas gift ideas for him.
Stocking fillers for teens
Phone grips, colourful cables, earphones and small gaming extras usually go down well. For main-present ideas, see our kids and teens tech guide.
How to win at Secret Santa
Go universal
With Secret Santa, you often don't know the person well, or their phone. Choose gifts that work for anyone: a power bank with a universal USB-C connection, a phone stand, a cable organiser or a multi-port charger.
Stick to the limit
Most office Secret Santas set a budget of around £10 to £20. Everything in our stocking fillers collection is priced at £20 or less when it's added, but prices can change, so check the product page.
Avoid model-specific gifts unless you're sure
Cases and screen protectors only fit one phone model. Unless you know exactly which phone they have, choose something universal instead.
