Sweet Treats
No Christmas stocking would be complete without some sweet treats inside. Tony’s Chocolonely assorted bag contains individually wrapped mini pieces of their best selling fairtrade chocolate.
Yum Earth lollipops are a much healthier alternative to standard lollipops and contain no artificial colours or dyes.
Family Card Game
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza is a fun family card game that’s a bit like snap, with a couple of extra rules. It’s the perfect size present for a stocking and it’s something that the whole family will enjoy playing together. Suitable for ages 5 plus.
Jack N’ Jill Toothpaste
Jack N’ Jill is an Australian company that make great natural toothpaste for kids. I like that their toothpaste is fluoride free and safe if it were to be swallowed.
Jack N’ Jill Toothbrush
Jack N’ Jill toothbrushes are also a great sustainable option as the handle is made from corn starch, which is biodegradable. My kids have been using these toothbrushes for years.
They last a long time and I like that the brush bristles are really soft. This is obviously a very practical gift, but still a nice item to include in an eco friendly stocking for kids.
Plastic Free Hair Ties
These hair ties are plastic and metal free and a great sustainable option for a kid’s stocking filler. They are made from organic cotton and natural rubber, so unlike normal elastic hair ties, they are completely biodegradable. They also come in a cute range of colours.
Silicone Reusable Drinking Straws
Silicone straws are a great alternative for kids and adults who may not get on so well using metal straws and prefer a reusable straw that can bend. These rainbow coloured straws are made with food grade silicone and are BPA free. They are great for kids parties, or just every day use.
Stainless Steel Water Bottle
Stainless steel water bottles are a great alternative to plastic bottles, which over time start to leach plastic into the water. These bottles help to keep water nice and cold, are far more durable than plastic bottles and are BPA free.
There are lots of great designs to choose from and they come with a handy built in straw.
Crayon Rocks
Crayon Rocks are a great non-toxic alternative to traditional (paraffin) wax crayons. They are easy to grip and are made from natural soy wax.
The shape encourages children to use a tripod grip and they come in a beautiful range of colours. They are more expensive than normal crayons but they don’t tend to snap, which makes them far more durable.
Honey Sticks
I’ve also heard great things about Honey Sticks, which are made using beeswax and food grade colorants.
Patch Bamboo Plasters
These plasters are another rather practical idea for a stocking filler. Most kids seem to love cute plasters, so why not include them!
These plasters from Patch are made from organic bamboo fibre and contain coconut oil to aid healing. They are plastic free, biodegradable and Patch are a registered B Corp. My kids love the little panda design on these plasters.
Personalised Christmas Ornament
My mother in law gets my daughter a personalised tree ornament every year for Christmas, which I think is a really sweet idea. They make lovely keepsakes and my daughter loves that the ornaments have her name on.
There are lots of different options available on Amazon and Etsy, so you can chose something that won’t look out of place on your tree, depending on your Christmas decor style.
Cotton Twist Crafts
Cotton Twist is a fantastic British brand that creates plastic free crafty gifts for kids. I like to get my Christmas shopping done early, so I’ve already bought my daughter a make your own Angel Peg Doll. This will be a great activity for her to do over the Christmas break.
Cotton Twist also have a huge range of craft kits to make your own bracelets, keyrings and ornaments, along with personalised keep sake tins. I’ve also bought their rainbow bracelet making kit and ocean scene in the past, which would also make great stocking fillers. Cotton Twist ship internationally.
Organic Cotton Socks
It’s always nice to be gifted a new pair of socks at Christmastime. These socks from Frugi are made from organic cotton and are nice and thick for the cooler winter months.
I love the brightly coloured designs and I find Frugi is always great quality. Frugi ships worldwide.
Handmade Playdough
I’m a big fan of these tins of handmade playdough. As well as being great birthday presents they make perfect stocking fillers. The playdough itself is made with natural ingredients and is taste safe, should your little one be tempted to put any in their mouth!
Mums Memory Box on Etsy is my go to playdough seller. She has so many beautiful and creative designs, there’s something to suit all different interests. Unfortunately she only ships within the UK currently. Use code ‘MUMS10’ for 10% off when you use my link below.
Etsy Tip
If you’ve made it this far I wanted to share a little Etsy tip with you. If you place an item in your Etsy shopping basket and wait a few hours before buying, quite often the seller will send you a discount code.
So if you’re not in a hurry to buy something, it’s often worth waiting up to 24 hours to see if you receive a discount code to get some money off.
I hope this list has inspired you to include some more eco friendly stocking fillers for your child this Christmas. If so, please PIN FOR LATER!
Thank you so much for stopping by.
