Anyone got some good suggestions for inexpensive stocking fillers for a 5 year old boy? My son loves Lego, rock music, superheroes, Star Wars. His Christmas list is very short and influenced by adverts he sees on TV for crappy plastic stuff. I'm worried I'm going to get to just before Christmas and realise I haven't got him much. No such problems with my 8 year old daughter!

I go for a lot of toilet humour with my two (4 and 6) - in previous years there have been whoopee cushions and fake poos. A couple of friends have secured "Fart whistles" from Amazon which I'm now thinking I should look into!


I've also gone for a little wind up torch from Just Williams, and a pencil case to keep all his bits in. Tiger/ Hema really good for stocking stuff.


There are loads of party bag supplies on Amazon which double up as good stocking fillers - and Yellow Moon do tonnes of nice superhero things, I had some for my son's 4th birthday party which was superhero themed. Things like superhero rubber ducks for the bath etc.

Thanks. Whoopee cushion is a good call. I think he bought a fart whistle once with his pocket money but it was disappointing! I was also thinking a trip to Hema in Victoria would be a good idea, so will do that too.

I just bought my nearly 5 yr old boy a Make Your Own Bouncy Balls kit from

Early learning/Mothercare for ?2.50. Other stocking fillers include a ruler with his name on, a thing called a Foamee which I'd never heard of but I'm sure all the kids have seen in TV ads, basically like a pot of bubbles but blows out a line of foam and a couple of individual Hot Wheels cars....

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
