Stocking filler ideas

[Chris]

My wife is wanting ideas for stocking fillers for me (so relatively cheap little bits) and losing the plot because I always end up just buying bits and pieces, so apparently I am hard to shop for!

Do people have ideas for bushcraft themed stocking fillers? With practical uses rather than just stuff that’ll end up in a drawer.

Not really bushcrafty, but I bought these for the menfolks stockings.

Just looked at the bestsellers on Amazon's camping & hiking section.
Seems everyone is getting handwarmers, lights or bottles.

If have a sweet tooth, tins of travel sweets.

Candy canes, chocolate coins, and a teddy!

Nothing off the top of my head for you; but you could apply the sort of logic my boss uses when doing it for me... she just looks at what I use-up, break and / or lose most regularly...

And then adds some other things that she thinks may amuse me, and chocolate.

If carabinas are a good idea then take a look at quick release shackles. I have the impression that they would be unusual for many folk but perhaps I’m wrong. I use them on my beer mug lanyard, my main key ring is one and I hang kit by them. A quick pull on a tag and it releases. They vary considerably in price and quality. My mug shackle will take two tonnes!!!!! That’s a lot of beer.



Most of them have a solid lower ring like the key ring here. Some have a swivel but they look weak.

I like the simplicity of the bollard type but you need to know how to splice an eye.

…….. and a tangerine to go in the toe.

…….. and a tangerine to go in the toe.

And then I get the joy of reaching into the end of my stocking a few weeks after Christmas and pulling out a walnut and a rather brown/green melting tangerine! Good memories.

A net of satsumas and a net of nuts?

And a chocolate bar?

You have net stockings?
