Find the perfect Christmas stockings with minimal effort with The Handpicked Collection
(24/09/2008)

Picking and choosing the ideal stocking fillers can take hours and each individual gift can really add up in price. The Handpicked Collection has come up with the solution to finding the perfect stockings with minimal effort – ready-to-go stockings For Him, For Her, For Gardeners and For Gourmets as well as Naughty But Nice add on gift ideas. Including one free gift, the fillers are both grouped and priced together to save you time and money.

A Two Minute Gourmet Fondue, a Leather Heart Key-ring, a Spa Night-in Kit and the World’s Smallest Hairdryer are just a taster of the gifts in the For Her ready-made stocking at £75 only. If you are feeling generous add the Naughty But Nice (£50) selection which includes a Massage Candle, an embroidered Lingerie bag for weekends away and other goodies.

A useful Decanter Drainer which lets his crystal dry in one piece, a chic Gianni Rose Black Heart Soap, some unique Thornback & Peel Embroidered Hankies and Scented Shoe Trees are inspired treats included in the stocking For Him (£75) making a pleasant change from the usual socks and tangerines.

The Green fingered stocking (£50) For Gardeners includes The Paper Potter to make your very own biodegradable paper pots from recycled newspaper, a String in a Tin, the Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em Leaf Sack to turn a potential chore into a moment of environmental smugness.

There is also a comprehensive selection in the Gourmet stocking (£50) to cover every eventuality in the kitchen. A Coloured Pairing Knife, Mini Whisk and Chef’s Candle (to eliminate unwanted household odours) are each cute and handy and the Candy Coloured Espresso Maker is a fun but foolproof take on the classic stovetop maker.
