Even we, the mighty Proper Magazine, aren’t resistant to festivities. You might’ve been led to believe that we’re a gaggle of grinches, that hiss when we hear Chrimbo tunes and growl when we see tinsel – but that’s simply not true.
Okay, admittedly we are a bit apprehensive about the whole thing, but let’s face it, this period only comes around once a year, so we may as well get somewhat stuck in.
The way we feel that we can best achieve this ‘stuck in-ness’ is by recommending a selection of Six of the Best stocking filler items, aimed entirely at the person who has everything.
So, grab a loved one of your choice’s stocking, observe how big and empty it is, and thank us later for all of the festive delights that are detailed below.
Pleasures Toilet Ashtray
Our first recommendation is a branded Pleasures toilet. Obviously, it’s not actually, that wouldn’t fit into a stocking, but it’s the next best thing, a Pleasures Toilet Ashtray. Whether you’re partial to inhaling carcinogenic fumes or not, this is still a pretty cool thing to have on your desk.
and Wander Ecopak Shoulder Pouch Bag
A cool pouch is always a welcome gift, no matter the time of the year. Ideal for stowing both your valuables and your not-so-valuables – in our experience pouches usually largely function as a home for receipts. The benefit with this and Wander pouch is those receipts will be living in absolute, 100% recycled ECOPAK luxury.
Carhartt WIP Tea Towel Set
Some things in your home you’re proud of, and others you aren’t – tea towels generally sit in the latter part of this equation. This is usually because they’re covered in bits of egg and odd stains, but here we present you the solution to your tea towel shame. This set from Carhartt WIP is so lovely looking that to neglect them the way you would a regular tea towel would be a sin.
Barbour Lifestyle Reusable Tartan Travel Mug
Life is always good when you’re in possession of a travel mug, even a boring unbranded one, so just imagine how good life would be with a Tartan Barbour travel cup. Not too much to say about this other than literally everyone in existence would be grateful to find this in their festive sock.
Universal Works Watch Cap
There’s a great deal of debate around what Christmas is actually about – family, religion, food, friends – but we’ve got the only real answer…
It’s all about receiving your yearly replenishment of hats & socks. To make sure that your chosen loved one isn’t let down in this department, make sure you supply them with hats & socks that are actually nice, like this Universal Works beanie.
and Wander Mini Carabiner Set
Carabiners are great, aren’t they? Not solely because they save rock climbers’ lives, but also because they function as incredibly useful everyday clippy devices – you can never have too many. These ones from and Wander come in a pack of five and are sure to provide equal satisfaction when clipped to a water bottle, or your mate’s ear.
