In my humble opinion, my favourite Christmas gifts are always the ones left in my stocking by that man with a white beard wearing a fluffy red suit. As a trinket lover and self-proclaimed hoarder of things I probably don't need but definitely love, stocking gifts are where personalisation and cute little extras really flourish.
