Stocking fillers for 4–7 year olds under £5
Updated September 2026
We may earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you. How this works
Four to seven year olds go through stockings fast, and a lot of what fills the space isn't one big present but half a dozen small ones: something for a school gift swap, a Secret Santa at nursery, or just extra bits to bulk out the toe of the stocking. At under £5 each, this list is built for exactly that: cheap enough to buy several without a second thought, but not the kind of plastic tat that gets binned by Boxing Day.
Card games do a lot of the work here, including Bigjigs' Farmyard Donkey and Fantasy Snap for the youngest end, and Harry Potter Waddingtons playing cards for slightly older fans. There's a Baker Ross heart charm bracelet kit for the crafty ones, a bag of Jelly Belly beans from Lakeland for the sweet-toothed, and a Hotel Chocolat milk chocolate lolly if you want something that looks a bit more festive than a supermarket selection box.
Prices are what we saw on the retailer's site on the date shown and can change, so check before you buy. If you'd rather filter by what your child is actually into, football, crafts or sweets, the quick finder above will do that in a few clicks.

How to choose stocking fillers for 4–7 year olds
- Match the budget to the job. At under £5, these are gap-fillers and Secret Santa gifts, not the main present.
- Card games earn their place. They are cheap, small enough for a stocking toe and can be played straight away on Christmas morning.
- Pick one edible treat. A small chocolate lolly or a bag of sweets rounds out the stocking without adding bulk.
- Check the age range on the box. Some card games in this range are aimed at ages 3 to 6, so double check if your child is closer to 7.
