2014 Christmas stocking fillers at Bergo in The Distillery

It's that time of the year again!

I'm not sure one ever outgrows the thrill of emptying her Christmas stocking. I know I still love finding trinkets to fill my kids teens young adults' stocking. It is always the first thing that gets opened on Christmas morning. (Update: This post was written in 2014. The 2015 market goes on from Nov. 20 to Dec. 20)

I went to Bergo Designs this week (the gift store in the middle of Tank House Lane at The Distillery) and once again saw many cool gift ideas between $6 and $30, many of them perfect to add into the stockings. 

Beware, things fly off the shelves quickly! What you see here (seen in the store on December 4) might not be there anymore. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. The place is packed with fun or beautiful objects and gorgeous home decor items.

Fun suggestions to hide money gifts:

Christmas stocking fillers:

In this game, each player has 10 dice and must roll them until
all the dice are on the same number

Party ice breakers/fun hostess gifts:

I see an improvised puppet show... once the wine has been drunk.

Provide permanent pen for your guest so they can fill in the blanks...

I heard 10-year boys get very VERY excited about something. I turned and saw this!

Original gifts:

Cookie cutters for letters or numbers. I would bake special messages with that and put it in a cute box.

The good old mix tape... with a twist, to offer your favourite playlist to a special one.

A gift with a vintage feeling to it.

To play in the jaccuzi? Or to get the kids really really clean.

For picky eaters.
