CHRISTMAS is just around the corner – but there’s still time for last-minute shopping even if you order online.
Stocking fillers are appreciated for both young and old at Christmas, and they don’t have to cost a fortune either.
16
To help, we’ve rounded up 15 stocking fillers for less than £5 in different categories.
At the time of writing, they’re still in stock at retailers online and will be delivered on time if you order soon.
Most of the retailers have delivery times of up to five working days, or you can pick up your order in store for click and collect.
It’s always worth shopping around though in case you find cheaper deals available elsewhere.
Google’s price comparison tool, Google Shopping, is free and easy to use.
