WARDLEY London is our own store — prices and product facts below are taken from our own listings.
How we chose these: every product in the live range priced at £25 or under was checked, and the picks below are the ones that fit a stocking — small, useful, and mostly one size — with the price, sizes and facts taken from each product's own record, from our own product data.
What makes a good stocking filler for a man?
Three things: it is small enough to fit the stocking, it gets used rather than admired, and it does not depend on knowing his exact size. Socks, scarves, gloves and caps pass all three tests, which is why they dominate this list; the one sized pick — boxer briefs — is sized by waist in inches on its record, so it can be bought from the label of a pair he already owns.
What can I get for under £10?
More than you might expect. The Herringbone Flat Cap (£4.95) is a classic flat cap in a herringbone tweed-look weave with a short stitched-down peak, one size, in Charcoal, Brown or Light Grey — best for the man who wears a coat all winter. The Slim Card Holder (£4.95) holds six cards with a top pocket at 10.3 × 7.5cm — best for the man whose wallet is falling apart. The Crew Socks 5-Pack (£6.95) is five pairs of fine-knit cotton-blend socks, UK 6–11. The Ribbed Beanie (£8.95) is a short fisherman-style beanie in an acrylic rib knit, one size, in four colours. At £9.95 there are two: the Herringbone Scarf — 180 × 30cm, 100% polyester, fringed ends — and the Tie, Pocket Square and Cufflinks Set, a matching three-piece set with a 7.5cm tie, best for party season.
Which fillers are the warm ones?
The socks, first: the Dales Thermal Socks (£17.95) are three pairs of thick, chunky rib-knit socks in a wool, polyester and elastane blend, one size UK 6–11 — best for cold mornings, walks and boots. The Heath Boot Socks (£21.95) are five pairs of thick wool-blend socks with a brushed inside and a ribbed cuff. Then the layers for outside: the Chester Gloves (£12.95), smooth faux leather with a soft fleece lining and an adjustable wrist strap, Black, one size, alongside the scarf and beanie above.
What if I don't know his size?
Choose from the one-size list — flat cap, card holder, beanie, scarf, gloves and tie set — or the sock packs, which fit UK 6–11 and cover most men. If you do know his waist size, the Cotton Stretch Boxer Briefs 6-Pack (£21.95) is sized by waist from S (28–30in) to XXL (41–44in). And if you would rather not guess at all, the WARDLEY Gift Card starts at £24.95 — charged at £24.95, £48.95, £98.95, £148.95 or £198.95 — and is delivered by email, which also makes it the one filler that works after the 9 December order-by date.

Frequently asked questions
Are the thermal socks merino?
No — they are a wool blend of wool, polyester and elastane, knitted thick and warm, and hard-wearing with it. No single-fibre claim is made for them.
What size are the sock packs?
Both the Dales Thermal Socks and the Heath Boot Socks are one size, UK 6–11. The Crew Socks 5-Pack also fits UK 6–11.
Can socks and underwear be returned?
For hygiene reasons, underwear and socks can only be returned if they are still sealed in their original packaging; opened items cannot be returned for a change of mind. This does not affect your statutory rights for faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied items.
When should I order for Christmas?
Order by Wednesday 9 December. Orders are dispatched in 1–2 working days, with delivery 6–10 working days from order; the gift card is delivered by email and works after that date.
