Start at 
John Lewis in centre:mk
First up, head to the giant John Lewis in centre:mk, which is packed full of festive finds. One of our favourite discoveries is the Traitors Card Game. Inspired by the hit TV show, this game of deception will have you questioning everyone around the table. Who will you betray to win? Are you a Traitor?
Suitable for ages 8+, for 4–6 players, it’s perfect for Christmas Day game-playing. There’s also The Traitors Official Board Game for those who want to take the drama up a notch. If John Lewis is out of stock, you can also find this must-have game at 
Waterstones and 
Argos in the city centre.
For a little luxury: 
Molton Brown
Next, make a stop at Molton Brown in centre:mk for beautiful bath and body gifts. Their Christmas cracker sets are ideal stocking fillers – a small but indulgent treat that’s perfect for anyone who deserves a bit of pampering over the festive break.
For 
LEGO lovers (big and small)
A must-visit for LEGO fans is the LEGO Store in Midsummer Place. We spotted the adorable Spider-Man mini-figures – there are 12 to collect and they’re a brilliant, affordable option for stockings. Ideal for kids… and adults who never quite grew out of LEGO (I have two of those in my house).
Tech treats from 
Apple
Just across from LEGO, you’ll find the super-sized Apple Store. A great stocking filler here is the Apple AirTag.
Lose your knack for losing things.
AirTag is a super-easy way to keep track of your stuff. Attach one to your keys or slip one into a backpack and keep everything on your radar using the Find My app. It’s a small gift that can save a lot of stress.
Cuddly favourites: Jellycat
Back in John Lewis, you’ll find the ever-popular Jellycats. With such a wide range, the hardest part is choosing which one to buy. These soft toys have become true collectables for both kids and adults, making them a safe bet for anyone who already has a Jellycat obsession (or is about to start one).
For creative minds: 
Søstrene Grene
At the new Søstrene Grene store, the miniature worlds collection is an absolute joy. You can create tiny rooms filled with equally tiny furniture and accessories – perfect for the creative person in your life. With the upcoming BBC One show The Marvellous Miniature Workshop, hosted by Sarah Cox, this trend is set to get even bigger.
A festive tipple: Fever-Tree Crackers
Finally, back at John Lewis, we discovered the Fever-Tree Crackers. Each one contains a miniature mixer paired with a small bottle of spirit, with options including gin, vodka, whisky and rum. A brilliant alternative to traditional crackers and a great stocking filler for cocktail lovers.
Stockings sorted
From games and gadgets to pampering treats, collectibles and creative gifts, Milton Keynes city centre has stocking fillers for everyone – big and small. Whether you’re shopping for kids, grown-ups or the person who’s hardest to buy for, these ideas should help make those final Christmas shopping days a little easier.
