Prince George,Princess Charlotte, andPrince Louiswill have a fun stocking stuffer tradition to enjoy this holiday season.
“I find that the smallest present can be the one that gives the most enjoyment and entertainment to children,”Kate Middleton’s mom,Carole Middleton, wrote in an Instagram post for her Party Pieces company.
“I remember that when they were young, my children found flexi-figures like these totally absorbing,” Carole, 65, added in her post alongside an image of a wooden Santa featuring white whiskers, gold buttons and a traditional buckled belt.
“A good choice of stocking fillers can give one extra time, undisturbed in bed on Christmas Day. Invaluable!” Carole continued with a humorous nod to every parent’s festive wish.
“Yours, Carole,” she signed off in a personal touch.

The Santa flex-figure is one of a range of low-cost stocking stuffers from Party Pieces, which Carole set up at her kitchen table more than 30 years ago. Others include such things as mini “Christmas clockwork hoppers,” “melting snowman putty” and a “Mini Reindeer Christmas Snow Globe.”
Due to thecoronavirus pandemic, it’s unlikely that Carole or Kate’s dadMichael Middletonwill be able to see their royal grandchildren play with any of the gifts in person. Kate andPrince Williamalso said theyhaven’t yet cemented their Christmas plans.
“It is so difficult. We are still trying to make plans,” William said. “It’s difficult to know what to do for the best.”
