The Bobbin Stocking Fillers Gift Guide

Christmas season is almost here, and before we know it, we’ll be scrambling for gift ideas and dashing around at the last minute. If you’re shopping for a young cyclist, we’ve got you covered! Here are some brilliant stocking filler ideas for kids’ bikes that will make your little ones’ holidays extra special.

Bike Accessories as Stocking Fillers

Stocking fillers are those little gifts you tuck into Christmas stockings, and they’re always a hit. This year, why not add something fun and practical for your little riders? We’re talking about bicycle accessories. Whether your child is a budding cyclist or unwrapping their very first Bobbin bike, they’ll love this idea.

We’ve got loads of handy and affordable cycling bits that are perfect for this. Whether it’s for a balance bike or a regular one, there’s plenty to pick from. Take a look at these:

Bike bells

 

Bicycle bells, especially these Ding Dong Bells, are one of our favourite Christmas fillers for cyclists. They’re small, lightweight, and easy to fit in any stocking. What’s great is that they’re something your little one can use for many Christmases to come—practical and fun all at once!

Bike bells are also thoughtful. The sound helps keep young riders safe by letting others know they’re coming, whether on the road or in the park. And, of course, the ding-dong adds a little bit of holiday magic, doesn’t it?

Bike tassels

Streamers are colourful decorations that attach to the handlebars, and they look great fluttering in the wind as kids ride. They add a fun, playful element to the bike and help encourage children to take pride in their rides. These tassels are pretty lightweight, so you can slip them in a stocking along with a bike bell.

To make this Christmas stocking filler idea even better, why not go for some DIY bike streamers? Design the tassel with your child’s favourite characters or customise it with ribbons in their favourite colours. 

 

Bike light set 

 

Button lights are a great choice for Christmas stocking fillers. They’re practical and thoughtful and come in fun, colourful designs that kids love (as shown in the photo above). Not only do they help make kids more visible on the road, but they’re a fun little addition to their ride, too.

Once attached to their bikes with stabiliers, they can extend their ride into the night, provided the little riders are familiar with these ‘The Cycling Rules Children Need to Learn’.

Bike carriers and straps

 

 

Bike baskets are another favourite bike accessories, but they’re a bit too big for a stocking, aren’t they? Well, there’s still something you can do—and that’s make sure these baskets are securely attached to the handlebars. That’s where bike carriers and straps come in!

These long bungee straps, for one, are perfect for popping in a stocking. Their length means they can be coiled, making for a nice little surprise. Or, if you’ve got a larger stocking to fill, this Front Carrier E is a great choice. It’s a basket support designed for larger baskets, with dimensions of H: 36cm-53cm and W: 11.5cm.

Bike garlands 

 

Another great accessory for 4-year-olds’ bikes is a garland. A bike garland is a colourful decorative strand that attaches to the front basket. The dangling effect also adds a bit of charm and character.

For Christmas stockings, pick one that fits with the holiday season. You could choose a garland with festive designs like reindeer or Santa, or add bells and pom-poms to make it even jollier. They can use this until the New Year, or go for one that they can show off all year round. There are lots of options to choose from, including designs with flowers, feathers, stars, and more.

Bike padlock 

 

Teaching kids the importance of securing their two wheels helps them develop good habits and protects the bike in the long run. As a stocking filler, bike padlocks are a thoughtful gift that shows you care about their safety. They’re small and easy to roll or wrap, which makes them great for Christmas stockings. Bike locks are also useful not just for kids but also for older riders with adult bikes.

Round-up

The holiday season is all about spreading cheer and creating special moments. If you’re looking for stocking fillers, these cycling gifts are a great choice.

Bike bells, tassels, lights, basket straps, garlands, and padlocks are all perfect picks. Not only do they have some fun and style, but they also show that you care about your loved ones’ safety. As you get ready to fill those stockings, remember that it’s often the little things that bring the most joy at Christmas!
