Top Stocking Fillers – Rubik’s Cube

Christmas season is the time for giving and sharing, it is also means shopping time! I know it is not everyone’s favourite thing to do but I do hope you like the variety of gift ideas we have shown on our Christmas Gift Guide 2019 that was published yesterday. Now it is time for us to share the top stocking fillers!

Did you know that this year, a new survey shows a third of parents would buy Rubik’s as a stocking filler for children this Christmas? The survey, which had 2,000 respondents, also included chocolate and stationery as top stocking solutions. My husband and Mr K are big fans of the iconic colourful Rubik’s cube. They both knew how to solve the puzzle within five minutes. Now Ms C is hooked into the easy to play Rubik’s cage!
