A Wild Steep Gift a Brew set beside a teapot and cups on an autumn tea table

Christmas 2026

Tea stocking fillers under £15

By Colin Preston, founder of Wild SteepUpdated 4 min read

The best tea stocking fillers are small, ready to brew in a mug, and a little bit seasonal. A 25g tube of Mulled or Gingerbread (£12, about 20 cups) does all three. Under £10, a 25g pouch from the Elevenses range (£9.49) or a heart-shaped infuser (£6.49) works. Everything here posts free in the UK.

We pick these by watching what people actually buy for someone else at the market stall. Small, giftable and no teapot needed wins every time.

Christmas teas: Mulled and Gingerbread

These two are the most stocking-shaped thing we make. Each comes in a 25g tube that makes about 20 cups, and both are caffeine free, so they work for an evening by the tree.

Mulled is rooibos with orange peel, cinnamon, hibiscus, cloves and star anise. It smells like a Christmas market and brews ruby red.

Gingerbread is ginger, honeybush, allspice, roasted chicory root and liquorice. Warm, a little treacly, no sugar added.

Stocking pairs under £15

Two small things that belong together make a stocking feel planned, not grabbed.

Do they need a teapot?

No. Loose leaf brews straight in a mug with an infuser, a strainer or a brew bag. Use about a teaspoon per mug, boiling water, and 5–7 minutes for the caffeine-free blends. Our brew guide has the times for every tea.

Stocking filler questions

A 25g tube of Mulled or Gingerbread at £12. Both are caffeine free, make about 20 cups, and brew in a mug.

An Elevenses pouch (Jam Tart or Sticky Pudding) at £9.49, a heart-shaped infuser at £6.49, or a gift card from £10.

Yes, if it's ready to use. Pair a 25g pouch with brew bags for £13.48 so they can brew it at their desk without a teapot.

Kept sealed, away from light and steam, it's at its best for months. Check the best-before date on the pack.
