What is the four gift rule?
Have you heard about this great gifting idea for children? Over the past few years, a popular way for parents to buy the most appreciated Christmas presents for their children (stocking fillers aside), is buying just four main presents.

These presents should be:
1) Something they want
2) Something they need
3) Something to wear
4) Something to read


Gap can certainly help with rule 3 (as well as 1 and 2, too). Browse our Christmas gifts for girls and boys to discover 100% organic cotton pyjamas, cosy jumpers, warm padded coats, and denim, tops and accessories that feature their favourite characters - think Star Wars, Disney Princesses and Marvel superheroes.


What are the best stocking fillers?

Stocking fillers are small token gifts that can fit inside the stocking. They tend to be more practical, everyday type gifts. Ideas range from a toothbrush to chocolate to underwear. The best stocking fillers we love are cosy essentials such as socks, hats and gloves.
