Present that's small: maybe a foot? (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
stocking filler
'present' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stocking filler that I've seen before include "Christmas treat" , "What hardware store is doing" , "little gift?" , "small gift at the present time" , "Little present" .)
