Now that my dad has retired my parents (my step mum) have decided they're not going to buy stocking fillers any more
I think stockings ended when I was about 12. I assumed this was normal. Was I wrong?

Stockings stopped for me but was still getting this type of ‘filler’ present.
Best thing we did for stopping them was to set a gift budget.
I think people like buying these things to give you more to open on Christmas Day but when they only have £20 to spend they aren’t going to spend £5 or £10 of it on this kind of stuff.

Yes.
EDIT: Aren't stocking gifts things like chocolate, small consumable gifts such as an orange. Just silly things.

Now that my dad has retired my parents (my step mum) have decided they're not going to buy stocking fillers any more, thankfully. So this year the only cycling related gift I got was Bicycle Diaries by David Byrne, which coincidentally I've already got! I did buy my dad a fancy razor though only to find out that he's now got a beard. Touche I guess.
