Small Christmas gift dizzy girl left in sock (8,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stocking filler

'small christmas gift' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dizzy girl left in sock' is the wordplay.
'dizzy' indicates an anagram.
'girl'+'left'+'in'+'sock'='girlleftinsock'
'girlleftinsock' with letters rearranged gives 'STOCKING FILLER'.

(Other definitions for stocking filler that I've seen before include "head of a bank robber, perhaps?" , "Extra Christmas present" , "small Christmas gift" , "Pin, for girl, might be" , "Christmas treat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
