if you have teens, what do you put in their stocking?

[grumpysquash3]

They don't believe in Santa at this point!
Apart from chocolate, shower gel and pyjamas, what else? I am a bit stumped this year!
.......yes, I know that probably tells me they don't need anything.....but Santa normally brings 6 presents each in the stocking.

This is brilliant post some really good ideas .... I have boys 18 & 16

Stocking fillers

Smellies
Silly string
Selection box
Face cream ( saving stuff )
New razors
Novelty bits and pieces ( cocktail glass )
Revision books 16yr old

Costa card good idea 18 @ uni

Keep the ideas coming this is brilliant

Top hits for my son last year were
Tiny hands - (hilarious)
Batman keyring multitool
And the wallet ninja

For the drivers, I get car accessories - cleaning stuff, air freshener etc

Like the costa voucher idea.

For the drivers, I get car accessories
Thanks,I forgot ds has a car and drives (he is away at uni) may get something for the car. DH doesnt like things like that, so never bothered

Pringles = great idea. Stealing that one!

They always get a Cadburys selection box too - it's the one thing that dp insists on because he always got them as a child.

Pens - Bic 4 colour ones still go down well. Berol felt tips.

M&S have initial candles half price at the moment, so got one of those for dd1.

I forgot posh popcorn

Loving this thread - bought ball stuff and tiny hands!!

I haven't started yet but great ideas here, thank you.

Lip glosses
Socks
A book
Chocolate

Just blitzed my Xmas shopping stocking fillers for teens today! 3 shops - primark Lush and Superdrug.
Superdrug does fab make up
(MUA or Revolution), prices start at £1 for an eye liner
micellar cleansing water £1
dry shampoo
shaving gel
volumising powder for hair £1
Hair brush/tangle teezer
Adidas toiletry set

Lush - bath bombs

Primark
Pjs
Pantsocjs
Hat
Gloves
Novelty make up blending sponge
Poo emoji key rings
Straws that give you a funny fave for selfies
Headphones
Sweets

From previous shops I've bought
hot chocolate sachets,
a poo emoji mug
loads more make up for dd
electric tooth brush each
fire starter thing for ds who does DoE
Selfie sticks from Tiger
Back scratchers from Tiger
Calculator,

I usually aim for each stocking to have:

Pyjamas
Dressing gown (if they need one)
Slippers (or fluffy socks are popular at present)
Normal socks
underwear
A book
DVD
Pens/rubbers etc (for school, but nice ones)
Tooth brush
Gloves
An item of clothing
Music (for their instrument)
Chocolates (usually plain chocolate orange)
A couple of cheap fun things like mini jigsaws or Sudoku book
Purse/bag
A couple of nice things that I've seen and know they'd like

It makes a huge stocking and most of it they'd need anyway. Dh has a fit every year when he sees what there is to wrap up. Then he calms down when he sees what it actually is.

Things like PJs etc are main presents here. Stocking is for small stuff.

Wow some of these stocking must be HUGE! I thought they were only for small things (well they are in this house....).

Some good ideas, will pinch the smaller ones.

Choc coins, clothing

DD's will include a sugar mouse after a slightly sad conversation last year when she said YES she did still like them she just didn't eat them for a long time because they were cute
Otherwise fluffy socks, Owl Post earrings, Quibbler/Daily Prophet jotter pads (v. cheap from ebay for anyone with an HP fan), instant chai powder, choc bar, book, some nice showergel + of course nuts / tangerine.

Biscuits
Chocolates
Posh drinks (lemonade etc)
T shirt
Calendar
Diary
Underwear
Socks
Deodorant / perfume
Make up
European adaptors

My ds 14 this year will have
Fruit cider
New wallet with some euros in for trip next year
Hot choc sachets
A spare inner tube for his bike
Toblerone
Jelly belly bean tube
Hair clay
Lynx deodorant

Some good ideas on here. I'll be using some of them thanks!!

That's funny, I thought I'd be the only one "gifting" dried mango!

Yes also to mini marshmallows and hot chocolate.

My 14yo (along with my 10yo) is getting;

• selection box
• tube of smarties
• chocolate reindeer
• Guinness book of records
• scout torch
• hammock
• bakedin mug cake mixes
• lakeland mug (with how to make a mug cake recipes around the outside & ingredient levels inside)
• new ipad case
• rubix cube (well dodecahedron I think, they have cubes and I got different ones last year which they liked, so gone for different ones again this year)

I've done hot chocolate (the 1-shot sachets, sprinkle bits and squirter cream) for the last few years.

The Teenager who came to Tea (spoof on Tiger) looks good.

I haven't started yet so marking place but a chocolate Santa is a must in our house.

Doing dd1's boyfriend a stocking as his present this year too. So far it has:
cookery book
Jack Daniels barbecue sauce
Jerk barbecue sauce
sweet chilli sauce
hot chilli sauce
mustard
hot chocolate

Any more ideas for not too heavy to carry on train/no refrigeration needed foodie stuff to go in there, please?

Remus, what about something nandos? Peri salt?

Just put that in my basket too - great minds! Thank you.

Lotus biscuit spread?

Brilliant ideas here - thanks for sharing!
It turns out you can buy poo emoji slippers, just in case anyone is interested :)
