Ideas for older teens stocking fillers

Just wondered if all you lovely people could help me. I have 2 teens (boy and girl) and an older DD in her 20's Smile and am struggling to think of good sf for them. TIA

Nice toiletries that they would use anyway e.g. shower gel, soaps, moisturiser etc, and also maybe some smaller makeup/hair bits from brands they like?

Gift card for a shop they like?

Their favourite crisps/chocolate/sweets? Maybe a Terry’s chocolate orange?

Small scented candle?

A couple of long phone charger cables or a wireless charging pad?

Marshmallow I have older girls (20+) and a teen boy. Our stockings have always contained:

Socks and pants. These days the pants for the girls are matching bra and knickers sets (Brastop/Debenhams) and I'm hoping to knit their socks. DS has got socks with guitars on as he's taught himself to play electric guitar during lockdown.
Chocolates/sweets
Makeup for the girls (foundation, eyeliner and mascara usually)
Posh hair styling stuff for DS
Bath bombs
Magazines

DS had a skin for his game controller last year (football related)
A card game
Personalised guitar plectrums
I got handbag mirrors and nail files in the Rex London sale last year for my DDs

This year so far I've bought for my DDs
Sheet masks from Rex London
Beanie hats
Personalised glasses cases (both from Lisa Angel)

I'm getting DS a plectrum maker and possibly a funko pop of his favourite musician.

Plus anything small, inexpensive and useful that I spot between now and Christmas.

mosscarpet · 27/07/2020 16:03

Oh I have boys and girls in this age range. This year I'm doing:
Haibrush (Rex London sale)
Posh shower gel
Earphones
Power bank
Cable protector thing (typo sale)
Small/card game of some sort
Couple of puzzle type toys for youngest ds(12)
Gloves
One item of jewelery for each of the girls
...can't recall what else, will check when I get home.

MarshmallowManiac · 27/07/2020 16:49

Thanks guys I knew you wouldn't let me down. Great ideas, have already bought face and eye mask and mugs. Usually put fluffy socks in too and sweets, just drawn a blank at the moment.

Thanks Woolly will order some bath bombs from Body Shop, you should try these really tasty my kids love them

Funko pops

A Lynx Africa gift set is the law here
I also pop in a gift card for their console

Commentutappelles · 27/07/2020 18:39

In addition to many of the ideas here, last year my teenager also liked getting a new pop socket in her stocking which was a bit random but well received.

My 19yo son loves designer boxers as a gift. No sure how big your son's stocking is though.

loolid · 27/07/2020 20:19

I always add a scratch card or lottery ticket too.

SquishySquirmy · 27/07/2020 20:23

Miniatures for the ones that are old enough.
I love a stocking that clinks!

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 27/07/2020 20:27

I have always found the best stocking fillers to be legs. Grin

MarshmallowManiac · 27/07/2020 21:04

Oh no Netflix he would be delighted to receive some of those boxers, Grin he has some Tommy Hilfiger but would love Calvin Klein I know. We'll see Wink

Just went into town and bought some stocking fillers in Body Shop. They had some good offers, also if you spend £25 you can pick a free 250ml shower gel. Grin Now to put them away from prying eyes!!
