Teen boy stocking ideas please

[alrightfella]

I always struggle with this and find dd so easy in comparison. Neither are keen to stop getting stockings just yet.

He'll be 15 this year, any ideas appreciated.

Mine always get shower gel, shampoo, spot cream, toothpaste. Pair of socks, mug cake mix, chocolate coins, satsuma. sometimes a little table top game of the sort that are often available at Christmas.

nice shower gel, hair wax, Jewellery (those woven bracelets etc) stress ball, fidget toy, comb, hot choc sachet, sweets, aftershave samples, batteries, socks, £5, mini cereal box, pens, mug, cinema tickets, tennis balls, orange, sunglasses,

Ooo following I’ve just started to put my lists together today
So far on DS13s stocking list (besides the things that all DCs get every year) are a phone case and touch screen gloves

Phone charger (it doesn't matter if he already has one it will break at some point)
Shower Gel
Socks
Pants
Chocolate
Sweets
Stress ball
Those metal maze/game/puzzle things
Card game called More or Less

Moon ball
smellies

goalkeeping glives

Chopsticks wrapped with a pack of instant noodles.
£5-10 Costa voucher
Pringles
Body spray
Hot Chocolate Sachets
Pop Funko
Personalised drumsticks or plectrums
Fidget toys
Sweets, candy floss, fudge etc

• jerky
• jelly bellies
• funny socks
• cap/beanie
• leather belt

Magnetic cable clips are always on the list for both DS and DH, great for keeping headphone wires, charging cables etc together.
Otherwise we go for useful or consumable mainly. Last year (amongst other stuff obvs) DS got a stash of stationery for school as I was sick of last-minute requests for glue sticks etc.

Earphones
Voucher for gaming/foodplace/shop
Toiletries stuff
Touch screen gloves
Funko pop figures
Cd
Japanese candy/snacks (hmv have these in store now)
Drinks
Trading cards
Wallet
Accessories like a belt, cuffs etc.

American Fanta, Vouchers for Greggs, Vue Cinema, PlayStation, Rubix Mini, Football Gloves, Hair Gel, Comb, Chewing Gum, Sweets

Nando's gift card wrapped with one of the range of Nando sauces
Freeze/deep heat spray for sports injuries
Ice towel
Lindt chocolate reindeer
A nice pair of boxers [e.g Calvin klein]
Nike sports socks
snack such as pork scratchings and maybe a bottle of fruit cider if he's allowed it.
Mini lego kit
LED's for his room
Fluffy man socks

I tend to go for mostly consumables, so they don't create clutter. Last year's can of Monster was appreciated. Tube of pringles. Chocolate, sweets.
Usually headphones, toiletries, keyring, something small and hobby related.

I actually find it easier to shop for DS1 and DS2 than for DD as she's not into 'girly' bits like makeup. They tend to end up getting pretty much the same things, with 2 or 3 being more personalised.

Noodle pots from amazon

Thermos mug

Oooh following got an 11 year old and a 21 year old

This has been useful! Just added magnetic cable ties and Japanese snacks for stockings here. I'll add here if I think of anything myself.

If you look up gravity ornaments you get science type decorative stuff. Some of it more expensive than others.

Photobook of his first year.

@RagzRebooted how old is your dd? I just find that dd has more interests in tv programmes, music, films, shows that I can get things for.

DS just likes playing football and his PlayStation and I feel we've exhausted all the accessories that accompany these things! The only things he seems to watch is other people on YouTube playing the same games he does

I've got some ideas from this list though and I think I'm going to go more down the consumables route too.

Slipper socks
shower gel set
razor set
bobble hat
chocolate
gloves
socks
battery toothbrush
playing cards
scratchcard
cinema voucher
water bottle
scarf
football book or annual
quiz game
shower speakers
charger cable
usb portable charger

Assuming they have devices which need them Batteries of their very very own so they don't keep running to me saying - have we got any .......

£ coin tokens for leisure centre lockers
Paracord buddies

Those lights on a strip that change colour. They're around his desk very pretty. Touch lamp. USB cable tower for all his electronic stuff

DS is 13 and having problems with his stocking. So far have a wind up radio and torch. He likes camping so they should be useful.

@GrannyWeatherwaxsBroomstick an SAS survival guide and waterproof map cover were popular with my bro at that age when he was into camping/cadets/DofE
