Stocking filler list for older teens

[Anotherloverholeinyohead]

Hello everyone
I'm trying to compile a stocking filler list fir my boy teens 16 and 19. I'm trying to give useful things and maybe a better brand that they would normally buy.

So far I have

Pringles
Pants
Socks
Body sprays

Any other suggestions? The stockings are pillow case size 🙄 they would not enjoy mini games or sport related items

yes Amazon is where I bought it from too, just like this

another good one for older teens is a nice wallet, I bought ds a leather one that came in a lovely wooden box and wasn’t too expensive

Mine two Ds's 15+18 last year loved the bags of microwave popcorn, different hot chocolate sachets and the couple of cans of energy drinks ( I normally don't allow them in the house)

Perfect- thank you!

I love this thread, I've created my own list with my favourite ideas from this thread - thank you everyone!!

Pen knife

Lush products

Following.
I struggle with this for 18yr old ds

Things like
Pringles
Noodles
Condiments etc
Wouldn't go down well as we always have stuff like that indoors.

Doesn't have a computer for things like the keyboard slime or hoover.

Deodorants etc is an everyday item, and tbh he generally ends up with God knows how many lynx /dove/TB type sets.
He already drinks far too many energy drinks daily (i cant stop him and have expressed concerns)

Will get scratch cards

Possible a power bank although im sure he recently purchased one will check

Will look at japanese sweets for sure.

@WheresTheRemoteControl my Ds is 19 just before Christmas, here's my list of things to get
Greggs card with £20 on it
Sports grip socks to wear round the house
Selection of ready made shots
Nail clippers
Boxer shorts
Popcorn
Condoms 😂

Need a couple more bits and pieces but Ill put some chocolate in too

Pens / supplies for uni or school
Batteries
Keep cup or similar with coffee card in
Phone case
AirPod case
Unusual snacks / drinks (Asian supermarket or American section of the supermarket)

Amazon voucher
Hand warmers
American cereal
Hot sauce
Coasters
Picture frame or mini canvas with fun photo or family memory (steal one from SM)
Junk food voucher

If you want to bulk out vouchers, wrap them in a relevant container - Starbucks (ask for a spare cup next time your in) movie voucher, wrap in a empty box of popcorn or bag of popcorn.
Cookbook of fave food.
Meal kit, sushi, Mexican etc

So many good ideas on here!

Personally would hate to receive anything boring and useful that I could buy myself

We never have sugary/chocolate cereal, but when we went on self catering holidays, the DC were allowed a variety pack each, when they were gone they were gone and back to the heathy stuff. They were reminiscing about this one year and I put them a pack each in their stockings and they loved it!! Filling too if you have a large stocking/pillowcase

Last year my DS15 was eating loads of spaghetti so i bought him a tool that measures how much to use per person. Obviously his food fad has now changed. I find it handy though.

This thread is fantastic and will definitely sort my stockings. My daughter will be off to Uni next year so I'm also thinking of theming her sticking around things cute but useful for Uni! If anyone has similar age kids and has any ideas I'd be really welcome for ideas.

So far, I have a mini sewing kit, a first aid kit, I'm trying to find some sort of miniature spice kit so she can take a small amount of lots of spices (she likes to cook), cute cooking utensils -all useful and necessary buys but I'll buy 'nicer' versions than I would do if it was in the massive Uni shop!

A blackhead removal kit went down well here last year!

i’m looking at the Chilly camping cutlery sets too for my camping mad son!

I definitely go for less but better quality stuff these days, I’m quite embarrassed at the amount of tat that I used to get just to fill the space.

I Like these threads. Takes notes.

American fizz order placed - some weird and wonderful flavoured cans of drink and potato chips on their way!

Depending on interests ..

Personalised drumsticks/plectrums
Swimming goggles
Themed t-shirt
Phone charger
Candy floss
Chopsticks & instant noodles
Favourite biscuits
Bottle of Coke, latte coffee etc
Pringles
Tube of Jelly Tots etc

I got my teens vouchers last year £10 for Costa for dd £10 Greggs for ds they both liked them but dd moaned she would have rather got greggs too!

I got a mini spice kit for my Ds from Tkmaxx. They had loads!
