Fun stocking fillers for older teens

[AdventCaroline]

Struggling for inspiration for my teen girls.

I have got plenty of little stocking filler bits like make up, sweets, chocolate, stationery, which I’m sure they will love.

Struggling a bit now they are older to have something a bit more fun too - in the past I have bought things like card games, little cuddly toys, mini Lego sets, crafts etc.
I am out of inspiration this year.

What fun things are you putting in the stocking for teens?

Headphones - the cheap ones? Novelty USB stick. Hot choc sticks. Face mask, lip balm, mug?

Fluffy socks. Make-up removal wipes. Nail varnish and remover pads. Hair bobbles (literally cannot have enough hair bobbles), towel turban for hair.

Things to continue to personalise rooms (so if they had magnetic or cork boards already or as a big present, in the stocking could be magnets/pins, bunting or fabric squares to make some bunting, etc).

Crochet hook and a couple of balls of wool...

My mum used to have a running joke from when I was quite little where she would do something like buy a pack of paintbrushes or colouring pens and wrap up every single one separately. So you have a lot of "Oh, I wonder what this could possibly be...." Sometimes she'd wrap some of them to look like they were something different. It was a bit silly at times (the 36 pack of paintbrushes became tedious) but it created a lot of laughs over the years!

Make up/skincare if they use it
Glitter/hair mascara type stuff if that’s their thing
Alcohol minis for over 18 drinkers
Lottery ticket

Reusable, copper-coloured metallic straws. Thick for boba tea/ shakes and thin/angled for everything else.

Mini photo clip string lights?

So far for my 13 yr old:

Xmas eve box: pjs, bed socks, christmas mug, hot choc sachet, hair masks, face masks, book, chocolate bar, sweets, Fluffy socks.

Stocking: My hairdressers was doing a sale on travel size neal and wolfe shampoo and conditioner and something called v3 elixir so got those. Chocolate selection box, bits of inexpensive jewellery like bracelets, lip balms, empty travel sized bottles as she is going away with school next year.

Some good ideas on here.

So far I have for my DDs - Lindt reindeer, big tube smarties, chocolate coins, Impulse body spray and squishy fidget toy. I need some more! My girls are fussy about make up/skin care brands so it’s pointless buying generic ones

This one's free to make (yay!) and goes down well: a "Chore Pass Voucher" valid for 1 wk.

So they get to skip their loading dishwasher/ putting bins out/ cleaning shower...whatever they normally eyeroll at...for a blissful 7 days.
