Have we got a stocking filler for teenage boys thread yet?

[levantine]

I have two - 14 and 18

Apart from socks and smellies, unusual Korean noodles and sweets have gone down well in previous years, but I am really running out of ideas!

This is my son! 13yo.

Also doesn't like noodles, "gaming" is a Nintendo for which he has everything he needs for already.

Not interested in skincare (can barely get him to shower!) And he hates anything like fizzy drinks.

I also hate spending on "tat" if I'm buying, it's needs to be useful..

Mine just asked for tajin seasoning

Rubriks cube

Thank you - so many ideas I'm stealing :)

Couple more ideas I've got for mine which I haven't seen already on here:

Chapsticks (constantly stealing mine)
Star face spot stickers
Odour buster balls for football boots

That's good to know! I like baking too but thought they were worth a try for a quid 😊

Has anyone said chocolate orange yet?

Love the Dr Oetker sachet idea.

Croc lights went down well here last year but the best things were mini Nerf guns (I have two boys). Although I did get shot quite a lot...

Father Christmas usually gets my two a 'big' present and then some little ones, but we've really struggled with big present ideas this year.

Instead, we're getting lots of small useful items (toothbrush, toothpaste, pants, socks etc and then we're going to sellotape cash to the item (£1, £2 and £5) so they have something to unwrap but will be useful and they can go shopping in the NY sales. We'll just have to carefully go through the wrapping paper first before it goes in the recycling!

14yo DS' stocking is a lot harder to do than 12yo DD's, so I'm looking for ideas on this thread. So far, I've got:

• Venchi chocolate orange cigar (which will make him laugh, rather than encourage smoking!)
• Mount Cleverest football edition
• Multicoloured blank revision cards
• 50 Things Every Young Gentleman Should Know
• GCSE French revision flashcards
• Why Your Parents Are Driving You Up The Wall and What To Do About It
• Chocolate coins
• The Shadow of the Gods book

DS 16’s stocking fillers this year:
Pop Tarts
How to Speak Dog (book about understand dog body language)
Mini Bop It
Posh body spray
WW2 playing cards
Chocolate cigar
Bubble tea kit
Celebrity Guess Who (cheap version from Sainsbury’s)
Mug
Bag of Reese’s pretzels
Bottle opener that fits into your wallet
Fake Stanley mug
Milka chocolate spread
Magnetic bead puzzle

Last year DS's stocking consisted of nothing other than chocolates and sweets and the obligatory satsuma and some shower gel. He was thrilled. He couldn't believe his luck as he unwrapped more and more junk. I'm planning on doing the same this year but might mix it up a bit with some Pringles. He has already started putting requests in!

You know I really like that idea of a stocking full of junk!
I could add some fizzy juice. My normal magazine. And maybe a tiny lego set.

I like the kids Stockings to be similar which with a 6 year gap isn't always easy. But I also hate bundles of tat that nobody really wants.

Forgot to add a mini power bank for college.

Choc
Whittling knife
gift card
Keyboard putty

Christmas socks

I try to get him things he’ll use rather than tat!
things that went down well with him
and his cousin last year were a trainer cleaning set, the magic balloon glue stuff ( lots of fun with that!), trainer protector thing, air pod cleaner, pockys, keyboard putty, crimpits, cooling towels Oh and a head massager!

Mine also loves games - I have got some packs of board games!

I was literally just coming on to start this exact thread! 2 boys, 19 and 15 here.
I haven't really got started this year yet, but previous hits have included:

Trainer balls
Boot buddies for rugby boots
Trainer key rings
Food - always lots of food! Favourite chocolate and sweets mostly
Socks and pants (of course)
Rugby team / film themed mug

Mine hate getting 'smellies' so that's out. They always get a book (to sit on the shelf and not read)

That is inspired!

Those grip socks for playing football seem to be a thing at the minute so I’ve got a pair of those to bung in.
