Teenage boy stocking fillers

[NeonLover]

So many ideas for the girls but really struggle with my boy’s stocking. Often get ideas from other people’s lists so what is everyone putting in?

How old is your ds?

Following for exciting ideas! Only got sweets, chocolate, scratch card, lynx deodorant and socks so far!!

Mine always get pants and socks, pack of pop tarts and tube of pringles wrapped to look like a cracker. I forgot the pringles thing one year (we had packs in the cupboard, I just hadn't wrapped them) and they were really disappointed!

I needed this thread. So far my 15 year old ds stocking only had edibles like haribos/popcorn /fudge in it. I have ordered him a leather bracelet though. Think I will get some touch screen gloves.

Great list thank you!

@CoffeeChocolateWine DS is just starting to get into haircare- what brand styling products did you go for?

@Acunningruse, my DS likes the hair powder best and uses Slick Gorilla. They also do a sea salt spray but he didn't like it as much.

Bump any more suggestions?

A student cookbook and some utensils. Unless he is already a masterchef. You get so many posts about teens going to uni unable to cook.

Something to make / grow. It could be a 3D puzzle, cheese making, mushroom growing. As a teen I built a camera, a radio and a calculator. But that was in the cark ages.

top up on school stationery (pens, post its, highlighters etc)
extra long charging cables
power bank (anker brand is fab)
portable speaker
hand warmers
costa / greggs / cinema vouchers
smellies (deodorant / shower gel / hair gel / shaving bits / face wash / bath bomb etc)
posher pants or sock (TK maxx often good for this)

noodles or unusual snacks
baking kit / cake mix / smores kit
reusable bottle
wallet / card holder
phone case
smaller games - dobble / monopoly go / decent playing cards / rubiks cube
slipper socks
puzzle books - Murdle is popular with some of the geekier kids I teach
