Look, I am old and I'm tired. I am the mother of a teenager.

There's this lovely, lovely thread about Christmas stockings for teenagers and there are some great ideas, but I'm really struggling to remember all of them, so would it be awfully non-MN and cheeky, if I could ask you to add your ideas to a list? It'd make my life so much easier! Grin

I'll start it off, from what I can remember. (This'll be like the generation game conveyor belt and trust me, I won't be winning the big prize! Grin)

Nutella
lottery scratch cards
favourite honey (that's personal, but at least I remembered!)
socks
smellies

Stuck already! Cut and paste just the list - we don't need my ramblings cluttering it up! Grin

Thanks peeps!
