Best Tween Stocking Stuffers
Stocking Stuffers For Girls
1. Christmas Ornament
I love picking out Christmas ornaments for all my kids.
They get one every year and it is always something that they have done in the last year or were head over heels about since last Christmas.
2. Treats
Everyone deserves to have their favorite treats every once in a while.
3. Winter Hat and Gloves
As she is growing and her fashion tastes are changing she may need a new winter hat and snow gloves.
We have had the best luck with this winter hat and these snow gloves!
4. Books for Tween Girls
We both know that kids and reading are huge so get her a book or 2 that you know she will love. They make the perfect tween stocking stuffers.
My daughter is a huge reader and here are a few of her favorites.
You can also opt for a Kindle if she loves reading as much as my daughter.
We got her one for her last birthday and she can’t seem to put it down!
5. Lip Balm
Tween girls are not ready for lip gloss or lipstick if you ask me but they can sure use lip balm.
My daughter and all of her friends have this lip balm and love it.
6. Hair Accessories
Hair accessories make the perfect stocking stuffer and you know they will get used.
We love this hair brush. It works on all hair types. Yep, my daughter and I both use it and we have very different hair.
We also love these hair ties. They are designed to not damage hair.
7. Instax Camera
My daughter is obsessed with it and she says a bunch of her friends have it as well.
8. Nail Polish
Lots of girls love painting their nails. Get her a new polish or 2.
I got my daughter this cute holiday set for her stocking this year. The bottles are smaller than individual bottles but that’s just fine with me.
I can’t think of the last time I finished a bottle of nail polish anyway.
9. Games
We love playing games around here. Here are a few that are perfect for tween girls that will also fit in her stocking - Monopoly Deal and Kanoodle Extreme.
Boys love these games too!
10. Sunglasses
11. Watch
Last year my daughter was all about getting a watch. She is always on the go so she wanted one that would track her steps and all that.
This watch has been a rockstar for her. It charges easily as well with a USB connection.
12. Water Bottle
Holy smokes, decent water bottles can cost a pretty penny these days. So why not gift her the one that she wants?
13. Personalized Stationery
You can pair it with some Gel Pens or these crazy Smencils (and yes, the smell on these babies lasts a really long time).
Stocking Stuffers For Boys
14. Christmas Ornament
As I mentioned above, I love getting my kids a Christmas ornament every year.
My husband took my 10-year-old son to the Boundary Waters this year so I am going to go with a Snoopy in a Canoe ornament.
15. Sports Cards
All my boys and their buddies are into sports cards. They are constantly checking them all out and trading them.
Lucky for us, they make new ones every year😊.
Football is the hot sport around here and this is the best brand to get.
If you want to go all out then hook him up with a binder. This small binder and big binder are amazing. They zip all the way around so there is no chance cards will fall out.
16. T-Shirt
I am sure your son has a favorite character or sports team, just like mine. And I know he has grown since last year too.
Hook him up with a new t-shirt or 2. If you get what he is into, T-shirts can be very exciting!
17. Winter Hat and Snow Gloves
I am sure your son is growing just like mine is, growing right out of his winter gear too.
Hook him up with a new winter hat, maybe of his favorite pro sports team, and these snow gloves.
18. Water Bottle
Has your son been asking for a new water bottle? Put one in his Christmas stocking.
Hydro Flask has a ton of colors to pick from and they come in multiple sizes too.
19. Watch
My daughter got this watch for Christmas last year and now my son has it on his Christmas list.
It is a solid watch that won’t put a hurting on your check book!
20. Sunglasses
When it comes to boys and sunglasses, these are all the rage! And they are amazing as tween stocking stuffers!
Honestly, I just crack up when I see kids wearing them since they are so oversized for kids’ heads.
My son also loves these aviators. He says he feels like Maverick from Top Gun 😊.
21. Games
As I said before, we love playing games around here.
My son has defeated the original Kanoodle so I am getting him Kanoodle Extreme for his stocking.
He is also getting a Rubik’s Pyramid.
22. Books for Boys
I am so grateful that my son loves to read. He is into the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series, which is hilarious in case you were wondering, and Garfield.
If your son likes to laugh and tell jokes, then this is a fantastic joke book to get him too.
23. Paper Airplanes
Being a girl and only having sisters for most of my childhood, (my brother came along a bit later) paper airplanes were not a thing at our house. So, I didn’t realize how much boys love them.
My son is crazy over this paper airplane book – choosing which one to make, making it, and then seeing how far it can fly.
Trust me, this is hours of fun for him!
24. Footballs
Is it just me or does it seem that boys can never have too many footballs? And why not?
There are so many fun ones out there.
We have this Nerf Blitz and Nerf Vortex Howler but my son is so interested in this Sonic Fin Football, so he is getting one in his Christmas stocking.
25. Treats
When it comes to treats, my son and daughter couldn’t be more different when it comes to their favorites.
While my daughter loves her gum and Sour Patch Kids, my son loves Twix and Golden Oreos.
What are the favorites at your house? Let me know in the comments below!
26. Fishing Tackle
If your son is into fishing like mine is then fishing gear is the perfect stocking stuffer for him.
But girl, fishing gear is expensive. This is why I like to gift it at Christmas and birthdays.
We like to fish for Bass, Northern Pike, and panfish.
27. Laser Tag
My son got it last year for Christmas and my boys and their friends have been playing it ever since. It has been the hot thing to play with, especially at night (or so they tell me).
I love it even more than Nerf Guns since I don’t have to pick up all those Nerf bullets.
