We have four kids - ages 12, 14, 16, and 19. One of their favorite things about Christmas morning has always been seeing what's waiting for them in their stockings. Now that they are teens, it's fun to come up with creative and/or practical little treats and trinkets to give as stocking stuffers.
If you have teens or tweens to shop for, here's a list of stocking stuffer ideas. *A few are gender specific, but most are good for both boys and girls.

Thank you for posting this. I remember loving my stocking when I was a kid but now that my BOYS are teenagers, buying for them has become a challenge. I so needed this post.
Love, love, love. I have older kids so a lot of this is what I've been getting, but there's a few things on your list I'm going to add. Thanks!!!!
Fantastic list! My boyfriend's daughter just became a teenager, and we're kind of at a loss on what to get her. This helps!
What a great list of ideas! I don't have a teen to buy for yet, but I'm going to pass this post on to a few of my friends who do.
That is a great list. I always struggle with finding stocking stuffers for my two oldest and they would love a lot of the items on this list! Thank you!!
