Awesome Stocking Stuffers for Teens and Tweens

• 6 years ago

These ideas for stocking stuffers for teens or tweens are sure to delight! Stockings have always been my very favorite part of Christmas morning.  My kids are allowed to open them while my husband and I are making coffee. I love listening to them exclaim over their tiny treasures as we spend time waking up.

Here are 5 awesome ideas for stocking stuffers for teens or tweens grouped by interest: 

The Naturalist’s Stocking

Don’t worry mom and dad, this stocking doesn’t have any throw away junk in it.  It is perfect for the young nature lover in your house.  These stocking stuffers will give them hours of educational bird loving fun and a few treats to make it feel like Christmas.

Spa stocking

Mostly for teen girls (I have one of those), here are a few things she can keep beyond her spa day. These stocking stuffers will give her spa day that extra touch that makes the opening on Christmas morning super special.  These stocking stuffers for teens (and tweens) combine the best part of pampering along with a few gifts to enlighten the senses.

Gamer’s Stocking

This is actually the stocking for my 11 year old son.  All I had to do was hide as I took pictures.  Haha!  I know the star on Christmas morning will be the mini Simon memory game, but the other items will be loved as well.  I’m guessing that he will eat both his beef jerky sticks before we even get our coffee made.

• Travel Simon Game
