As a mother of teenage kids, I would consider the following ideas for stocking stuffers:
- Small treats or snacks, like chocolates, hard candies, or jerky.
- Fun novelty items, like temporary tattoos, funky socks, or a deck of playing cards.
- Beauty or grooming products, like lip balm, hand sanitizer, or a small bottle of perfume or cologne.
- Fun gadgets or tech accessories, like headphones, a portable charger, or a keychain flashlight.
- Fun and affordable games or puzzles, like a small deck of cards or a miniature Rubik’s cube.
- A gift card to their favorite store or restaurant.
- A small, practical item like a notebook, pen set, or planner.
- A cozy item like a pair of gloves, a beanie, or a scarf.
- A fun, inexpensive book or magazine.
- A personalized item like a monogrammed keychain or a photo frame.
I hope these ideas give you some inspiration for finding the perfect stocking stuffers for your teenage kids!
Teenagers are hard to buy for… so good luck
Gift Ideas: Stocking Stuffers For Teens
Gag gifts
Gag gifts are a type of gift that is meant to be funny or humorous, rather than practical or useful. Kids of all ages (and adults) often enjoy receiving gag gifts because they add an element of surprise and playfulness to the gift-giving experience.
Funny gifts can be a fun way to add a little levity to a holiday or special occasion, and they can also be a way to show someone that you know them well enough to know what will make them laugh.
There are many different types of gag gifts, ranging from prank items like whoopee cushions and fake vomit, to more lighthearted gifts like silly hats or novelty socks. No matter what type of gag gift it is, the goal is usually to get a good laugh from the recipient.

Quick Story: Shopping For My Teenagers Last Christmas
It was the week before Christmas and I was feeling overwhelmed. As a single mother of two teenage kids, I had a lot on my plate. Between work and taking care of the house, I barely had time to think about Christmas shopping.
But as the holiday approached, I knew I needed to get a move on. I had promised my kids, Jake and Samantha, that I would get them each something special for Christmas.
On Saturday morning, I dragged myself out of bed and headed to the mall. I wasn’t looking forward to fighting the crowds, but I was determined to find the perfect gifts for her kids.
As I walked through the mall, I tried to think about what Jake and Samantha would like. Jake was into sports and video games, while Samantha was more interested in music and fashion.
After a few hours of shopping, I was starting to feel a bit frazzled. I had found a few things for Jake, but I was having a hard time coming up with ideas for Samantha.
Just when I was about to give up, I stumbled upon a small boutique that had all sorts of unique and stylish accessories. I browsed the shelves and came across a beautiful handcrafted bracelet that I knew Samantha would love.
Feeling triumphant, I headed back to the car with her shopping bags in tow. I was exhausted, but she knew that the look on her kids’ faces on Christmas morning would be worth it.
My advice would be don’t think of something big, make it more personal. I know teenagers are monsters, but they still care.
