Cheap Stocking Stuffers for Your Teen Girl

ED Watts
After you've finished buying out the stores for gifts to put under the tree, you will need to purchase items to put in the Christmas stockings. The older a child gets, the harder she is to buy for, so check out this list for inexpensive stocking stuffer ideas for your teenage girl.

• Purchase your teenage daughter an iTunes gift card. With a $15 gift card, your teen can go to the iTunes store and purchase more than a dozen songs to listen to on her iPod. This option is great because it is cheap and saves you from buying a CD that would make your daughter's eyes roll.

• Most teen girls love makeup, so head to the makeup aisle at Wal-Mart or Target and pick out a few items. Many cheaper nail polishes run for only a couple of bucks and you can replenish your teen's mascara supply for around $5. Foundation and lipsticks also run for only a few bucks.

• Buy your daughter some hair accessories. Wal-Mart offers cute clips and headbands for around $2 to $3 each and will help your daughter out when she is having a bad hair day.

• Go to Bath and Body Works and check out their sale items. You can usually find an array of antibacterial products and lotions in the smaller size for $3 to $4 each when purchased individually. These items work well because they are small enough to go in your teen's purse or backpack.

• Yankee Candle is also a great option when looking for something inexpensive for your teen girl. Yankee Candle usually has room sprays on sale at 2 for $10 around the holidays and their tarts and votives run for $1 to $1.50 each.

• If your teenage daughter loves to write, then consider buying her a journal so she will have somewhere to reflect on the happenings of her life. Borders offers a variety of different journals for under $10.

• Buy a small photo album for 3 ½ by 5 pictures. You can find one of these at Wal-Mart or Target for $5 or less. Your teen will have a great time filling up the album with everlasting memories.

• Purchase costume jewelry to put in your teenage daughter's stocking. You can find fashionable earrings, bracelets, and necklaces for no more than $3 to $5 each. There are usually a number of stores at the mall that carry these items, as well as discount stores.
