Great Ideas for Tween Boys' Stocking Stuffers

TM Spaulding
It's getting closer to Christmas time and many of us are wondering how to find the perfect stocking stuffers for our tween boys. This article contains a detailed list of suggested stocking stuffers perfect for your tween and links to find more information on the suggested items.
What young boy can resist the appeal of Legos? You might be able to find some small Lego sets perfect to toss in your tween's stocking. Check out a unique Lego, Yoda pen at http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=p2156&cmp=afc-csena&hqs=p2156. There are lots of other great ideas to find here.
Consider a cool wallet. This is a useful tool for tween boys as they get older and there are some really different styles available these days - not like the boring brown and black leather wallets we're so used to seeing. Take a look at this site to see some alternative wallets for your boys at http://www.gifts.com/search/product/Vans-Drawn-Together-Wallet-Mens?ideaID=9396&prodID=250655.
How about considering a stylish beanie cap for cold weather? The North Face has a wide variety of hats that are both thin and effective. Stay warm while looking fashionable and staying less bulky. You can see a full selection of boys' beanies at http://www.thenorthface.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TNFSearchResult?langId=-1&storeId=207&catalogId=10001&searchTerm=beanie#1255050950380.
Create expressive skins for iPods, phones, or gaming devices. Visit www.Gelaskins.com to see their huge gallery of artwork available for purchase online. I recommend making your own gift certificate to represent this gift so that your tween will have the ability to design their personalized look. Or, if your child does not yet have an MP3 player, this makes an awesome stocking stuffer. I like to check out pricing on www.Buy.com for some of the best deals on electronics.
Tween boys also appreciate the novelty of bargain basement video games. Find some old DS games for rock bottom prices at most video game stores. You might even find some more recent titles for PS2 or Xbox if you look through the clearance bins.
Candy and snacks will always go over well with young boys. Choose a few of their personal favorites and load the stocking up.
For those of you with little readers, there are tons of great miniature books available. Find a miniature book that matches your tween boys' interests at http://search.gifts.com/find/site?keyword=miniature+books or amazon.com.
The easiest stocking stuffer is also one of my boy's favorites. Simply include a little cash in your child's stocking for exciting reactions. Every boy likes to have a couple extra bucks for sweets and such when running around with their friends.
