Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Teenagers

Past the age of 12, kids' interests in toys become more like those of adults. Try these ideas for some perfect stocking stuffers. Many teens have cell phones. A great gift would be to add more minutes, texts, or buy your special teen ring tones, and games (which are must haves for teenage girls) Don't underestimate the value of just giving cash! I can't speak for everyone, but I definitely know that I won't be wailing in a corner over how impersonal it is.
Besides, it great especially for those without a job. Trust me, I'd rather have a $5 bill than something I can't possibly find a use for.Under cash, gift cards are next in line. But please don't get it for a store that is a quest to get to. I personally don't like gift cards because I don't get out much. Oh, and if they drive, buying them a nice full tank of gas wouldn't hurt.

Stocking Stuffers for Teenage boys

• Think about what a teenager can use. Pens, a day-planner, a key chain, a calculator, or a package of cool Post-it notes would all come in handy.
  
• Look for things that are fun - a baseball, a Pez dispenser, battery-operated games, gift certificates for CDs, or tickets to a theme park, movie theater or sporting event.
  
• Consider items that will come in handy; for example, cologne, an electric toothbrush, a razor, a pocketknife, sunglasses, a watch, tools, or a wallet.
  
• Find a magazine that is in his area of interest and order a subscription for him. Let him know about it by sticking a note in his stocking.
  
• Keep in mind that cash will always be appreciated.
  
• Find out if he collects anything; add a few items to his set. If he collects sports cards, stick a pack or two in.
