Stocking stuffers are great gifts for Christmas - especially if they're eco-friendly. You get a wide variety of choices that are also sustainable and able to last a long time. Need some ideas on what eco-friendly Christmas stocking stuffers to get for your teen? Here are some great products that bring out the real Christmas tradition of getting the most for the buck.

Apple Tree to Be - Grow a Tree Kit - $22.00

It's one thing to love nature but if your teen likes to take it to the next level, this is a great way to get him or her started. The Apple Tree to Be kit includes soil and planting seeds that give rise to a Ralls Janet apple tree (greenish yellow skin apples covered with dark pink and red stripes). The prospect of crisp and juicy apples in time to ripen in the next fall is well worth the price. Buy it online here at Uncommon Goods.

Embossed Leather Journal - Tree of Life - $67.99

The key to an eco-friendly Christmas stocking stuffer gift is that it has to last a long time. This traveler's journal can easily last a lifetime, especially to a dedicated teen that loves writing and aspires to travel throughout life.
