It's fun to buy stocking stuffers for teen girls. I always use this time of year as an opportunity to give them the little treats they want and/or need throughout the year but that I don't want to spend the extra money for. Here are some items our teenage daughters will find in their Christmas stockings this year:
$5 Starbucks card
AA batteries for portable CD player/MP3 player
Matching knit camisole/panties
Fun fashionable socks
Small hoop earrings
Chocolates and hard candies
I try to find them things that they can use but will also not necessarily expect in their stockings. Listen for clues for what to get when you're out shopping
with them. They really make it quite easy! Here are some other ideas:
Movie tickets
Fast food gift certificates
Perfume/body spray
Lip gloss
Nail polish/manicure set
Disposable camera/film
CD cleaner/scratch remover
Journal/pen
Small inspirational book
Tear-off calendar
Car or room air freshener
