Festive 5-dollar bling from Moon Child Jewelry @ Etsy
Score! I just got back from a Christmas craft sale where I snagged a glittery pair of long bead earrings for my 14-year-old fashionista niece. Not these earrings in the picture, but similar and an equally fine price — Five dollars! … which is just about the maximum amount I want to spend for a stocking stuffer.
Kailee’s stocking is one of those super-sized ones, so I’ve got the holiday issue of a music magazine she likes, which I’ll roll up and stuff with little chocolates and lip balm and bookmarks and such. That will help to fill out the long leg of the stocking quite nicely. But, I do need to pick up just a few more items…
And here, from Rachel Paxton who’s always full of clever and quite frugal ideas, is a quick list of other gift ideas for tiny treasures to fill a teen girl’s Christmas stocking.
Stocking Stuffer Gift Ideas for Teen Girls
by Rachel Paxton
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:
Who can resist her?
Betty Boop Christmas Stocking
- $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
