Shopping for Tweens and Teens
Tweens and teens can be some of the most intimidating people to shop for out of anyone on your Christmaslist. Unlike children, who are happy with almost any toy, tweens and teens have strong opinions and definite dislikes. The last thing you want to do is buy something ‘uncool’ that gets an eye roll on Christmas morning!

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for All Tweens
I first want to say that this list of stocking stuffers does not necessarily have to apply only to tween girls. Quite frankly, any teen might be interested in these stocking stuffers. Although some of these suggestions veer toward the more traditionally feminine side of the spectrum, there’s no reason why any tween couldn’t enjoy them.
If your tween girl doesn’t have “girly” interests (I was one of these girls!), there are plenty of suggestion on this list that will be great for her, but you may wish to skip some suggestions that revolve around lip gloss, jewelry, etc.
Inexpensive Stocking Stuffers
One thing to consider while choosing stocking stuffers is the cost of items you’ll be purchasing. Stockings can add up to A LOT of money. Keeping most stocking stuffers under $10 dollars and choosing a few special splurges is a great way to way to keep stocking costs down.
Another quick tip for keeping costs down in to include items that your tween will need anyway in their stocking. This could include body wash, face cleanser, toothpaste, deodorant, socks, undies, etc. If you’re going to have to buy it anyway, you might as well put it in her stocking!
One final tip is if you have more than one child, buy things in bulk and split between your children. Ideas like candy, hot chcoolate, socks and squishies make great gifts to split among children.
Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Tween Girls
So without further ado, here are the stocking stuffers ideas for tweens!
Personal Hygiene Stocking Stuffer Ideas
Bath bombs are a winner for almost anyone, child or adult. These ones come in fun shapes that tweens will love! They’re also organic, so you can be sure their skin is protected from harsh chemicals.
Shampoo bars are a great alternative to traditional shampoo. This one is PH-balanced and equivalent to three bottles of shampoo! It’s also cruelty-free, compostable and the pink colour is to die for. It’s the perfect balance of eco-friendly and girly girl!
I love adding practical gifts like toothbrushes to stockings. Not only are they the right size, but I know I’ll have to buy them for my kids anyway. I love these wooden toothbrushes that are eco-friendly (your little tree-hugger will love them too!)
This candy cane scented lotion from The Body Shop is the perfect hand lotion for your daughter’s stocking! She’ll love the Christmassy scent, and she’ll appreciate the animal-cruelty free brand!
A sheet mask is probably new to your tween, but is a fun addition to a stocking. She’ll get a kick out of using it. You can even do this activity together as a mother-daughter bonding activity!
These Burt’s Bees masks are made with 99% natural ingredients, are dermatologist tested and they contain no parabens, phthalates or petrolatum, making them safe for your tween’s delicate skin!
Your tween will love to have their very own hairbrush. This one has fun designs and it’s a detangler brush, which makes it easier for your tween to brush their own hair, even when it’s really messy.
A manicure kit is the perfect cross between a practical gift and a small luxury. This cute pattern is perfect for tweens.
A nail with a holiday-print makes a great addition to a stocking. Plus it’s the perfect size and shape for a stocking!
Make Up Stocking Ideas
If you have a ‘girly’ girl, she’s probably anxious to grow up and start wearing nail polish like her mama. This nail polish is the perfect step in between child-friendly piggy polish and adult varieties. This one is non-toxic and peel-able (no nail polish remover needed!), but has a cute and more grown-up design than other non-toxic polishes.
This polish is a little pricier, but comes in packs of three, so you can split it between more than one kid.
Tween girls are caught between wanting to be grown-up like a teen and still wanting to have fun like a kid! This lip gloss is perfect for tweens. Lip gloss is a more adult beauty product than a balm or chap stick, but the candy flavours makes this fun and perfect for tweens.
