Santa loves stocking stuffers because they’re a lot of fun to pick out, and tweens love them because they can be anything from small, fun things to bigger, more substantial gifts.

How do you choose the right stocking stuffer for a tween?
Step 1: Consider the age of the tween
The age of a tween affects the types of stocking stuffers that are appropriate. For example, younger tweens may prefer smaller items such as candy or small toys, while older tweens and teens may prefer more grown-up items such as gift cards or headphones. It is important to consider the age of the tween when choosing stocking stuffers.
Step 2: Consider their interests
The best gifts for tweens are projects or kits that help them explore their interests. Tween-aged children are old enough to have developed some hobbies and likes, and you can use these to your advantage when choosing a stocking stuffer. Consider what your tween is interested in – whether it’s music, art, fashion, or something else – and find a gift that corresponds. For example, if your tween is into art, you could consider getting them a sketchbook or an art set. If they’re into music, you could get them a gift certificate for music lessons. No matter what their interests are, there’s sure to be a thoughtful stocking stuffer out there for them!
Step 3: Consider their hobbies
Hobbies can help you choose the right stocking stuffer for a tween because they can help identify what the tween is interested in. If the tween is interested in a particular hobby, then a gift that is related to that hobby would be a good choice. For example, if the tween is interested in painting, then a set of paintbrush pens would be a good stocking stuffer.
Step 4: Consider your budget
A stocking stuffer budget should be set aside for items that will be used regularly, like razors and refills for other hygiene products. Items under $50 are generally reliable and fun to use, so they make great stocking stuffers.
