When your older kid lumbers into the family room on Christmas morning, takes their stocking down from the mantle and looks inside, you might catch a glimpse of their little kid self. Here are our favorite trendy and traditional stocking stuffers for teens, college kids and young adults.

Stocking Stuffers for Teens and College Kids
Engraved Letter Necklace
We think this delicate and well-priced necklace with a single engraved letter is lovely and something your daughter would be excited to discover in her Christmas stocking. Made of gold-plated brass, it’s also available with pave cubic zirconia.
Leather Driving Gloves
It’s difficult to find cold weather gear that our teens will actually wear even if they’re freezing! These gloves are made from real leather and have soft fleece lining. They are well-priced and are pretty perfect for stocking stuffers.
Scuncis
Scuncis are a favorite way to pull hair off faces and into pony tails. Now, with teens and adult women wearing their hair in buns on their top of their heads, scuncis are also useful to scoop up hair for a quick top-of-head style.
Allbirds Socks
Socks are a wonderful stocking stuffer and, if you can treat your son or daughter to an amazing pair from Allbirds, they will think of you whenever they wear them. Here they are in festive red but check out the other colors and styles – from no-shows to tube socks for men and women.
Made from eucalyptus fiber and ZQ Merino wool, these are unlike any socks your teen will have ever worn before.
Frother
When your teen finishes off their coffee with this handy frother, they can create a customized cup of joe at home rather than heading to Starbucks for a more expensive one.
Essential Oil Bath Bombs
This is an especially nice gift for college daughters who will be thrilled to have a chance to take a real bath at home if they’ve been sharing the communal showers at school. Each is filled with an essential oil: lavender, rose, grapefruit, tea tree, peppermint, chamomile, rosemary, lemon, frankincense, cinnamon, jasmine and sweet orange.
Reusable Coffee Cup
Think of all the millions of Starbucks coffee cups disposed each day and now, think about how much better it would be for the planet to use disposable cups, instead. These come in multiple colors and sizes, all dishwasher safe.
Mario Badescu Facial Mist
This is a must-have for many teen girls who prefer to mist their faces rather than use a heavier moisturizer.
Tile Stickers
Our sons rely on Tile squares to be able to track down wallets as they are running out the door. Now, these new Tile stickers are perfect for teens to use to track their expensive cell phones or other valuables.
While you’re shopping for your family, why not pick up our Grown and Flown book for you or a friend? We promise it will help get you through the roller coaster years of parenting your teens! Now in paperback
Apple AirPods Case Cover
Are your kids getting Apple AirPods Pros for their big holiday gift this year? Consider one of these inexpensive silicone covers that will help protect this expensive bit of tech from scratches and damage.
Lip “Sleeping Mask”
Rich in Vitamin C and anit-oxidents, this wildly popular overnight lip treatment leaves lips soft and smooth. Available in berry, grapefruit, vanilla, or apple-lime formulas.
Face Mask Subscription Box
Your teen can sample 4 different face masks each month.
Jack Black Lip Balm
We are big fans of these lip balms – they have an SPF of 25 and an assortment of pleasing scents. This is a wildly popular cosmetics brand for guys (but great for everyone) and they have lots of other fabulous products and gift sets that are perfect for stocking stuffers.
Dino Cell Phone Holder
With this adorable mini dino, your teen will have a space to rest their cell phone to Face Time with you! They can watch their phones without having to hold them upright. Works vertically or horizontally and is available in a dozen different colors.
Sugar Lip Balm
Sugar is one of our favorite cosmetic brands and this luscious lip balm in Rose looks irresistible PLUS it has an SPF of 15.
Question-a-Day Journal
For your thoughtful teen, this journal will be a way for them to record of five years of their lives all just by answering one question a day.
Stainless Steel Straws
Plastic straws, like plastic water bottles, are sources of waste and pollution. Here is a set of 4 reusable straws that come with a cleaning brush, too.
Field Notes Memo Books
If your teen prefers paper and pen as a way to stay organized when taking notes, here is a trendy brand, with loads of different styles, to pop in their stocking.
Journaling Pens
Discovering a new set of pens in a stocking on Christmas morning will be a thrill for any of your artistic teens who love to journal.
Pura Vida Bracelets
These trendy bracelets are made by artisans all over the world and it’s easy to find designs in your daughter’s favorite colors, including her school’s colors. Through sales of their charity collection, Pura Vida has donated over $2.6 million to 175 non-profits.
Carhartt Watch Hat
These versatile acrylic unisex hats come in dozens of colors and are perfect to keep in a pocket of a jacket for those truly frigid days ahead.
Grubhub App and Gift Card
Here’s the perfect gift for your busy teen or college student – a gift card to Grubhub. Once they download the Grubhub app, they can order from their favorite local restaurant and get dinner delivered with just a few key strokes.
At last count, Grubhub has 115,000 associated restaurants across 3,200 cities and all 50 states in the United States
Moleskin Limited Edition Harry Potter Notebook
Moleskin makes wonderful notebooks and the limited edition ones that are available make perfect stocking stuffers. This one has themed stickers and the cover is the Marauders map.
Paper Airplane Book
We all remember making paper airplanes out of lined notepaper. Here’s a slender book with 69 planes to fold and send off into the air. What a wonderful, nostalgic, way to spend Christmas – folding and flying your own little planes.
Avocado Slicer
For the avocado-loving foodie in your family, this ingenious tool from one of our favorite kitchen brands, OXO, will be a favorite gift.
Sriracha on a Keychain
Has Sriracha become your kid’s go-to condiment? They will appreciate this mini-size, portable, and refillable bottle on a keychain so they will never have to suffer through a meal without adding their favorite spicy sauce.
Notes to Self Socks
A tiny bit of positivity printed on every sock will help your son or daughter start their day off on, literally, the right foot. They are available in both cotton and wool and include dozens of feel-good words.
Left Center Right
This widely popular game is appropriate for all age groups.
HotHands Hand Warmer
If your teen is in college in cold country, these will be a little bit of luxury to slip into gloves or boots on days when they have to trudge through the snow to get to class.
10 Ft Charging Cable
If you have a teen in college (or soon to be going) a long charger cord may be the single most useful gift you can give them. They can have their phone plugged in and charging overnight yet still keep it close enough to their dorm bed to use as an alarm!
Burt’s Bees Gift Set
Burt’s Bees are a universally-beloved brand and we think these three products – body lotion, hand cream and lip balm – are things that anyone would love to receive.
Ninja Outdoorsman 11 in 1 Stainless Steel Tool
You never really know when you’re going to need a “Can Opener, Cutting Edge, Flat Screwdriver, Ruler, Beer Bottle Opener, 4 Position Wrench, Butterfly Screw Wrench, Saw Blade, Direction Ancillary Indication (Water Compass), 2 Position Wrench, Keychain or lanyard Hole (Amazon.)” Fits inside a wallet.
Darn Tough Socks
These socks are some of the best winter socks on the planet. They are indestructible and guaranteed by the company for LIFE. The colors are eye-popping and the thinner ones are great for everyday with boots and the thicker ones are perfect for hiking. We have walked countless miles in these great socks with warm cozy feet.
Crazy Aaron’s Liquid Glass
This might remind your grown up kid of the silly putty of their childhood. This improbable stretchy “liquid glass” will serve them well as both a toy and stress reducer.
Rubik’s Cube
A classic toy that is mesmerizing for teens or young adults.
