Stocking filler ideas for kids and teenagers

If you are struggling with stocking filler ideas for your children or teenagers, then here are a few ideas that I hope will help.

Just wanted to give you a heads-up that this guide includes items I’ve been paid to feature, PR samples, and affiliate links that earn me a small commission. All opinions are my own, and I wouldn’t include anything I don’t think would make an lovely gift for someone. Jen x

A money box makes a lovely gift for a baby or toddler as they don’t need to have it within their reach and this personalised one from Asda Photo is lovely and a bargain at just £9.

A washbag makes a great gift and this one is no exception. It looks good and is a good price at £25. The washbag is available in four different colours but my favourite is black as it just looks sleek in my opinion! Check out the Helly Hansen washbag to see if it would be a gift for a man in your life.

If you want to buy chocolate but limit the amount you buy or need a chocolate which is suitable for allergens then Play in Choc might be perfect. PLAYin CHOC is a unique gift idea with each box containing two chocolates and a little puzzle. The set is 6 boxes in for £13.50. A fun and tasty stocking filler for the little one who loves chocolate and little puzzles! Check out the PLAYin CHOC website for more details and to buy.

The Nexcube is a fun brain teaser puzzle for adults and older kids to enjoy and maybe even set a new world record! A great toy that will keep even the grumpiest teen busy for hours I am sure. It is just £7.49 from Amazon.

HeyDoodle colouring mats make a great gift for a youngster if you want to buy something they will love! It is a reusable silicone mat that can colour and wipe off time and time again. HeyDoodle mats are available from HeyDoodle for £21.99 each.

Like the mats above, this erasable silicone storybook is lovely for children to colour and wipe clean to recolour another day! This book is one of three available and costs £24.99 from Hey Doodle.

The World’s Smallest Magic 8 Ball and World’s Smallest Uno card game are great small gifts for a teen who thinks they have everything they need and they say they “don’t want toys”!

Nomo chocolate reindeer are cute for a stocking filler and perfect for children with allergies or who are vegan. They taste amazing and if I didn’t know they were vegan I wouldn’t believe it!
