  • Hand Soap (find a great masculine scent like Bath & Body Works: Mahogony Teakwood)
  • Nail Clippers set – each of our kids has their own set of nail clippers. They don’t have to look for them every time that they want to trim their nails. They know just where to look since they keep the set in their rooms.
    On that same idea – scissors! Somehow ours disappear constantly. 🙂

O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream – This lotion is a FAVORITE in our house. It heals, relieves, and repairs extremely dry, cracked hands. Perfect for anyone who works with their hands or just has dry skin.

  • Aftershave
  • Lighted Tweezers – small led lighting built right into the tweezers to help them see every thing from a hair to a splinter!
  • Hair products (shampoo, conditioner, hair glue)
  • Toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, and floss.
  • Crest White Strips – I’d get the sensitive strips for teens, especially if it’s their first time using them.
  • I mentioned it before, but RUGGED & DAPPER Chapstick for men is great.
  • Small grooming kits are also stocking stuffers ideas for teen boys. Handy kits should include nail clippers, tweezers, cuticle cutter, floss, breath freshener, and other mini toiletries that can help maintain their hygiene. Such stocking stuffers ideas for teen boys are perfect if they’re involved in sports since they won’t have to carry bulky items but just grab these small kits instead.

PRACTICAL STOCKING STUFFERS

The stocking was always the place to go when you were waiting for your practical gifts… socks, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hair ties, etc. It’s also the place to go for some really FUN gifts! We’ll cover all of those, but let’s start with a list of our favorite practical stocking stuffers for your teenage son.

  • Kings Loot Minimalist Wallet  – Our teens (and my husband) have this hybrid wallet by Kings Loot– it’s their best seller by a long shot, and rightly so. It’s simply the best of both worlds and everything you’d want in a wallet. They even have a lifetime replacement guarantee.
  • A beanie (check out the Bluetooth beanies, too!) The perfect accessory for winter is a cozy beanie! You can keep their ears warm and look cool at the same time. Teen boys even wear this inside, so that lets you know that they are comfy.
  • Gift Cards for their favorite place to eat/shop.
  • AA & AAA batteries – We put this pack of AAA & AA batteries in the kids’ stockings. They can use them for gaming devices, remotes, clocks, etc.
  • Gorilla tape & super glue. You can’t go wrong here. I think our boys use this stuff on a weekly, if not daily, basis.

THINGS FOR THE CAR

It can be hard finding cool gifts that are still practical and not too expensive, but if your kids love cars as much as mine does, it can be a great place to use some of their stocking stuffers. Here are some awesome stocking stuffer ideas that they can use in (or for) the car:

  • Car Wash Gift Card
  • Gas gift cards
  • TICARVE Cleaning Gel for Car Detailing. This Car Cleaning Kit is great for removing dust from everywhere in your car! Detailing Putty (aka: Cleaning Slime) is an awesome Universal Dust Cleaner for Auto, Laptops, and more!
