Who else is sick of loading stockings with candy and boring items like deodorant and toothpaste?

We got together at Moms of Tweens and Teens and decided to poke inside the brains of our kids to see what they wished was in their stockings. Here’s what we came up with!

 

The Best Stocking Stuffers for Tween Boys AND Girls!

 

Tween Boys

 

• Dutch Blitz Card Game ($9.60) – Tween boys love this game and you will too. It’s a brain workout but you won’t know it because you’re having so much fun!  It’s like solitaire meets speed, it’s fast it’s fun and it’s perfect for parties and family game nights. We just like to play it to wind down after school some days!

 

 

• Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty Liquid Gel ($13.95) – Part toy, part stress reliever, part science project, and entirely addictive. Place a magnet near a blob and the putty will slowly devour the magnet as if it were alive! Or use the magnet to summon a strand to you like a snake charmer.

• Star Wars Socks ($9.91) – The Moms in the Tweens and Teens Community swear by these socks. You have to check out this company and all that they’re doing! Innovative, creative and made with the best materials, you will get addicted too.

 

 

• The DIY Rubber Band Pistol ($14.99) – What tween boy doesn’t love shooting rapid-firing rubber bands at aluminum cans or action figures? Rubber Band Pistol will neutralize the threat up to 20 feet away.

 

• Santa Clause Popper Squeezable ($8.56) – It’s Santa and he’s shooting little foam balls! Get a few and have a war Christmas morning!

 

 

• Stikball: Soft Sticky Plaything ($5.99) – With a squeezably soft exterior, you can bring the heat and pitch Stikball at windows, walls, doors, or any other flat thing you can find. The ball will cling to the surface with a satisfying splat until you peel it off, reshape it into a sphere, and throw it again!

 

 

• Laugh-Out-Loud A+ Jokes for Kids ($4.99) – If your tween doesn’t like to read, they will now. Kids can’t put this down, reading it aloud to anyone who will listen and even those who won’t.

 

 

• Portable Fingerboard Basketball Game ($5.99) – Small and easily portable so you can keep your fingers busy everywhere you go, this game guarantees hours of fun. Just position the basketball and skillfully use the spring trigger to aim and shoot the ball through the hoop.
