need stocking stuffer ideas......

.......for a 12 year old girl who has everything!  =)

My SD is hard to buy for because she has everything she likes, and while she's still young, she thinks she's too old for "toys." She's borderline diabetic so I'm trying to stay away from candy if I could. Any ideas?

Re: need stocking stuffer ideas......

  • At Target in the cosmetic section there is usually a end with a bunch of younger girl makeup: lipgloss, glittery nailpolish, manicure sets. There are usually makeup boxes too.

    Mostly inexpensive, you can get her a box and fill it with some play makeup.

    Otherwise, GC to Claire's or Icings, depending on what you have around.

    If you want to stay away from makeup and jewelry I would say a Barnes & Noble GC then she can choose a book, game, cd.

  • Cool. I did get her a CD as one of her gifts but already wrapped it - maybe I'll unwrap that, as well as the hair accessories I bought her and stick them in there, then I'll check out the young girl make up section you mentioned. Right now she only wears lip gloss but when she goes into 8th grade next year she'll start wearing the eye make up. 

    Thanks!  =)

    You don't have to unwrap the CD. I love getting wrapped stuff in my stocking.

    Whoops, to clarify - I put it in a bigger box then wrapped the big box so she wouldn't know what it was. ;-) Otherwise I'd have put it in with the wrapping. :)

  • I love the mini lotions and body washes that bath and body works has for stocking stuffers and the night time moisturizing socks they have are really nice. good luck!

    Ya this is a great idea. I was just at B&BW yesterday, and they have little sets that have a mini body wash and lotion for not too much money. They're super cute, and age/gender appropriate. You could toss in a bath pouf as well. 

    Life is good today.
  • My DD is 12...here are some things I got for her stocking

     

    itunes GC

    lip gloss

    chap stick 

    aeropostale socks

    mini perfumes

    travel size hair spray, hand lotion and band aids for her locker

    little hand held game ($1 at Target in the stocking section)

    GC for "get out of chores free" day

    nail polish and file

    necklace

    gloves

    watch

    key ring 

  • Thank you all, ladies! =) I was just thinking today too, that with all the stuff I bought her (in addition to all the stuff DH bought her), there are a lot of little things - including the mini stuff from B&BW - that I could have stuck in her stocking as opposed to wrapping them. Since she's with her mom tonight I'm going to go through some of that stuff as well as hit the mall on my way home. Merry Christmas!
