Whether you need inexpensive gifts or stocking stuffers for teen girls, this post has got you covered with gifts in the $15 dollar and $5 range.
I recruited the help of my 16-year-old daughter and her friend for this post; both of which spend hourrrrs daily on Instagram, TikTok, and consume every type of social media content.
Below are the type of gifts they’d like to see inside their stocking; they are thoughtful, useful, and trendy!

What to Put in a Teen Girl’s Stocking
I admit, on some of these gifts I had to ask my daughter, “why do you want this?”. I can’t say that I fully understand the mind of a teenage girl, but now I know what’s on-trend this year and can make sure her stocking is filled with cool gifts she’ll be excited to share on TikTok with her friends.
1. Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm
This brand is all the rage and the thicker balm-stick makes is easier to find inside a backpack.
3. Victoria’s Secret PINK Mini Body Mist
It’s pink, and it smells “girly” but not overpowering like potpourri. The perfect size to take along.
4. Maui Moisture Heal & Hydrate + Shea Butter Hair Mask
Hair is now part of the teenage “self-care” routine and this universally loved hair mask is great for all hair types.
5. Large Non-Slip Claw Clips
One can never have enough claw clips. These are both affordable and stylish.
6. Skinny Tumblers
With multiple colors to choose from, they are easy to customize with stickers -it’s a thing, apparently- if you’re buying for a few teens, get a 4-pack.
7. Premium Makeup Brushes (set)
The perfect makeup brush set to get started and gift.
8. Burt’s Bees Lip Exfoliating Scrub
Remember when soft, kissable lips were a thing? It still is.
9. OPI Nail Polish: Downtown LA Collection
The latest, timeless colors are fun, and teens will love to use them beyond the holiday season.
10. Shea Butter & Sugar Body Scrub
One of my daughter’s must-haves, and we buy this on the regular. Great to exfoliate before shaving.
11. Whipped Shea Body Butter (organic)
It goes on smooth, absorbs instantly, gives you brand new skin. Also great for hands.
12. Aztec Secret – Indian Healing Clay Facial & Body Mask
With thousands of viral TikTok videos and in every YouTube skincare must-have, this clay mask helps teens fight acne and impurities.
13. Layering Jewelry Bracelets
Get one or a few. They are the perfect bracelet to layer.
14. Initial Necklace
Initials are back and go with everything.
15. Juicy Lip Gloss
The trendiest, affordable lip gloss. Get a pack and divide among several stockings!
16. Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
Tiny and waterproof teens love to bring it in the shower -saves the phone!
