Stationery and Pens

My tween LOVES stationery. Anything from notepads to Sharpies and Fineline markers. Gel Pens or Scentos are high on the list too. Available online and in-store from school suppliers and local stationery shops.

Vouchers

Vouchers are always popular. For their favourite shop or shopping centre, online retailer, phone credit, or an iTunes voucher (which you can never have enough off apparently!).

A Joke Toy

Make them giggle with a joke toy like a whoopee cushion or plastic spider.

A Deck of Cards

…and tuck in some instructions for fun card games and/or easy card magic tricks.

A Puzzle Toy

Something like a mini Rubix Cube, juggling balls, Sudoku cube or travel version of games like Connect 4, Solitaire, or Battleship.

Mini Figure

One from their favourite game or tv series.

Retro Sweets

My tween loves popping candy or fizzy sticks.

A Novelty Key-Ring

One to hang on their school bag or coat.

Smellies

Bath or shower goodies e.g. shower gel or bath bombs.

A Book

The latest by their favourite author.

A Money Box

A Mini Jigsaw Puzzle

My tween loves cats and would be delighted with this set of 12 Mini Jigsaw Puzzles of Kittens.

Tickets For An Experience

Tickets for something like ice-skating, cinema, bowling or a voucher for their favourite café, (so they can go with a friend and you can sit at another table or leave them entirely)!

Novelty Socks

Christmas socks or else some fluffy or slipper socks for around the house.

A Notebook or Journal

Perfect for doodles and thoughts. Unicorns are still popular, and this is a nice journal available on Amazon.co.uk.

A bedtime pass or a chore pass so they can stay up a bit later or pass on their chores when they present their pass to you.

A Promises Cheque Book

Make a little book up with promises for things like a trip to the cinema, trip to café, lift to school, afternoon shopping, ice-skating trip, bowling trip etc.

Tuck in a sachet of hot chocolate or a hot chocolate stirrer and some marshmallows.
