Stocking Stuffers for Teens They'll Actually Use
Lip balm is the stocking stuffer teens reach for every day. How to pick scents, why a bigger tube helps, and a $23 option for two stockings.
Ask a teen what they use every day and lip balm is near the top of the list. Lip products show up in teen stocking stuffer guides every year because they're small, inexpensive and used constantly between classes, practice and everything else.
The pick
- One teen: a single-scent 3-Pack ($36). One for the backpack, one for the bathroom, one for the car or locker.
- Two teens: the Starter 2-Pack ($23) splits into two stockings, one tube each.
- A house full of them: the Assortment 5-Count ($53) is one of each scent, so nobody fights over the strawberry.
Scents teens tend to like
- Strawberry and Coconut Vanilla for sweet-scent fans.
- Peppermint for a clean, minty feel.
- Unscented for athletes or anyone who doesn't want a scent.
Numbrrrz is a clear, untinted balm, so it works under or without lip gloss.
Why the big tube matters for teens
Teens lose things. A 0.5 oz (14 g) tube is about 3.3 times a standard stick, so it lasts longer and is easier to find at the bottom of a bag.
What's in it
Four base ingredients: organic coconut oil, organic jojoba oil, organic beeswax and vitamin E, with flavor oils in the scented versions. USDA Organic and made in the USA.
