These? Aromatherapy?

My 12 year old was thrilled to get a portable power bank to charge her phone on the go.

Do you have a link to this? I'm in the market for one as well.

Our family tradition going back three generations+ has always been to put an apple and an orange in the toe of the stocking so I'm not going to stop that. But I admit it isn't really exciting! It was exciting for me when I was a kid, because fresh fruit in December was a novelty for us, and Santa always brought the "good" fruit but, times are different for my kids.

But they don't eat chocolate Santas any more and barely eat chocolate but I haven't found any other goodies that would be interesting.

Same here, OP! For several years I put those chocolate oranges in my kids’ stockings, out of nostalgia for the orange I used to get in mine (which were such a treat), but more “exciting” for my kids for whom an orange is an everyday, all year thing. Now those chocolate oranges are commonplace, but I still insert one because they aren’t something my kids buy for themselves.

Mine got one too that looked like this: https://en.air-j.co.jp/product/original/mobile-charger/9377.html
(She’s really into cats).

For food that isn’t fruit, I got her gum in weird flavors.

We also added a necklace and makeup-related stuff, like brushes. Also her favorite Japanese mascara.

For teen and up girls, sample-sized beauty products such as lotions, lip gloss + 💅🏻 nail polish.

Hah! I'm 34 and got one too...I'd wager equally, if not more, excited than your 12 yo!

I will add:

You really need to work on being more inclusive.

I got my dh a small flashlight that has an extendable head and magnets on both the bottom and top. So you can look for something magnetic, I guess. He's a sucker for flashlights and has been fiddling with it more than I thought he would

We always did practical things - scotch tape, travel-size things like shampoo/soap, bandaid, fancy Emory boards, unusual/expensive kind of granola bars, gum, fancy mints, lifesavers, etc.

Not at all glamorous, but totally useful. I think of my mom randomly throughout the year when I reach into the kitchen drawer for that roll of scotch tape that was in my stocking.

We are a very practical family .

My guess is that the PP was referring to her crowd of gift recipients. As in they were all boys. But, I'm sure she can go back in time and tell her uterus to produce some girls as well.

Airplane bottles have been a huge hit with my DH.
