Small Christmas gifts I can start purchasing now?

About foods:

One year I bought my kids a dry goods chocolate wafer melting kit for making chocolate-covered strawberries. There's a similar one for making coated pretzel sticks. They come with drizzle packets.

My older son loves wasabi peas.

I have two teen girls, and I allow them 3-4 “big” gifts, spending around $200 on each girl. I work this into my December budget, but it’s things like smaller little gifts/stocking stuffers that inevitably put me over the edge when paired with the December food budget and gifts for others. I vowed that this year I would start shopping in October for smaller things, a few each month. The thing is, I don’t know what they will want then, and I am afraid if I put cash aside, I will be tempted to spend it on other things. I want tangible things, not side cash.

What are some small, under $10 things that teen girls universally enjoy?

Could you please just try to be a little more inclusive and write “holiday gift” instead next time ?
