Choose Gifts that are Small and Compact

With that in mind, try to choose stocking stuffers that are small and compact. This way, she can easily throw them in her bag and take them with her wherever she goes.
Surprise Her
Most little girls love surprises so why not make the stocking stuffer gifts a complete surprise for Christmas morning. It is sometimes a good idea not to ask your Tween what they want for Christmas as they may just give you a huge list! If you are unsure of what to get them then ask a friend or family member for advice.
Spoil Her
Spoil your tween with some inexpensive items in their stocking that you would not normally buy. Things like a special chocolate bar, fancy hair accessories, that cute (and a little overpriced!) pen and notebook set, personalized stationary or fluffy slippers.
