Here are some unique stocking stuffers for tweens that will help get parents' holiday shopping off on the right foot.

Look for Big Presents in Small Packages-Music, media and video content players are a popular choice and allow kids the creativity to download their favorite songs year-round. Plus, these entertainment gadgets often come in a wide array of shapes and sizes, with a variety of accessories, such as headphones and multicolored cases.

Bank on Budget-Friendly Finds-From favorite DVDs, yoyos, action figures and a deck of cards for boys to markers, note cards, rings, bracelets, nail polish and lip gloss for girls, great stocking stuffers don't have to break the bank. Purchasing affordable and fun items guarantees you'll be able to "stuff" any kid's stocking.

Mix Traditional Items with Novel Treats-Candy canes, holiday-themed lollipops and chocolate Santas are traditional items that kids like and expect in their stockings. This holiday season, give kids the ultimate combination of the two things they love the most-candy and video games. For example, there's one unique stocking stuffer, Willy Wonka's New WonkaZoid, that's portable and affordable, a colorful gadget that keeps kids entertained anytime, anywhere. Each WonkaZoid comes with a full pack of Wonka candy, a video game with candy dispenser and stickers to customize it anyway kids like it.

The introductory series includes four varieties to collect and play, allowing parents to stuff all the kids' stockings with something unique. These include: Nerds Hockey game with Grape Strawberry Nerds, Nerds Freeze Tag game with new Sour Nerds, Oompa Candy Flip game with SweeTarts and SweeTarts Shockers Shockball Showdown game with SweeTarts Shockers.

Get Creative with Customized Items-Kids love personalized items in their favorite colors and designs. Picture frames, journals, scented candles, a gift card to their favorite clothing store, movie theater or ice cream shop, a poster of their favorite band or singer (scrolled up so it can fit in any stocking, of course) and a magazine subscription to their favorite publication are all gifts that encompass some of a tween's favorite things.

As you can see, with a little creativity, you can create fa-la-lalabulous holiday stocking stuffers that tweens are sure to love.
