I have two boys, ages 15 and 18. I LOVE filling their stockings every year but I'm looking for new ideas for Christmas! So far, nothing is grabbing me. My oldest son is notoriously difficult to shop for since he doesn't have a lot of wants/needs. I usually add socks, ChapStick, and a small Lego set to their stockings. I'm looking for new ideas!

I went to walmart last night and bought nightpanther body wash. it's by old spice. They also have bearglove, Krackengard, Alphasentauri and Dragonblast. I didn't think they were terribly overpowering, but do have a nice scent. They also had some holiday themed ones, sugar cookie and evergreen.
Manicure sets go over well here, between our string player (viola and guitar) and both kids whose nails grow out of control (thanks to their mother) nail clippers get used here a lot.
I've given headlamps, card games, pens, candy/snacks, enamel pins (DS collects) socks and am currently looking at water toss games.

The teen boys in my family always loved unusual snacks, candies, or drinks. I'd hit up the international aisle at the grocery store, or look for places that carry older candies, and buy some for their stockings.

My boys are a little older. I don’t know if any of these are new ideas, but some of the things I’ve put in their stockings. I will try to think of more or ask them about their favorites,
maybe an experience like tickets for laser tag, paintball, mini golf etc?
Cold weather gear- gloves, hats etc
Warm socks
Rechargeable hand warmers
Chargers
Cords
Portable charger
Multi tool
headlamps
flashlights
water bottle filled with candy
tumbler
stainless steel travel mug
Card games & dice games
Fidgets
Crazy Aaron thinking putty - mini tins
Wooden brain teasers
Does the 18 year old have a car?
Gas gift card
Ice scraper
Snow brush
Tool to break windows
emergency blanket
We started giving them a kitchen gadget every year to set aside for their first apartment. I tried to make them a little fun like ice cream scoop, pizza cutter etc

Thanks for the ideas! I should mention we live in the Treasure Coast of Florida... it's still 81 degrees here. No cold weather gear required! It will be in the mid-70s on Christmas Day.
I love the idea of international snacks! I'm definitely going to hunt for some. I think both boys will love something like that.
