if you think she still needs more than all that but have no idea of her hobbies or interests, maybe just give her money?

Blimey, she's a lucky girl, my DD would love an iphone.

DD (17) has a coat, a guitar, socks, some posters and some sheet music.

DS1 (14) mainly clothes and new rugby stuff, including some tickets to the rugby world cup next year.

DS2 (12) has lego mindstorm and jigsaws etc.

We had hours of fun last year with a pack of cards!!

Well I'm incredibly proud of her..she's had a tough year after months of end of trying to find an independent school with space we finally found one a lovely quaker school. She weekly boards and goes back Sunday nights so I don't see a lot of her. After all the bullying and problems she's come out stronger and after 11 years of bullying she's finally happy so she deserves a treat.
I normally till her a little stocking so just want little bits plus I'll be glad to have her old iPhone as my phone conked out last month and I've being running on a cheapie so the iPhone come from my phone cooking out plus I save £2 coins all year round which bought the phone

Yorkshire, you don't have to justify why you are buying your kids what you can afford.

But you have to understand that listing off expensive presents may result in reactions from posters who think you are bragging.

My Mum always used to make us nice but useful stockings with ear buds, cotton pads, make up wipes, nail varnish and remover, fancy smellies, make up brushes etc.

If she boards, how about a nice little photo frame with a photo of the two of you to put beside her bed?

Chocolate?

I've bought ds (15) a lot of chocolate, books, games, fluffy socks, fleece jim jams, DVD's, smellies, and a jacket but we've just got back from an overnight stay in London and the Warner Bros studio so that was the 'biggie'.

Its £40 right enough but if she's getting a beats pill what about a beats pill dude? I looked at it for my 15yo but decided on something else.

Pound shop had Sally Hansen nail polish in yesterday.

I'm just going to have a look at my stocking stuff will post again if it gives me any ides but...

Don't forget the chocolate Shock

What about a beautiful diary and an ink pen, or some lovely stationary.

What are your teens getting for Christmas?

Didn't know they did a dude for the beats pill? £40.00 for a holder? Ideally I just want little stocking fillers as ive spent a lot on her so Prehaps I could prompt her to buy one herself. Bath bombs sound good some new stationary would be ideal maybe a pug makeup bag as a pencil case as she adores our pug

For stockings I have got DD16 and 19 eye liner, mascara, nail varnish, perfume, choc, orangina.

Big presents are DVDs, calendars, lego, board games, clothes. It struck me that I was buying the same things ten years ago but they like it all and it gives everyone plenty to do on Christmas Day.
