Help! Teenage DD. No presents

[ArthurChristmas2]

So, my lovely girl is just 15. My shopping is pretty much done apart from her. I have no presents whatsoever. She’s never asked for anything, ever. She’s not into brands. She has a phone, a laptop, kindle, new camera for birthday. She doesn’t really need any new clothes. She rarely wears jewellery. She does a lot of dance but we’ve either had to buy equipment as it was needed or she has regulation uniform. I am so clueless it’s frightening. Please hit me with your DD lists and ideas. Desperately seeking something to get her (I also have to get both sets of grandparents).

Luxury toiletries and I mean luxury a weighted blanket, an oodie, dancers tights leotards quality ones, favourite dance books say a history of dance. Sorry not much help.

[FAQs]

My 16 year old doesn’t know what she wants so I’m also struggling! I was thinking of the new Marc Jacob fragrance but otherwise I’ll be stealing ideas from your thread

Tickets for a show?

[KarmaNoMore]

Amazon vouchers or the cash, sounds absolutely awful but that is the only thing that works for my “not materialistic” teen.

He doesn’t spend them straight away, but when he wishes for something, they are at hand.

[dementedpixie]

Pyjamas, fluffy socks, cardigans, toiletries, etc
My dd is also hard to buy for as she isn't into clothes or make up

[dementedpixie]

And cash doesn't really work either as she doesn't buy anything either

[Rainbowqueeen]

AirPods
Powerbank
Massage voucher
Movie tickets
Coffee voucher
Make up or a voucher for a make up lesson
Decorative items for her room
Does she like to cook?
If she’s into dance would she like yoga pants, a yoga mat or one of those foam rollers to help you stretch?
Nice bath or skin products

[Chlordiazepoxide]

Monthly Bakedin box? We get it monthly and make a cake together. It's lovely and she only engages if food is involved

[Ted27]

Young Driver lesson
gift cards for Greggs/Costa/Starbucks etc etc
watch
subscription to a magazine
camera accessories
photography book

[ktsc89]

Yes if she likes to cook then maybe a baking book and some equipment would be a good shout? Would keep her busy in lockdown?

A few other people have mentioned mini printers where you can print out pics from your phone?

A perfume. Some stuff for her room to make it more cosy so maybe fairy lights etc, little trinkets, something along that theme?

[Thewinterofdiscontent]

Silk pillow cover ( good for face wrinkles and hair frizz).

Quirky earrings? Etsy has tiny bottled water or Greggs sausage roll earrings!

Books. Bit of feminist stuff? - Handmaids Tale etc.

Yoga mat

Thanks guys, it’s so tricky isn’t it @FAQs? She has never really liked money, it sits in her piggy bank until I find with horror how much is there and bank it. She works occasionally so earns a little bit and NEVER spends! I have been lingering over an oodie as she is always cold.
We have experience tickets from last Christmas still unused due to COVID. I’ve been a bit put off buying any tickets until we’re out the other side.
@Rainbowqueeen she’d love Airpods but she inherited my tiny ears and they don’t fit! She does love cooking but we’re big in the kitchen and I’m struggling to know what to add. I did get a crepe machine last year and it’s been a huge hit. She’s had a rotten year. Just feel I want to get something that’s right!

My niece similar age is after a Hollywood mirror one of those table top
Ones with bulbs around the borders, little mix concert tickets and a new iPad case.
I have bought her some nice make up and skin care bits from Clinique. My mum has bought new bed covers, pjs and cosy fluffy socks.
Skin care, make up, voucher for Starbucks etc, voucher for favourite clothes shop, new bag or purse.
An experience day, last year we did a cupcake making and decorating class with my mum and other neice too which was fun then went out for dinner and "mocktails" afterwards which was lovely.

Ooo I will google silk pillow now. It’s a driving experience that’s sat in the drawer. Can’t sit in car with others at mo. Photography book is s good shout and I might start looking at some sort of course, we got her a good camera and she needs to understand how to use it!

[MaverickDanger]

Waffle maker? Kitchenaid?

Nice bedroom things are always a good way to go, as well as cosy PJs and loungewear.

[ArthurChristmas2]

@PurpleFrames the embroidery T-shirt is genius, thank you. I should have said she’s very crafty and has fimo, makes clothes etc. @Thewinterofdiscontent silk pillow, fab thank you. Never come across one. She has curly hair to die for and she wakes up like Einstein! I might get some sleep scents as well as she struggles to sleep.
Bath bomb, face mask, couple of books in stocking.

[RomaineCalm]

@PurpleFrames - which face masks do you recommend. Not for DD but I have another family member that would like them.

[gavisconismyfriend]

How about a subscription to a monthly goody box? My teen loved the paper gang stationary one, but beauty ones or a baking one might go down well too.

[Safeguardingconcern]

Have a similar dd of the same age. Place marking for ideas!

[WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo]

My ds is similar, he's always been happy with his lot and doesn't ask for anything.

So far he has a coffee machine and a sack of beans 😬

[Mykittensmittens]

If she already dabbles in fimo then look into polymer clay further - you can make fantastic beads, and there are lots of books on polymer bead making and it’s quite skilled. You can create fabulous things with it.

[TicTacTwo]

Does she have a Spotify premium subscription?
