Birthday Shopping trip

[ThePhoenixRises]

Where would be best to take a 16 year old DD for a birthday shopping trip?

She suggested London but I'm wondering if a designer outlet would be a better and cheaper option.

What is Bicester village designer outlet like, would it been good for a teen?

Can anyone recommend anywhere else?

I'd recommend one of the Westfield shopping centres as it has a range of shops at different price points, plus lots of restaurants.

It's a matter of touching lucky at a designer outlet.

But it depends on what your teen is looking for.

What's your budget like?

Sometimes it's nice to get one off in the flagship stores they have in London, if that's where you are close to.

You want somewhere special to eat as well.

Bicester is probably too high end designer for a 16 year old, unless you want to get her one nice (expensive) gift. The DKNY shop is usually relatively cheap and the cosmetics company has discounted brands. Otherwise you are looking at mooching around shops like Chloe, max mara etc which probably aren’t her bag

I agree Westfield is probably a good choice, the west London one has more mid designer brands

Definitely Westfield. Tons of shops and tons of places to eat, suitable for all budgets.

Thank you everyone, Will take her Westfield.
