overpriced designer clothes they don't normally get
kit for music and sports hobbies
books, CDs and DVDs (I know lots of teens prefer streaming - my two just like 'stuff' - you could always by i-tunes or amazon vouchers.)
stocking presents are food treats, socks, bath and hair products and tiny gadgets.

A trip to London for 3 days to see a musical. DD13 is very excited!

Last year she had her room totally redecorated as per her very precise instructions

I am definitely finding it easier with her choosing a "theme" each year
