Birthday present ideas for a 15 year old

DD will be 15 in a couple weeks and has no idea what she wants.

She has a laptop (3 years old but works), iPad (my old one) mobile phone (again a hand me down) and we got her AirPods for Christmas. She has a special necklace which is the only one she’ll wear. Her console of choice is a Wii!

The sport she does as a hobby doesn’t need specialist kit except trainers which she has.

As she’s not been in school talk there’s been no talk of the must have trainers/bag/coat etc

Does anyone have any ideas?

Pandora charm bracelet x

My dd at that age loved a morphe eye shadow pallet, pandora rings and the latest trainers. She is now 19 so things might have changed.

Thanks good idea but she has a charm bracelet already - but doesn’t want any new charms.

I’ll look at the makeup pallet, that’s a good idea and ask her elder sister she’s much better at the whole makeup buying than me.

I think the lack of direct interaction with friends hasn’t helped! These no latest craze for the summer that she just has to have.

Any more?

Kylie Jenner make up seems to be popular. You can order it from her instagram so you know your getting the real thing. A really good set of make up brushes. When my daughter was that age is was the real technique ones from boots.

To be honest, I'd ask her if she would like the money to put away for something at a later date. Or, and I know some people find it boring, but how about a voucher for her favourite store, or even Amazon so she can have a mooch about and she might spot something she fancies?

At 15 she's old enough not to need something to open, but if she does like doing that, maybe you could get something small like her favourite chocs or a book as a token and then make her her favourite flavoured cake?

Randomselection- I think that’s what we’ll do. I’m sure as soon as she back with her friends there will be something she has to have so having money in the bank to just buy it will be good.

She’s not into Kylie Jenner stuff - but thanks for the idea.

I’m trying to find her matching work out gear but she’s not easy to buy for on this front as she’s a size 3 with a large bust. Shes all’s fussy too which means the ones that do work fit size don’t meet her exacting standards. Hence the money might be best as she can choose for herself!

Thanks for the suggestions so far - happy to hear more!

Yeah. Money for later. But what about a chillys bottle? Revolution makeup is cheap as chips and actually really good. Perfume?

I’d forgotten she wanted a chilly’s bottle thank you!
