15 year old girl - birthday present ideas

[gemloving]

I was an au pair in the UK 10 years ago, my little girl is turning 15 and I have no clue what to get her. I have children of my own now but they are 2 & 0 so no clue what to get a 15 year old.

Any suggestions? Xx

I just gave my friend’s 16 year old daughter an animal bracelet from Fable fableuk.com/. She was thrilled with it.

Lava lamp, some like make up, art stuff (eg watercolour pens, coloured inks), portable charger, craft things (eg stone painting kit), baking kits or books, slushy cup, stationery, nice water bottle, fairy lights, wind chime.

Spacemasks

Our niece turned 15 recently. I got her some bits from Glossier (lip balm, mascara, face wash & mask), then put that in a box with some Tony's Chocolate and a few bits of stationary (pastel highlighters etc).

Things she'd otherwise like include Starbucks vouchers or gift vouchers generally for things like primark or ASOS, sports shops (for trainers or sports bits as she is sporty), perfume or body sprays, new hairdryer or curling tongs, GHD brushes or a tangle teezer etc, she quite likes LUSH products too.

Are you sending it from outside the U.K.? That might change suggestions

A salt lamp, Starbucks vouchers, or an Oodie if you’re being generous.

All the teens I know love these LED lights in their bedrooms.

I bought my 16 year old the strip lights and they’re still in the box in the top of her wardrobe ! I might have to put them up in the lounge for Xmas.

My daughter likes Victoria's Secret body sprays

I just came on to say this exactly. 😊

Just think back what your daughter wants within reason and get her that.

Definitely LED lights ... really easy to install (stick up ) ... my daughter absolutely loves hers

I don't understand this comment.

@VenusClapTrap I sent the mum and her the page and asked her to choose a bracelet and matching necklace - thank you x
