Pressies for teenagers stuck self-isolating

Hi all - well, half term is cancelled - the DSCs and their mum have Covid Sad

They're all more or less ok, bit under the weather - but given their holidays with both us and their mum are now cancelled, I wanted to send the kids some little things to cheer them up/keep them occupied while they're in self-isolation.

Any suggestions? DSD is 13, DSS is 15 - things to do together and seperately.

TIA!

Nail gel kit, Amazon have it all.
New brushes, and a pallet for a glow up, both mum and child can do this.
Could you send the boy something he could make, to start him a hobby?

Thanks - DSD doesn't use make up much yet, but might be a good time to start experimenting!

My DS15 is isolating too. I have just got him lots of treats to eat. We have moved his Xbox to his room so he is hay with that! On the lookout for an Xbox magazine but none at shop.

I don't think he needs anything else tbh

I wouldn't send nail gel/make up to a girl who is not interested in make up - why would she enjoy that ?
Send them something to do with hobbies, art or craft stuff. Or DVD/books they can share and enjoy together. And food treats.

Are they crafty?

My DSD (and DD) have loved mini craft theatre /doll house kits in a tin from Amazon when they have been ill.
