Looking for inspiration for a birthday present for 16 year old girl. I’m hopelessly out of touch. Anything been a big hit with your teen girls?

My DD's most loved Xmas present was a cardboard make your own record shop.

Admit though it's probably a niche present...........

A Tiffany necklace.

Sshe has specifically the white heart in gold with a gold initial heart. I don't know anything about Tiffany.

MAC makeup and another brand can't remember.

SpiritedSneeze · 23/02/2023 18:51

Mine is quite sentimental so her favourite was a little ring of my grandmothers
She also loved a little polaroid camera and vintage style rollerskates

Depends on interests...16 year old girls I know mostly like shoes, perfume, makeup and money. Is dior lip oil a big hit where you are?

Silverribbons · 23/02/2023 18:55

I think this is quite hard to answer as 16 year olds really are all very different - but mine almost that age has recently loved light up make up mirror, hair straighteners, plants, tote bags, Lego, duvet cover set, fairy lights and - always - money!

What’s the budget?

She’s quite arty, but I’ve bought her art materials a few times so looking for something a bit different.

budget probably up to about £50, but pretty flexible.

Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions so far.

Will have a look at MAC make up, thanks.

Are there any other cosmetic brands that are popular?

Have a look at a Scrawlrbox subscription?

TheMousePipes · 23/02/2023 19:13

Favourite thing here is currently vinyl.

NeedMoreTea · 23/02/2023 19:31

Recent Xmas and birthday presents have been hair dryer, duvet set, expensive hair products, ankle weights and low weight hand dumbbells for the exercise videos she loves on YouTube. She also wanted a fit-bit style watch but we ran out of budget.

Next she wants to have her belly button pierced!

Roserunner · 23/02/2023 19:32

I got my DD a free standing mirror for Christmas that opens up and has a little mirror inside, a light and storage for her jewellery and make up etc. She loves it and an added bonus is it makes her room look so much tidier 🤣

Mamoun · 23/02/2023 19:35

Duvet set, perfume, earrings, body shop creams and other smelly things...

HiccupHorrendousHaddock · 23/02/2023 19:37

Fluffy fleece throws for her bed, wireless headphones, getting second ear piercing, vinyl albums following her record player.

Snoopystick · 23/02/2023 19:37

Bubble tea kit, necklace with a dangly crystal thing.
