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?

Some insight from me as I've just turned 20:

  • Makeup: HUDA Beauty (their powders in particular are very popular atm), REM Beauty, Rare Beauty, Made by Mitchell, Dior, PLouise
  • Perfumes: Ariana Grande, Sol de Janeiro, Victoria Secret, Marc Jacobs
  • Clothing: Victoria Secret (also good for bras/undies), Urban Outfitters, Primark, PLT, Zara
  • Shoes: Converse, Jordan Dunks/Air 1, Uggs (have recently come back into fashion), Nike Air Max, Nike Air Force 1
  • Miscellaneous: Ringlights, sunset lamps, crystals, Pandora charm bracelets, Stanley cups, Tatti lashes, candles/wax melts

Hope this helps Smile

I think all 16 year old girls are very different. What one would be happy with another might hate.

My daughter is tall not into skimpy clothes and likes big bag comfortable clothing and likes to choose her own. She absolutely hates Primark and all they stand for with a passion and sees Pandora as more for my age.

She also wouldn’t thank you for any make up or perfume etc. She would be ok with a facepack, a bath bomb or good hair brush.

Trainers she likes New Balance and likes to choose her own.

She loves a Cactus and adores chocolate.

Got my teenage Nieces (5, aged 13-19) Oodies at Christmas and they loved them. I’d like one myself actually. I tried one of them on and they’re so warm and cosy

My just turned 16yo is recently into making her own jewellery so she loved the array of tiny pliers, various chains, wires and cords, and endless beads.
At Xmas big hits were an oodie-a-like, a small black leather backpack, band merch an LED desk lamp and a tickets to a VR experience.

Just had a look at Shop Dinosaur and my DD would love some of the stuff on there. Thanks for the tip @ElfDragon

Lego flowers. Roller skates. Shokz bone conducting headphones. Tu leggings with reflective fabric. Pocket digital camera with decent zoom (2nd hand off ebay). Kindle. Amazfit watch (like a fitbit but cheaper - allows her to read phone messages without getting her phone out at school).

ElfDragon · 26/02/2023 22:43

You’re welcome, Silverribbons.

dd and her friends are obsessed with the stuff. Dd and ds spent half her birthday reading the cartoons from the book out loud, and cracking up. It really resonates with them.
