Niece turns 14 next weeks and wants a 'surprise' for her bday 😅 Never found this a problem before but at her age it's all about brands, influencers that kind of thing so don't think a primark haul would cut it!! Is there any must have clothing, skin or hair care brands or items u can educate me about??!

Buy her a PLouise mystery box, or just Plouise items if she's into make up & skin care, the brand is viral on tiktok & sought after by this age!
White fox Boutique hoodies are popular too but make sure they're the real deal!

Babble and Goose joggers
bijoux de Mimi jewellery

are the latest in our house!

A pack of white Nike crew socks is very popular with teens too.

Does she read at all? I got my then 13 year old a Sarah j Maas book after recommendations from here and have never seen her again.

It's the book tok/romantasy thing which seems very popular (they do have some sex in by all accounts which doesn't hugely bother me and I remember the stuff we read at 14).

A TikTok approved book’s a good shout.

My three DDs are a little older, but all of them would be delighted to be given a jellycat. The key rings that can be hung on bags seem to be very popular. And it’s quite nice to give an old fashioned toy!

Nike crew socks, Nike in general used to be a winner but she has moved away from that now.

P louise / Byoma / Ordinary / Charlotte Tilbury and a million other brands of makeup and skincare I cannot remember. Also ELF at a lower price point (from Superdrug)

Bershka / urban / hollister / brandy Melville for clothes. Probably her biggest want at Xmas was the hollister checked pj bottoms with the writing on the waistband.

She doesn't read a lot but Heartstopper and the girl in pieces sets are the ones she does read.

Fluffycloudsfloatinginthesky · 20/02/2025 07:05

Oh yes and Jellycat obsessed.

ConfessionsOfAChocoholic · 20/02/2025 07:06

Sol de Janeiro gift set. My 13 y.o would choose the 62 set with the bum bum cream.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 20/02/2025 07:16

DD(13) always likes Converse boots in a new colour.

reluctantbrit · 20/02/2025 07:22

My teen wouldn't look at any of these brands, sorry. Jellycat may be the only one.

Ask her mum what brands she uses or follows/would like to have. Much saver than organising a return.

Brandy Melville. Or Pandora charms

I have a 14 year old DD but have to say, she and her friends have a wide variety of tastes. My DD loves Nike clothes. They all seem to like big, baggy hoodie by brands such as Essentials and White Fox.

FartSock5000 · 20/02/2025 08:46

Nike/White Fox hoodies
P Louise makeup
Sol de Janeiro
Drunk Elephant
Rare Beauty or Fenty lip items
Pandora pendants/charms
Jelly cat
Stanley cups

Or gift vouchers.

What about a nomination bracelet. Around my teens friends it seems popular (older teens though) but not too expensive for the bracelet and then can add charms at each birthday/christmas www.nomination.com/uk_en/composable/composable/bracelets
