Thank you.

A charm bracelet?

50lbstolose · 22/07/2025 08:02

My dd was 13 yesterday. I got her some little bits; a chia pet, some books, funny socks, a water bottle, a charm for her bracelet. Her big gift was tickets to a show that she wants to see. She had some friends over for cake and pizza, and we will go bowling in the summer with her fiends instead of a party.
It was more than I would usually spend, especially the bowling, but she has had a tough year

Tickets for something - gig, show, theme park, sporting event (depending on what she's interested in!)

Whats your budget and what is she into?

A gaming chair? A new bike? A day out? Jewellery? Perfume? Straighteners? A fancy hair cut? A teenager facial?

I agree a ticket to see a show, or a gig, if she's into music?

I've taken my 12 year old to see two bands she loves this year and it was a brilliant experience for her (I enjoyed it too!).

My DD got concert tickets, a hair curler, adidas trainers and a pandora charm.

Jewellery and make up and then gave her money to take her mates ice skating. Depends what your daughter is into

My daughter just turned 13 and got concert tickets, trainers, some toiletries and make up, a couple of books, and some nice colouring pens and a colouring book.

A driving lesson. You can get these at some airfields etc for under 17s as it's on private land. There's a minimum height but unless she's really short it shouldn't be an issue

Gentle skincare (Rhode?), summer Fridays lip balm, that sort of thing

I bought my grandson a mini fridge for his bedroom. It was big enough to hold a couple of cans of soda and chocolate. He absolutely loved it.

MiddleAgedDread · 22/07/2025 12:52

what's she into or it's impossible for us to make suggestions! My presents for 13yr old girls have ranged from designer make up to open water swimming kit!

Pomer0l · 22/07/2025 12:55

Stray Kids tickets is what mine wanted and got! Alternatively a shoulder bag

Thank you all!
I might look in to buying some trainers, make up and other bits.x.I suppose I could make a hamper for her.
