Christmas and birthday ideas for teen daughter

4 replies

Hi all
my daughter doesn’t like to make a list, or any requests, as she feels it’s greedy and likes surprises!! She loves all types crafting, she already has a sewing machine and a cricut and loves them both. She also loves to paint, crochet and make jewellery. She isn’t into fashion, more comfort…. So pjs and fluffy socks! She doesn’t wear makeup but likes perfume and hair accessories. I’m stumped as to what to get her for her birthday and for Christmas, both in December. Her brother has high expectations of tech and fashion, and I like it to be pretty equal. But don’t know what to get her! Any ideas or inspo if you have any similar girls….

Just make a new thread over there ( then this one will go off 🤣🌲🌲)

I know what she means about lists ...I've always found it strange how lists are interpreted as well.

We've said make a list but he won't be able to get everything on it . So your lucky if one thing comes and some suprises

Now DC older we have a family what's app list wish...which we all know again if a few things come from it ,great.

So maybe re packing the list idea is the best way ?? It's putting you in an awkward spot otherwise
Last year my DD had a very modest list so I did buy it and some surprises.

Interested in this thread?

14DD likes the Rolife book nooks - quite fiddly crafty kits that sit between books and have a little light. Currently thinking to buy either a potion/witchy one or the Alice in wonderland set for Xmas.
perfume I would say Miss Dior is safe bet.
