No 14 year olds I know would wear it. Voucher or cash works for my 14 year old twins.

Probably not, it's a bit old fashioned for a teenager

My 14yo wouldn’t. Sorry.

No, sorry. My 16 year old niece would think that old fashioned.

While you’re there, what about this for a nearly 13 yr old who has asked for eyeshadow palette?

Go to Superdrug. You can get good quality stuff for less (or buy more for the same price)

Revolution is a good brand from there and there were lots of deals on it for Black Friday.

Teenagers and M&S don't mix really. They'll tolerate uniform or the food though.

Is there a reason you are looking at M and S? My dd is 14 and would not shop there other than bras...

I don’t think you’ll find a whole lot in Marks fashion and beauty ranges that will appeal to many teenagers.

If you’re looking for a pallet in that price range Revolution have some nice ones, very popular with teens. Also look at NYX (Boots, Debenhams).

It might be worth starting a thread in the Christmas topic for some ideas. Posters can come up with all sorts that wouldn’t have occurred to you if you give some details of their interests.

It’s nice but a bit old fashioned. I wouldn’t think so.

Just wanted to to take advantage of the 20% off at the moment! I’ll restrict the grown up presents to M&S and look elsewhere for the teenagers - thanks for the advice! Mine are still pre-teen and I’m not into make-up or jewellery myself.

I would avoid M&S like the plague for teens.

If you want makeup it's Kat Von D, Urban Decay, Jeffree Star, MAC, Benefit, NARS, NYX.....

If you want jewellery, I'd keep it small like a necklace with her name/first initial perhaps. I know a few teens who wear these 24/7. Don't know if it's a thing though.

Didn’t realise there was a Christmas topic, I’ll try there, thanks.

Glad you’ve taken the advice. No 14yo I know would use either of those. things.

@SuperSue77 The necklace would be a bit old in my opinion (although it’s lovely and grown up) and I think the eye shadow would be lovely Smile

My teenagers love Brandy Melville. They sell jewellery too.
