Gift ideas for a horse and makeup loving teenage girl?

Is there anything specific that your teenage girls are currently loving?

Horse and makeup loving reasonably ‘typical teen’, no budget and an unfit mum who’s left this far too late.

Would love to know of any specific gems that I haven’t thought of!

No jewellery as she loses everything so the whole multiverse is happier as a result of my ‘only jewellery from SHEIN or Primark can be owned by this child’ rule, so that nobody cares when it’s lost after one wear. I wish I was kidding, but here we are….!

Horse riding trecks or pony camp, if she doesn't own own horse.
Jodhpurs, boots, lead ropes and head stall.
Lip gloss, tinted sunscreen.
Going to a day spa with you.

Gift ideas for a horse and makeup loving teenage girl?

Does she have her own horse? If so a new LeMieux saddle pad was always a favourite gift for DD! Other than that she was mad for Ariat/Le Mieux/Pikeur clothing.

Makeup wise:
Summer Fridays or Rhode lip balm (can also purchase phone case to go with this which many teens seem to have)
Dior lip glow oil
Maybe a nice body spray? St Bart’s by Ouai is lovely or there’s always Sol de Janeiro
SPF is always a good habit to start - DD wears Ultraviolette Future Fluid and it is amazing, really nice glowy tint so she doesn’t even need to wear foundation
Ilia limitless lash is a great natural mascara - very unique brush, DD loves it

If all else fails: Space NK voucher or a shopping spree at the local tack shop!

She does, so I have bought lots of matchy Le Mieux stuff but that’s about it. As it’s mostly clothing and practical stuff, it doesn’t feel like a proper present.

She has everything you listed already apart from Ouai so I will buy some of those, thank you!

I think that’s the root of my issue, she has everything already. Which leave me very limited on ideas and hoping someone might know of something I am yet to hear about.

To the lady who suggested a spa day - we have a membership at a spa (she has one too) so although this is a fab idea, it wouldn’t work either.

Le mieux & Aztec diamond seem to be the 'in' brands for teens on the yard currently (but prob worth checking as they're considered naff & snobby in some teen groups)

A forelock & fringe gift box subscription might be nice as she will get gifts every month for as long as the subscription lasts - they are mainly for horse owners though so if she's at a riding school she might end up with things she doesn't need.

Subscription box is a fab idea! Thanks so much

No not at riding school, has had her own ponies for years.

She’s got her own pony? These are awesome I’m after some for mine 😂.

Also as lots have said Le Mieux is the big one there doesn’t seem to be anything they don’t do now. Has she got (if allowed we’re not on my yard 🙄) a nice nameplate for her stable door.

Make up wise Glossier and Elf seem to be the big ones for teens at the moment.

Girl after my own heart!

Definitely wouldn't serve as a main gift, but you can make a cute calendar with photos of her horse, add interesting facts about horses or famous riders, maybe some inspiring words said by them. etc.
