To those of you with 14yo dd's - what have you got them?

[witchinthewindows]

I am the queen of disorganised at Christmas and am still trying to think of what to get dd! She has in my opinion, everything she needs, and hasn't asked for anything over the top, as she knows we can't afford what she really wants, ie macbook laptop or Xbox. She has a laptop anyhow and a playstation but they are very old. I suggested clothes from Superdry but she said they would be too expensive. She does like to open a lot of 'bits' too. Grr silly me but hoping someone might have an idea I haven't thought of. Thanks in advance.

Thanks - I think it's a matter of braving town tomorrow.

My dds are 13 and 15 and between them are getting such things as:

A Wii karaoke game and microphones
A Wii dance game
The new Prof Layton ds game
knickers and socks
Funky tights
Muji notebooks
Pens
Silly badges from HMV
Posters
Chocolate
Body spray, bubble bath etc
A jumper each
Sewing stuff
Painting stuff
Speakers for i-pod shuffle
Couple of DVDs plus popcorn
Bits from Paperchase

This is really fabulous, thank you all again. I'm going to ask on another thread what to get dp next! I know, I know, I'm the first to admit that I am sooooo badly organised when it comes to pressies.

my dd was 14 yesterday,for christmas weve got her
the inbetweeners dvd boxset
minature designer perfumes
ugg boots
scarf,gloves
jeggins
superdry hoody
superdry lumberjack shirt
superdry tshirts
s initial from anthropologie for her bedroom wall.
these were things she asked for so it was easy for me.

What the flip are the Inbetweeners?

Right. lad my 15 year old hasn't come across it then!

Glad

What about the suggestion of a shopping trip in the sales? I'm not 14 (thank goodness) but this is what MIL does for me each Xmas. It means I get a new coat or a fab pair of boots at a fraction of the normal price and we both get a fun shopping trip.

Republic pj's, body shop strawberry wash bag,thick tights, wooly skirt, etnies, asos has superdry on offer, got t.shirt and hoody.

republic has hoodys, joggers and tops on offer s for £70 as well, also getting mine boots but in the sale.

Lip gloss, nail varnish packs, professer laytons new ds game, jaqueline wilson new book, horse magazine, next has some lovely furry socks

I got lovely thick cable knit over the knee socks in the Gap sale today for them - for wearing peeping out of biker boots.

My DD is 13 and has desperately wanted a blackberry for months so got her that.

Also PJ's, pandora charms, dvds, cds, make up, perfume, smellies, clothes and sweets.

Oh and we bought an IPad as a family present, but will let DD open it. She wants one but didnt ask for one as it was too expensive - cant wait to see her face

I have been surprised at the large bnumbe rof year 6s who watch Inbetweeners.

Very in with the young teens here.

you say superdry but she says its to expensive, ive asked for superdry earmuffs (no im not a teenager anymore but i loved them) think they were £16? just an idea, all the teenagers near us wear earmuffs and the odd 28 year old

How about Hollister as an alternative to Superdry?

Dd (14) is getting an iPad, digital slr camera ( photography gcse student), the soap & glory tote currently on offer, and a military style jacket (gorgeous 100% wool from primarni which she's seen and adores). She didn't actually ask for anything and will be blown away this year as she's getting much more than usual but she's working brilliantly at school a d we want to reward/ encourage her.

I meant to get dd2 some wellies and haven't got around to it.

I must admit when I read how many gadgets etc some teens get, I wonder if my dds are actually convinced that have horrible, mean parents!

My dds don't like Pandora bracelets and I wouldn't pay anywhere near that much anyway - see I AM mean! :)

Oh and I think that your bag of crap is a great idea - wish I'd thought of it!

Dd1 is 13 and is getting ...

Ipod Touch
Paul's Boutique Hoody and Purse (vile but hey ho)
CSI game
Pineapple pj's
Perfume
The Wanted calendar
Miranda dvd
Slipper boots
Fluffy socks
Umbrella
Where's Stig book

I have just finnished wrapping it all, and was dismayed at how a huge pile of pressies in carrier bags can look so small once wrapped and in a pile lol.

Yes - it's terrifying.

I got all of their presents out last night to do a stock-check and they look like nothing at all but have cost nearly 200 pounds between the two of them. [cpnfused]
