17 year old gf

[Eastwickwitch]

DS has a charming GF. It's a new relationship & I don't want to embarrass her but it would be nice to put something under the tree.
What do cool 17 year old like?

I have inflicted all sorts of classic fiction on my DS's lovely GF . She had never heard of most of it but really enjoyed 'Rebecca'.

But you would be better off finding out what she likes. Something from Top Shop or River Island - a necklace?

How much were you planning on spending? Does she wear make up? Something by benefit or soap and glory?

I have bought DS's girlfriend a necklace. It's so nice I keep thinking of keeping it for myself and getting her something else!

Thanks for the replies.
She seems a girly girl, Benefit sounds a good idea. I thought about £12, hope that doesn't make me look stingy.

Can I just say how lovely you all are! Whatever you get I am sure she will be touched at your thoughtfulness.

My teenagers always want spare headphones. The in-ear ones like Gummy are colourful and about seven to ten quid. Asda sell them so they must be easy to find in other shops.

I don't think that's stingy at all. I'm sure she'll be touched that you thought of her.

I'd go with Benefit I think.

Benefit is quite pricey.

Soap and glory might be better. Whatever you get it's really kind of you

Thanks so much.
I've spotted some 'They're real' mascara that looks good.

That's what I use. I would be really pleased with that for a gift (although I'm a bit older than 17!)

Boots were doing tiny Benefit sets with a couple of minis in for just under a tenner. One of those would be perfect, as she'd get to try out two or three products.

How confident is she in herself? She may take make-up gift as a hint that she doesn't wear enough / look good enough for your DS! Or that could just be me recalling what I was like at 17!

I would go for headphones I idea

Body shop had something similar to the benetint stuff in a cool bottle that looked like a face. That was much cheaper.
maybe some nice chocolates? That's always a safe (ish) bet!
she will just be pleased you have made an effort

She definitely wears makeup, although doesn't need it as she's absolutely gorgeous. I understand your thinking but something generic like mascara couldn't cause offence.
Like the headphones idea too.

there were some make up brushes on amazon black friday deals today...real techniques or something? think they were £10 and are normally around £20 - £30. ive seen people raving about them somewhere.

nice pressie if she likes make up. its a lovely idea to get her something too aww!

I have been told its top shop or lush that are likely winning 'brands' at this age. Lush have some gorgeous gift sets.
