Presents for 14 and 17 year old girls...

[Rainatnight]

Have just belatedly realise that we really ought to get something for NDN's daughters. NDN has been so sweet since our DD arrived this year and has given us a few presents at various milestones along the way.

I could play it safe and get them an Amazon gift card. Would around £20 each be ok?

Or any other ideas? I feel a bit out of touch with the yoof. I've passed on a few bits of make up and toiletries that I don't use and they've seemed to like those.

I think they would be really pleased with an Amazon gift card - at that age they like to choose their own things. Otherwise I would suggest some smelliest probably Soap and Glory or Jack Wills. Gift sets from Lush or Hotel Chocolat chocolates also go down well here.

Smellies not smelliest- bloody autocorrect

I knew what you meant . Thank you.

Amazon gift card would be very well received by dd(16). (In fact, cash is all she wants for Christmas.) I can’t comment on the £20 as it all depends on your personal situation, how well you know them etc etc.

Honestly, do you think it's a bit stingy? We could afford more, just didn't want to be OTT

I don't think it's at all stingy, £20 is a good amount. It says you appreciate them or your NDN, but isn't too much as to make them or NDN feel awkward or embarrassed by the gesture.

Fancy chocolates and £20 each sounds about right.

Lush is good for this age group. As is Victoria's Secret gifts - they do lots of nice things.

I'd second Victoria's Secret. My 14yo loves that stuff.

Thank you, Nearly, that's the balance I was looking to strike!

And thanks all.
