Early buying for hard to buy teens

[Towelonthedoor]

I've been inspired by the bargain threads. I am looking for ideas for my daughter who turns 13 on Boxing Day. Super hard to buy Christmas and birthday gifts so close together. I know we have some super bargain hunters on here. Love the Harry Potter snicket bracelet x

What about an experience rather than a gift? I'm buying my teen nephew and nieces vouchers for scuba diving that I found on Groupon.

I usually leave my teen dds gifts till last to buy. I wait until she writes a list and just pick from that although I know this year she wants an iPhone (that won't happen but as her birthday is 2 weeks after Christmas it may be a cash present this year to be put towards it). I tend to buy little bits for her bedroom from either primark or new look.

DD will be 14 by Christmas this year. .. I pick up bits for her bedroom (light box, letter board, cool lights), stationery, clothing (jack wills, topshop etc), underwear, perfume, toiletries, bath bombs, anything Harry Potter etc when I see a bargain for tree presents and stocking. I leave her main gift and any vouchers until December.
Concert tickets are always popular too!

Amazon have a golden snitch fidget spinner!

I have a DS13, and struggled for his birthday this year because he has EVERYTHING!
I've decided this year I'm making most of my gifts! So I'm doing him an activity box, it will contain an envelope for each month with an activity we can do together, a mixture of stuff he loves, hasn't done before, stuff that costs money and stuff that is free.
I've also just ordered a load of knitting stuff, and I'm going to make him a Harry Potter scarf, going to make this for some family who also love Harry Potter too ...
He appreciates stuff that is thoughtful, so knowing I've spent my train journey too and from work for 4 months knitting a bloody scarf will mean a lot to him! I have never knitted before so I'm hoping this goes well 😂😂😂

Wowcher have air pods for 19.99 just now, they are Apple compatable although not the actual,Apple brand. For my nieces ( 10, 14, 15) i make an advent up with things that make up the total coat of present so things like make up, makeup brusbes, showergel, bathbombs, christmas craft from the works, hair stuff etc. They really like it and then get a main present on christmas day.
