Any ideas? Quite a few restrictions.. would rather avoid sweets/chocolate as she's just got braces, no make up but skin care would be good, budget of about £20, no other particular interests that would be relevant. Oh and she's not allowed candles in her room so no candles.

Body shop?

Smiggle?

DangerousMouse · 13/10/2018 17:26

Thank you, Body shop is too expensive and smuggle is too young! Arrh I can't believe the amount of time I've spent on this, might be easier to cave in and up my budget, maybe get the M&S one for her.

Boots, superdrug and m&s do beauty ones!

Mipe · 13/10/2018 17:39

I am doing my own (using one from Amazon with little envelopes on a string) and putting in bits of stationery (pencils, rubbers, book marks etc) but you could add bits of jewellery, travel sized skincare products or anything else she likes Smile

Braclet one?

I bought myself a Smiggle one last year Grin

Make your own seems the better option, get lots of travel sized beauty stuff to fill yourself along with a few different bits and bobs, even if it's an IOU a take away or tonight is movie night at home.

I'm doing this for my DD (16) I'm collecting various make-up/shampoo/bodycare bits then putting them in clear bags lined with tissue and a ribbon with a number tag.

The M&S one is usually £35 with a purchase of £35 on homewear/fashion but I don't think my DD would use half the products (and she uses only Cruelty Free ,which most brands in M&S are but I'd need to double check everything)

The BodyShop one might be your best bet in the long run, I'll be flipping bankrupt after doing this for DD !

Avon have got one for £10 which is for 12 charms for a necklace and 12 pairs of earrings. It looks nice; obviously only costume jewellery but not bad at ll.

Next do a beauty one for £25.
