HELP! What can I buy them?

Boy only interested in anything screen related. No interest in clothes, sport or music.

Girl mildly interested in fashion and beauty. A few months off 17 so could get a Young Drivers lesson but is it worth it if “proper” lessons soon?

Girl - one of the Benefit Christmas gift sets? John Lewis have them on offer at the moment.
Bag? Purse? Necklace? Fairy lights? Hair straighteners/dryer? Perfume?

Both - voucher for coffee shop / Wagamamas or something similar

Him:
Headphones/speakers
Powerbank for phone
Trainers
Hoodie
The new PlayStation Classic

One or two of the above plus toiletries and a stocking. I like the coffee/food voucher idea.

Her:
Hair curling wand
Make up lesson/voucher for nails to be done
Urban Decay pallette
Makeup organiser/storage
Loungewear

I would definately go for the Young Driver lessons , they're usually done in a car park (shopping centres here) and there are maybe 5-6 cars going. Gives them a chance to drive and cintrol without worrying about other drivers on the road.
And the Instructors we've had are excellent .

My DD is 16yo, likes phone covers , clothes, make-up.

Maybe pay for 12 months of Free Delivery for her favourite online shop (IIRC it was £10 for Pretty Little Things , next day delivery)

I have no idea about girls.

Boy - is he a PC or console gamer? If the former then new gaming mouse mat/headphone stand (this is really cheap usually so a good extra), voucher for steam. If console then headphone stand still applies and you would get either Playstation or Xbox points rather than steam voucher.

Poster/t-shirt featuring his favourite game?
USB powered desk fan
A 100 games bucket list scratch off poster
1001 games to play before you die book

Honestly, if you DD is nearly 17, i don't think i'd bother with a young drivers lesson, why not just order in her drivers licence instead?

DD1 and DS1 are 17 and 15. We have got tickets to go and see a band we all like.

Make up and ‘Lynx’ kits are a big fail in this house but last year we got DS a Cornerstone shaving box and he really appreciated it and has now asked for a subscription. I’m thinking of getting similar for DD - FFS I think it’s called?

Otherwise their stockings will include power bank, headphones, cables, book, iTunes/Amazon/music voucher, DVD, PJs, chocolate coins, a toothbrush and toothpaste (tradition)!!

Oh and DS has an XBox360 so my brother gets him 6mths Gold for birthdays and Christmas each year which is always a hit, along with the Steam vouchers a PP mentioned
