Thoughts on sunrise alarms for teens please

[Graphista]

Stumped what to get dd she is so hard to buy for and no asking her does not help!

Anyway, she struggles getting up for work is not a morning person at all.

Couple other threads had me thinking Sony cube but I think it's a bit old fashioned for her.

So I'm thinking something like:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07GB2MMK5/ref=mpssa113aait?ie=UTF8&qid=1542902616&sr=8-3&refinements=p76%3A419159031&keywords=lumie+alarm+clock&dpPl=1&dpID=31nuQhzv8BL&ref=plSrch

So what do we think?

Also any other ideas for a soon to be 18 yr old girl other than pyjamas etc gratefully received.

Honestly I've left things a little late - my mistake.

I'm housebound so it needs to be things I can order online, preferably Amazon as already got a load of items in basket and it's just easier, but will consider other well known retailers who deliver.

Anyone? Really need help with this

My dd has benefitted from hers, I think she might like it OP. And you could make it a bedtime theme with slippers/pjs , bath stuff and chocolate.

Yea I could... Just that's what I do most years I'd like to do something different but stuck for ideas... Maybe a "getting up in the morning" theme? No idea how I'd do that!

It depends what she’s into. I’d probably get something she can wear, , something she can use, something to eat etc etc.

Amazon have some lovely sterling silver Swarovski necklaces and earrings for reasonable prices.

My 18 year old son is having:

Trainers
Hair dryer
T-shirt
Jogging bottoms
Lynx set
CK one aftershave
Sterling silver ring (£42)

That light looks good, although I must admit I know nothing about them.

John Lewis have some good deals on makeup gift sets, if she's interested.

Will she be going to uni next year? Maybe a new backpack/bag filled with nice stationery etc?

What about a nice hot drinks mug, like Contigo cups?

Mrsdaz what ring did you buy your son please? That’s a really good idea

She's not going uni - already working full time. Unfortunately some issues at end of her schooling put her right off! (New broom head being a twat and not listening re issues due to dd having a disability).

I'm building quite a basket on Amazon.

Mostly birthday stuff (Feb but I have learned to be organised)

But also her favourite scent and a t-shirt. Do I go for the alarm clock?

Do John Lewis deliver?

She's a bit of a nightmare with jewellery a ring might be an idea but how to know what size tp get?

I bought DH a light clock as he has very odd work hours and he really likes it- I think that’s a lovely idea!

Does she have the amazon Dot? I've got one each for my older two ds's to use as an alarm clock. I also got the deal with the Alexa plug so they can turn on the lamp in their rooms without getting up (super lazy teens).

A getting up hamper/themed present could be a really nice present....

A sunrise alarm clock (we have a Luma and it’s fab) a zesty showergel, posh vitamin C chewy vitamins/sweeties a nice dressing gown daily planner? Morning green/lemon/ tea, loads of ideas!

I think that’s a really good present for a teen!!

Pop good ideas and thoughts guys.

She won a bonus at work so she's decided she's getting the Google version of the dot? Not my wheelhouse at all

Twitch is it the same clock you have or just same brand?

Cathpot - yes, dds shifts are odd too I can't keep track and so when she's on earlies after a series of lates she really struggles and I don't mean being lazy I mean too tired to hear alarm. But she also cannot sleep unless room pitch dark.

I think the sunrise alarm clock is a great idea. I have one & it works brilliantly. In fact I might get one for DS21 who's terrible at getting out of bed.

I love my sunrise clock, am planning to get my DCs the same when they hit year 10/11.

Love that idea, Twitch.

Graph ours is different and looking at it a little more expensive to buy (not that I’m sure there are any real big difference’s though) I quite often use it as a lamp at bed time too as of gives of a nice dewy light...

Yea as its a bit of a risk/surprise going with cheaper option. Mind if she don't like it I may Nick it!

I think the cheaper one looks a good choice for a teen. If you get it, please will you report back?

Absolutely - remind me after Xmas if needed - my memory appalling these days!

Mine too!

Hope she likes it.

Well big Amazon order done eek! It's only once a year I spend like that.

No idea what to get anyone else either. I don't have many to buy for, but the ones I do are awkward Sod's!

Limited in what they can do/use and what little can be purchased they're all ok financially so just get when they want - makes birthday & Xmas blooming difficult for everyone though. And no asking doesn't help cos all I get is "oh whatever I don't mind"

@gettingthereslowly1 it was just one from very.co.uk. A sterling silver diamond ring.

Pandora do some lovely ones and there’s loads on h Samuel and other places :-) x
