What's everyone getting their teen girls?

Looking for ideas for a 12 and a 15 year old.
Both like makeup, but own no 'cool' brands (and I wouldn't know what these were!).
Again with clothes. They're not very fussy,. Will happily wear Asda/matalan etc but I'd like to treat them so something more special.
Any recommendations for a teen friendly subscription box?
Any gadgets ( a sproket has been mentioned). Dd2 needs a new phone so might go down that route.
They both enjoy reading so will be getting a good selection of new boots.
We usually do a family board game. I've been thinking about Catalan or Ticket to ride, but not sure where to start.
They both enjoy crafts and arty stuff. So I guess I can bulk it all out with some new paints and bits. I'm just stuck. Neither need anything and not have they asked for anything, despite being prompted numerous times.
Thank you :)

12 year old DD here

So far she talked about the Little Mix make up set, sloth adoption, more notebooks and pens, calendar, tickets to see The Mousetrap, Harry Potter stuff and a new purse.

FoxInABox · 08/11/2019 17:58

12 yo DD has asked for:
Nike 270s trainers
Pink Victoria Secret sprays, leggings & hoody
Air pods or similar

ArabellaPilkington · 09/11/2019 07:42

13 yo DD likes most of the stuff in Urban Outfitters. She's after a blanket at the moment.

She likes fleecy fluffy stuff.

And face masks, esp Korean/Chinese ones. Face scrubs and washes.

Doesn't wear make up.

Loves animals and is environmentally conscious so palm oil free chocolate only. (Divine good for milk chocolate).

Ithinkwerealonenowtiffany · 09/11/2019 09:11

My 15 year old has the strip lights and it looks great! Im also struggling buy so far this is what im giving:

DD15
Cash, Clinique introduction gift set, face masks, Joma bracelet (loves them), couple of bottles of perfume (Next ones), ........ haven’t quite finished yet

DD17
cash, Clinique gift set, Next perfume (set of 5 bottles), brow pencils (only makeup she wears), ....... stuck for ideas!

mamabluestar · 09/11/2019 09:52

This is such a good post. I'm really struggling for DD(almost 12). She's not really into brands or make up yet and doesn't want or need for anything. I might go down the path of Ticketmaster vouchers so that when something comes up she wants to see we can book it.

Trewser · 09/11/2019 10:17

11 is hugely different to 13! My dds still wanted pony stuff and lego at 11!

ReadyPayerTwo · 09/11/2019 10:26

Reading with interest as my DD12 is asking for these (as Billie Eilish's brother says their the best)!

ReadyPayerTwo · 09/11/2019 10:30

@mamabluestar IME I'd think twice about Ticketmaster vouchers as they seem to be set up to offload all the less desirable seats.

When I recently bought tickets for a big arena gig, the actual venue's booking line had amazing seats compared to Ticketmaster.

ArabellaPilkington · 09/11/2019 10:33

I should've said her main present is a surprise trip to a European city in the Easter holidays with me, her two closest friends and their mums. Smile

iamabox · 09/11/2019 10:36

DD 13, so far...
Air pods
iPhone charging dock

iamabox · 09/11/2019 10:38

Oh, and cash, shopping vouchers.

iamabox · 09/11/2019 10:39

Bollocks ..keep posting to soon.....
Adult colouring books, and lots of little sticking fillers and chocolate....

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 09/11/2019 10:43

Arabella check the background of the Chinese facemasks if your DD is environmental/animal friendly .
China has compulsary animal testing .

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 09/11/2019 10:45

I got my DD a Sponsership for a CPL Cat .
We have two cats from CPL at home , so it's nearer her heart that a dolphin or tiger

ArabellaPilkington · 09/11/2019 10:59

Thank you 70 - that's awful Sad

I've only bought her a Korean one so far but will double check now

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 09/11/2019 11:08

I got a Korean sponge (Konjac sponge) with the Leaping Bunny sign on the packaging .

(They are brilliant BTW - gentle exfolliant , you can use alone or with cleanser . Hang up by the loop and they dry out so no smelly sponge smell. They last maybe 3 months . My DS uses one with Carbon Therapy soap)

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 09/11/2019 11:35

Op I've got the canvas via oneclickprint, they've got a sale on at the minute, they said the delivery costs are high 🙄

Still to get are
Make up
