Ideas for presents for 15yo trans DD

Bear with me Cos this is a difficult one!

Our 15yo has recently come out as trans (Male to female). And I am completely stuck on what to get her for Christmas.

She has started to take an interest in things like makeup, she likes certain body shop products and hoodies but only sort of statement ones that send out a message of some type. Her younger sister has already asked if she can buy her some bits of makeup so that's covered.

She is still very sensitive about the whole thing and I'm not sure if buying "girly" things would cause upset but I know that buying "boy" things (lynx, anything that says boy/man) would cause even more upset!

I've asked what she would like and she shrugs and says I don't know.

I know it's a long shot but does anyone have any ideas of something really lovely I could get her that won't offend or be awkward?? I just feel at a loss!

Just an update for anyone who is interested.

She loved her eyeshadow palette, brushes and necklace. I also got a daughter key ring that says you are stronger than you imagine and loved more than you know. Plus a few other bits.

She was very nervous about spending time with grandparents but I fully prepped them a little while ago and they all did their best to embrace her and use the right pronouns etc. She even fell asleep on her grandmas shoulder on Boxing Day (who she has always felt a bit uncomfortable around as she is step-grandma).

All in all a very successful Christmas and thank you so much for all the support and suggestions!
