Help! Teenage DD. No presents

[ArthurChristmas2]

So, my lovely girl is just 15. My shopping is pretty much done apart from her. I have no presents whatsoever. She’s never asked for anything, ever. She’s not into brands. She has a phone, a laptop, kindle, new camera for birthday. She doesn’t really need any new clothes. She rarely wears jewellery. She does a lot of dance but we’ve either had to buy equipment as it was needed or she has regulation uniform. I am so clueless it’s frightening. Please hit me with your DD lists and ideas. Desperately seeking something to get her (I also have to get both sets of grandparents).

My dd is getting a pair of trainers she wanted, vinyls, dressing table organiser, slippers, socks, candles, wax melts, hanging photo organiser, belt.
I'm not sure what else to get her but I'll be watching this thread with interest.

My Dd is also always cold (thyroid and iron fine) and I got her a heated throw from Lakeland. I got the grey one which matches her bedroom.

Not sure what she'll think of it though as I also got one for her Granny.

Some great ideas here. My similarly aged DD has been on at me for ages to take her for a bubble tea, but haven't managed to. I had no idea you can get kits - she will love that!

If she is a dancer warm up booties for between classes.
Chilli bottle/flask.
Weighted blanket helps with anxiety.
Dressing table/chair.
Record player.
Headphones.
Zara loungewear set.
Lush box.

My DD's the same age. I think this year will be lots of little things. If she struggles to sleep try This Works pillow spray - I have bought their dream to sleep set for DD as she loves a bath.

Stationary is an (inherited) obsession so some nice notebooks and pens.
Bic Marking Permanent Markers - Assorted Intense/Pastel/Metallic Colours, Box of 24, Assorted Colours, 992731 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083MN9T4F/ref=cmswwrcppapifabccdlCqXnUFbKT5CSP9??encoding=UTF8&psc=1

LED lights for her bedroom.

Cushions and throws for her bed seeing.

Makeup brushes, coloured lip balms....

Skateboard...

Does she like hot chocolate? The teenagers in my life are all asking for the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser machine

[DrFoxtrot]

Following for ideas for my DDs - thanks everyone who is contributing!

[womanthatfelltoearth]

Chilli bottle also a great idea

Converse shoes (they have just started their Black Friday event)

[triceratops12]

One of those blankets with hoods
Hot chocolate spoons
Nice baking bits from Lakeland
Some fancy 'grown up smellies'

Adult colouring?
Those sheet face masks with Disney on them or something
Embroidery kit for clothes

[triceratops12]

Monthly baked in box?!


What is this? My dd would love this!

[tara66]

Browse the larger shopping TV channels?

[Lovemusic33]

Dd1 is similar, she’s 16 and not very girly, doesn’t need clothes etc..

She’s getting a ipad as a surprise, ipad pillow so she can use her iPad in bed, weighted blanket, pop tarts (because I never let her buy them) and a plush stitch from Disney store. Other than that she will be getting stocking fillers...bath bombs, socks, stress ball, sweets etc.

She hasn’t asked for anything, I might get her a few T-shirt’s to add to her pile but she’s not expecting a huge pile of presents as there’s nothing she really wants or needs other than the ipad.

[Mulhollandmagoo]

Yes to the Oodie idea!!!! And then just a few bits for her! Wax burner and melts, bath bombs etc. Some nice pjs. Does she have an electric toothbrush? I often think they make quite good gifts

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

My DD (18) has a weighted blanket and loves it

Any animals (live ones) would only be if she wants them and the whole family will care for once your teen leaves home .
And guinea-pigs are not designed for solitary living , you need 2 (or more)


I make a Beauty Advent Calendar for my DD (this will be year 3) it forms a part of her present list because it is £ , she uses only cruelty free .

She has her Dec 1st Hamper ( bathrobe , 3 pairs winter PJs , underwear sets , fluffy socks )

I got her a Vegan HotChocolate Bomb (Lakeland) its got the vegan marshmallows in it

Bakedin are really good, they send you a baking kit each months. They usually have offers on subscriptions for BLACKFRIDAY x

[mrsswayze]

It's tough isn't it? My ds is 14 and he hasn't asked for anything and I'm unwell sally stuck on what to get him. He said due to Covid he has no idea on what to get as he can't go anywhere and doesn't need anything.
I was think on getting stuff for his bike as he enjoys going cycling with friend but it's not exactly exciting is it?

[LucyLemons]

Soda stream
Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser
Popcorn maker (so so easy to use)
Amazon echo 10 - so the large screen one which actually is useful for a teen


We bought the above last year for our youngest teen and they were a hit

[mrsswayze]

• unusually stuck bloody autocorrect

[SoupDragon]

My nearly 15 year old DD is a big fan of a face mask.

If your DD is crafty, there are craft subscription boxes that have a different craft each time.

I bought DD a set of mug cake kits from Bakedin when she was feeling low.

[doistayordoigo]

Mt teen DS has asked for a picture by Displate, they seem to be metal wall displays that you attach to the wall with magnetic stickers?

Big hit in the past has been a slushy machine & syrups, it has got a surprising amount of use.

[choirmumoftwo]

My DD is now 18 and until this year has always been a nightmare to buy for as she never asks for anything. She does however love ballet and musical theatre so her main Christmas present for several years has been a weekend away for the two of us with show/ballet tickets included. It's been great to have that quality time together and we've seen some fabulous performances. More difficult to plan at the minute but you could give her an IOU?

[Coffeeandcrumpet]

If she is crafty and enjoys photography Google cricut joy, I bet she would have blast with one of these, you can make all sorts of stuff, use photos and personalise clothing etc.

[bendmeoverbackwards]

Some great ideas on here!

Embroidery t shirts kits sound fun, can anyone post a link please?

[PurpleFrames]

@bendmeoverbackwards There's several on Asos if you search for embroidery gift in the search bar- I don't think I can make a link work...
