Gifts for under 16s appeal- any ideas?

Hello

I'm buying some gifts for our local Salvation Army appeal. The only guidance is that they should be suitable for someone any age under 16 and must be able to fit in a shopping bag.

Any ideas what would be appreciated? I'm guessing most people buy for younger kids so maybe something for a teenager would be a good idea.

Make up sets
Body spray sets
Primark vouchers wrapped in socks
Notebooks and pens - maybe adult style colouring books
Grow your own plant / bonsai kits
Crystal picture making sets / diamond art things
Knitting kits
Fluffy / funny slippers
Bath bombs

Thank you.

I like the idea of a make up set very much. Maybe a Morphe pallet? If anyone can give me any guidance on what teenage girls like I'd be really grateful- we live in a diverse area so it needs to be something that suits everyone.
