what have you bought your 16yr old DD?

[UniBallEye]

Dd is a really good kid and never asks for anything in particular. She's always really grateful for anything she gets and usually I listen really carefully in the months leading up to Christmas for anything she might mention in passing etc

This year we're a little stumped.

She has a phone / airpods (previous 2 years presents) and she got a laptop earlier in the year for remote school work.

She's not into gaming or crafting or cosplay etc

So far I have a silver locket and some makeup but I am hoping for some ideas for other presents.

She doesn't get many other presents at all (maybe 3 token things from family and that's it)

It's been such a time for them (and the rest of us) we'd like to spoil her a little...

All ideas welcome

Well done Op. I set up a similar thread a while back and I'm still on the panic nightmare stage!! So far I have a puffer coat and a possible joint experience with a friend (no idea what but we are presenting it to them for them to plan and work out!!). Neither are making me go wow yet!!

Sorry to hijack but @Twolostsoulsswimminginafishbow where did you buy the Japanese stuff from? I also have an anime/Japanese culture obsessed son and would love to get him a few things as stocking fillers really but struggling to find anywhere that sells it

Not the person you asked (I'm interested to see their sources too!), but check out tofucute.com

thanks @Innocenta that's a great website!

A running machine, fit bit and new air pods.
In previous years a laptop (for school mainly)
Subscriptions
Plants for her rooms - hanging and suspension plants etc
Painting of her beloved dog
Pandora ring

Concert tickets to three fav bands
Turkish glass lamp
Voucher for day shopping and posh lunch on me
Spa day

Asian cook book is a good idea @UniBallEye.
My DD is getting:
Samsung S21
Maze Runner box set books. (She usually gets an imported manga box set, ie Death Note or Tokyo Ghool but the one she wants this year isn't translated into English yet)
Wall tapestry
Bailey's candle and hot chocolate gift sets
Moschino perfume (in a bottle shaped like a gummy bear)
Previously she's had art supplies, sheet music books.
What about a supermarket junior driving experience?

I would say the best present we bought DD17 was her oodie, she lives in it. Also loves fluffy blankets.
She asked for some Demonia platform boots for xmas...she's going to tower over me. Also got her:
Patterned tights
Hoody (can never have enough big baggy ones)
Cargo trousers
Belt chain
Chocolate bombs
Earrings.

Mine is just 17. All she has asked for is converse, vans and an Xbox game.

I've also got her a fire stick as she has tv in her room but only used for Xbox and Netflix as we can't connect it to a box or aerial plus subscription Disney plus as she loves all the marvel stuff on there.

She's a trainee chef so I've got a few little cooking related gifts, spice selections, couple of coveted recipe books and a cheeseboard (she asks for a cheeseboard every year).

The 12 year old on the other hand has filled an a4 page with her list. Top of her list is a bass guitar and an amp as she is learning at school.
