What were the fav presents for your teens?

[CornishGem1975]

Selfishly crowdsourcing - need to buy some presents for my teens. Would love to know what presents were a hit with your teens?

Mine loved their oversized hoodies the most!

A mini fridge stocked with booze and Monsters. (He's 18!) Plus a neon-effect sign saying BAR to go on the top.

We did some trips out which were presents (theatre, Christmas markets and an art exhibition) and 14yr old DD loved them all. She also loves her slippers, art supplies and books. Oh and a light up duck.

Lakeland heated poncho.
Great for 14-yr old DS at his computer. He loves it.

16 year old DD loved her heated blanket best

17 and 19 year old loved their retro boot skates, also ear buds and heated fleeces went down well

We Bare Bears Plushie

Urban Outfitters gear

Make up

Everyone is Awesome Lego Set

Aldi hoodie!
Lego technic McLaren
Spicery set

Theatre tickets for between Christmas and new year (fingers crossed it will still be on)

Hot chocolate stirrers from Gnaw

Stationery

Chilly water bottle

My DD probably loved the hooded blanket, alcohol and Gucci Flora perfume most

DS would probably say his new tracksuit, beer selection and his nice water bottle

However biggest hit seemed to be the air fresheners for their cars - I had them made with a picture of our dog on each side and they absolutely loved them!

Clothes
Bubble tea kit

Towelling dressing gowns.

Turtle doves wrist warmers were a big hit for dd1 - recycled cashmere - pricey but very luxurious.

We found out the secret to that set is blu-tac, especially for the roof on each 'side'

DD 15 loved:
Mickey Snuddie
Silk pillowcase
Mk watch
She also loves her new iPhone but what teen wouldn’t.

DS 14 - trainers, DD aged 12 liked the fake Oodie best. SIL got them ice cream sundae glasses which they also loved.

DD (19)
I do a Beauty Advent Calendar for her (this is my fourth year doing this ) I start looking for fillers in October .
(Yes a pre bought one would be easier but even the ethical ones like Holland&Barrett aren't things she'd use . And she doesn't really wear make-up , she has enough anyway)

Gloves ( I bought her Urban Outfitters ones )
Coat (Superdry puffer , recycled bottles used in the filling and I checked she liked it first )

DS -(22) money . He likes to save , doesn't like "things" for the sake of it .
Shaving items , men's grooming , money in his account

Dec 1st Box was for underwear (branded ) loungwear , pyjamas , socks .

Stocking fillers that went down particularly well

Ds 17 really liked his waffle maker (main present)
Also liked cash
Liked his cat socks from Socksmith

Stitch socks from Primark and a mini colouring book and pencils from WHSmith.

Niece 18 said her boba tea kit was a very cool present so that was a success

DD15 loved :

Swirly Moroccan lamp she asked for.
Too Faced makeup kit

Next Alien rip off perfume
Earphones for her mobby cant remember make .
A copy of Handmaiden's Tale book.

Mini fridge

Threads like these always puzzle me as surely teens' are not a homogenous species and one person's favourite present might be a nightmare for someone else?

However, for the record DS's fave present was a coffee machine.
DD's fave present was very personal to her and unlikely to be helpful as a general present idea.

Gaming vouchers
Trainers
