What gifts went down well with 12/13 year old girls?

[Lalallama]

It's DD's birthday this week and we still haven't got her any presents! So difficult immediately after Christmas. I know kids are all into quite different things at this age but would anyone like to share what their DDs (or DSs) received that they really liked this year?

Things that DD received and liked were mainly stationery, small storage (to keep stationery in!), a BSL book and art stuff.

She's not into make up or toiletry type things and doesn't do any sports. She's being assessed for ASD and gets anxious in crowds so things like theatre tickets or experiences probably won't work.

Any ideas!

Learn to draw manga, etc is a good call, think she'd like that. Also new duvet cover is an idea.

Prismacolour pencils or chameleon pens

Fountain pen and pyrography set also great ideas. Thanks so much to you all, this has helped so much, I was totally stumped for ideas before.

Second the bubble tea kit!
Drawing tablet if budget allows.
Purse/ crossbody bag.

Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser, or similar? Air drying clay and paints, Lego? There are some pretty botanical lego sets at the moment.

My DD (11 in 2 weeks) loves all the above. PJs, blanket, boot slippers, posh chocolates, series of books, Kindle...

Bluetooth shower speaker. Led lights for her room, also bluetooth and dance to music. Skin care fridge!!!! Who knew

Salt lamps definitely, someone gave an ASOS voucher which she loved and chose jewellery, I got stuff in the sale at Typo which. It’s my daughters seem to love but I only found our existed last year!

Mine loved : bubble tea kit, new school bag ( upgrade from a backpack), Nail art kit, arianna grande perfume, books ( girl missing trilogy), new look vouchers, lush bath bombs, cute shelving units for her wall, fleece hoodie from dunelm, phone cases

A Bluetooth headphone beanie hat, like a normal winter hat but has one headphone built in fromAmazon

Remote control led tealights that change colour from Amazon.

Remote control and app controlled govee led strip lights that stick round a peg board from Amazon .

Teddy bedding (it’s everywhere, asda, dunelm)

OHS had a heated oodie

I’ve got one after Christmas and have exactly the same problem. TK maxx normally has some sort of phone holder, lights / gadgetry I get.

This websites great cottonon.com/UK/typo-home/
As is tiger stores.
What about any of the baked in cooking boxes? Like mug cakes, cinnamon buns etc.

Doc Marten boots?

My 12.5 year old is dreaming of finally being able to get some but it is rushing her forever to save up.

My DD is slightly younger but we got her a pyrography set as a more 'grown up' craft item and she's enjoyed it, but may be a little on the young side for.

I do pyrography and DD11 has started using mine, it really makes a change as a different type of craft for them. Wish I'd had one when I was 11!

Great thread and perfect timing as I was looking for ideas for late Christmas presents for my fab 12 year old niece. She is not into really girly stuff and is quite particular about clothes so didn’t want to get her anything in that area.

She’s into anime stuff so I’ve been down a rabbit hole on Amazon and got her a book on how to draw anime faces, an anime character lamp that changes colour and a mixed box of Japanese sweets.

Really hope she likes them all. She’s so fab and cool but quiet and shy.

@Peridot1 blippo website is really good if you have time for delivery.

Thanks @EvilPea - I’ll have a look. I’m taking Ireland and leave on Tuesday so might not for this time. But maybe birthday.

DD was 12 just before Christmas and she loved her Doc Martin boots with silver stars on them (unfortunately they don't do them in my size) also watercolour brush pens were a big hit as we're an oodie and marvel throw from primark.

Big book of fortune telling very well received, as well as fairy lights, earrings, and cushions.

Only just had a chance to check back on this thread again - thank you so much for all the suggestions, you've all been so helpful.

Waffle maker was a hit for my 11 year old. And an Amazon fit watch which looks a lot more £££ than it was (£25)

Throw throw burrito

Caseify case for her iPhone, I thought they were a total waste of money but now it’s arrived I can see that the quality is brilliant.

Dd loves her instax camera and her Bluetooth speaker alarm clock. She was very excited about her soda stream but put it in the utility room and forgot about it

Wreck it journal was a big hit at Christmas for 12 year old girl.

DD almost 12.
Mini printer that prints from her phone. String lights with with little pegs for photos.
Decent stylus for her ipad.
Cuddly Death (Halloween squish mallow!)

Oh and a book about crystals, she was really happy with that. Her and her friends are really in to crystals.

Can people please recommend where to buy the oodie from? Thanks
