Ideas for 13 year old girl

[starrynight21]

My granddaughter is 13 , she is autistic and a little "younger" than an average 13 yr old I think. She doesn't like anything sporty , and although she reads a lot , books are out ( she reads graphic novels but has so many, it would be taking coals to Newcastle). She does love technology but I think she's got everything she'd ever need in that department.

Are there any trendy things that kids of this age are really wanting this year ? I'd love to find something which would be very desirable . I remember at that age, it was always so wonderful to have "the next big thing" and I'd love to get her something like that. Any ideas ?

Airup water bottle
Oversized hoodie
Airpods case
Instax mini camera
Lush snow fairy shower and body duo
Posca pens
Remote control colour-changing LED lights
Hollywood mirror
Pictionary Air
Dr PAWPAW lip gloss

I can't help but would be very interested in recommendations of graphic novels for that age group! (My DS is slightly younger.)

Does she like lego?

@ADecadeAndAHalf My DD13 is really into Spy X Family and New Game! manga graphic novels. I hear that The Promsed Neverland is also really popular. Probably more for girls though.

If you have a manga/anime loving child then a Crunchyroll membership is a good option.

My daughter loves all things anime, biggest hit was her samsung tablet with pen so she could draw her own with Ibis x paint. Also loves her govee strip lights around her room and cost no more than a lightbulb to run. She has a hollywood mirror which is used daily, and instax camera which sadly doesnt get use now as its rubbish.

She wants a giant squishmallow for Christmas. Jumbo hair scrunchies from flat lay co., Air Up bottle (she wont be getting as they are rubbish), nike pro leggings are the current hot trend, anime merch (from aliexpress), chelsea peers pjs, makeup and FRIENDS lego.

Oh and an Oodie, definitely the top of her list!

She does, but like the books she has so much Lego already ! I've given it to her for the last few birthdays / Christmases so wanted to steer away from it now .

I have a 13 yr old so here goes 😬…depends on your budget

instax printer…connects to an iPhone so can take quality pics

clothing and shoes from urban outfitters/superdry/vans/and surprisingly Nike

pandora earrings/charms/rings

stuff from lush

anything to do with bubble tea 🤢

a comfy/oodie

she likes anything to do with hair so hair masks and frying it with straighteners which I hate

anything to make her room look nice

Top of my 13yo list this year is a northface puffer coat.

Thanks for all the great inspirations ! I'm doing my research on them and I'm sure to give her some nice surprises !

I've done some research and asked her Mum for the OK. I've ordered the remote-control led lights for her room, and a Lush gift pack. Many thanks for all the inspirations !

@starrynight21 They are lovely gifts, she wil be very happy with them I'm sure! And I didn't realise that LUSH had their Christmas gift sets out now, which was also on my list for my DD13 so a trip into town for a purchase is on the cards :)

Place marking! I also have an autistic 13 year old dd who sounds like the OP’s.
