What are your teenagers wanting for Christmas

I'm looking for inspiration for my 14 (nearly 15) year old daughter as I have no idea what to get her for Christmas. She has plenty of gadgets, clothes, make-up, books. It's hard to thrill her these days - beyond another puppy, but that's definitely not happening! 😆 What are your teens excited about this year? Thank you for any ideas.

One twin teen has asked for new airpods, the other isn't bothered about 'stuff'! Looks like it will be cash for both and they can choice what to spend it on. Not very exciting I know. Having said that they do enjoy I night in a hotel and a girlie shopping trip. Concert tickets for Harry Styles would definitely be top of their list as well.

wonderingwhatsnext · 10/10/2022 16:18

DD (15) has asked for (and only because I asked what she wanted) salt lamp, Victoria's secret body spray, books and a Vivienne Westwood necklace.

SingingSands · 10/10/2022 16:19

DS wants an electric scooter! I suggested he literally get on his bike.

cantcope88 · 10/10/2022 16:20

I'm in the same boat and my DD turns 15 Christmas time also! She has asked for a long mirror and an electric toothbrush and a Colin the caterpillar birthday cake lol . She has all the gadgets etc the magic has disappeared this year.

AlternativelyWired · 10/10/2022 16:22

Money. Not much to wrap or open 😔

Mammed · 10/10/2022 16:23

DD wants a North Face coat, Nike pro leggings & shorts, trainers and a tracksuit.
I think she's hit her "chav" phase. 😅

AlternativelyWired · 10/10/2022 16:26

@Mammed 🙈 Air Force 1 trainers too?

Eleusa · 10/10/2022 16:27

I have two teen DC both with December birthdays so am always desperate for ideas. This year, a combination of things they have asked for and ideas of mine:

Airpods
Electric guitar
Signed football shirt
Earrings
Necklace
Lizzo tickets (or Taylor if she announces a tour, fingers crossed)
Trainers
Make up
Framed album print from this company sohoprintclub.co.uk/products/playboi-carti-whole-lotta-red-polaroid-style-framed-poster-print
Pot plants
Clothes- cashmere V neck, big Guernsey jumper, Nike hoodie (covering all bases here 😂)

The snobbery is strong with this one

Sounds like my niece. Although she says primark leggings are better quality than nike ones. So my sister jow just buys primark ones and presses the nike logo on 😂

Mammed · 10/10/2022 16:32

@hotdiggetydog - Oh bore off.

The bane of my life 😅

Eatglass · 10/10/2022 16:47

So disorganised so following. Fingers crossed for Taylor tour because that's my only idea so far!

Horrendous snooty attitude where?

MrsCarson · 10/10/2022 18:06

I've a girl 17 nearly 18 and she hasn't a clue what she wants.
Christmas is quickly followed by her birthday so I'm up that creek without a paddle when it comes to presents for her.
Maybe a laptop for Uni next Sept for her birthday? No idea.

Or your just dull and lazely trying to derail a happy/helpful thread and the rest of us are bored by it.

Go clutch your pearls and start faux drama elsewhere.

Emanresu9 · 10/10/2022 18:33

@hotdiggetydog oh DFU dear…

Savingpeoplehuntingthings · 10/10/2022 18:34

Dd_14 has asked for a one man tent for camping with explorers 😂
Also art supplies and a trip to Affleck Palace for clothes.

megletthesecond · 10/10/2022 18:36

Last year both my teens had proper white towelling dressing gowns. They bloody love swanning around in them after a shower 😁. You could do a lot worse than buying one and getting their initials embroidered on it. Can't break it, lose it or grow out of it.

poorbuthappy · 10/10/2022 18:38

Christ we're all holding out for Taylor tickets!!!

WhatsAVideo · 10/10/2022 18:41

DD14 has so far asked for

  • Manga (a long list of!)
  • Beatz Flex (we’ve all long since affected that we would lose AirPods within days, if not hours)
  • “Witchy vibe stuff”

Tell me more! Two DDs in leggings here - are these iron on Nike ticks?!

my 14 yo just got her Christmas present - a new (I mean second hand refurbished!) phone as her front facing camera has broken & life isn’t worth living without one.

so that’s her done!
