I'm hosting my cousin and her family this Christmas. I would like to get the kids some nice Christmas presents but unfortunately, I don't see them often so don't know much about what they like. (Also, I'm crap at giving presents).

I was thinking that the safest bet might be an Amazon vouchers for each child but in addition I would like to get them a few things to open as well on the day. I'd love some ideas on what kids of that age like in general. I've asked my cousin buy she just says not to worry and not ti get anything.

A few pointers: budget is between £30 -£50 (excluding the voucher). If there's something more expensive do mention it though please.

17 year old girl: My cousin has previously mentioned that her daughter hates getting clothes gifted. And I remember a couple of years ago she said that her daughter likes to take her toiletries and cosmetics . So I don't want to give her make up but maybe some nice moisturisers or something like that?

13 year old boy: he used to love Lego till fairly recently and I remember even last year he enjoyed any sort of building kit. He also likes gaming though I'm not sure what games he's into.

I'd be very grateful for any ideas!!

Battery operated hot water bottle or silk pillow, both huge favourites here for that age group of girl.
Don’t have any boys so no help there I’m afraid
although the hoodie/ oodie style top is always a hit for both genders
