What have you bought your teens?

[Letitsnow32]

Particularly 14 and 12 year old girls

Stocking has things like fluffy socks, knickers, chocolate, a can of Monster, Pez, nice pens, more nice pens, arm warmers, tub of Pringles, novelty rubber duck

All she asked for was the Squishmallow

My teen is 14yo DS. He has already had his main gift which was a joint birthday present (which was at the end of November) - cash contribution towards a gaming PC. The rest of his presents, to be honest, are smaller gifts or pretty functional just for the sake of having the same number of things to open as his sisters!
Mystery football shirt
LED strip lights
Crossbody bag for wallet and phone
Adidas jogger bottoms (that match the Jodie he already has)
Nike jogger bottoms
Selection of books

He's getting JD vouchers from both sets of grandparents as there a pair of trainers he's saving for.

For his birthday he also got FIFA game and an annual pass for a local them park.

Joining the Navy…how fab! Good for her!
