Presents for teenage girls

[Emmmmz9]

Two daughters aged 15 & 13.
No ‘big’ presents this year.
Looking more for ‘£10 to £50’ ideas please

Drunk Elephant skincare is not suitable for teenagers, apparently the actives in it are strongly geared towards anti aging and can damage young skin.

As a teenager all my daughter wanted wasbooks and music

It’s not, but they’re all obsessed with it. They mix it up in shops like a ‘smoothie’ and put it on as a concoction.

Some suggestions for that age group
My DDs are obsessed with bikinis so maybe get some of them as you can get a few for £50. I probably would also say some leggings

I've just bought these to put away for DD11 (will be 12 by Xmas).

Make up remover pads £3.50 at Tesco with a clubcard.

Heatless curlers £5 at Tesco with a clubcard.

I had my eye on some heatless curlers in Next for £10 but friends have given mixed reviews as to whether they actually work, so I'll not be to disappointed if they are a flop for £5.

@Comedycook do you have a link to the jewellery kit? Sounds like something my dd would like

interesting reading about so many teenagers being groomed and wearing makeup! Dd is turning 14 soon and wears no makeup and only washes the visible dirt with a flannel😃. It’s her bday in nov and she’s asked for books, beads and crochet stuff. Xmas will be more of the same.

@Passthecake30 sorry I am totally useless and don't know how to post a link...but if you search 'zeyan jewellery making kit " on Amazon it is the first one to come up...£17.99. Hope that helps!

Thanks @Comedycook

Jewellery-making kit

Here's the link! My daughter has this one and loves it. And if she has a friend round they always end up using it! It's great but I am forever picking up or hovering up those bastard little discs! 😆

Any ideas for Taylor Swift related gifts??

Sorry I can't do clicky links

@Namddf I’ve bought this for 12yo DD
Taylor Swift: The Whole Story https://amzn.eu/d/aAG1ptm

Tarte cosmestics go down well with mine, qvc normally do a tsv for about £50 but tartes own website has good sales, mini kits etc

https://tartecosmetics.com/EU/en_GB/home/?targetid=kwd-120705522&lid=43700034266107796&campaignid=648557691&mrkgadid=3294245327&acctid=21700000001506533&dskeywordid=43700034266107796&creative=642190263057&network=g&awsearchcpc=1&mrkgbflag=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhL6pBhDjARIsAGx8D5-FSW5w35m1QuIMy53uIxO9CFH-2BKckRBb8Yytgepy-kPU4zvmoIIaAq5aEALw_wcB&mrkgcl=1214&mrkgen=gtext&mrkgcat=brand_core&locationid=9046907&adgroupid=32170939226&ds_s_kwgid=58700004154993638&matchtype=e&device=t&gclsrc=aw.ds

next have some Victoria’s Secret bits in the clearance section

@gingeristhenewblack43 thanks for the tesco curlers

Ok so far for DD13 I have:

• fake Ugg slippers from new look
• ring light
• 3 x benefit mini’s for £30 boots
• Make up brush set half price in boots
• jammies
• Hair oil
• String lights for her room
• Books including the Taylor one above (thank you! @OnionBag)

dd is only starting to like make up, she prefers to only wear a little, and only wears brow gel and clear mascara usually, so the benefit minis include that and the brushes will help when she has parties etc as she likes to wear a little eyeshadow then.

Considering straighteners too. Need decent ones for thick hair, hairdresser recommended the wider GHD’s but they are £199 😳😳😳😳

Oh I also have a couple of adidas cropped hoodies from tk maxx

i got my daughter one from M and S a few weeks ago. Think they go up to 15? (The sailor collar shirt)

Mine are 18 and 14 and like:

• Face masks- peel off etc not NHS 😆
• The Ordinary skincare
• Lip gloss
• Lip balm
• Nail polish
• Selection boxes (yes, still)
• Hair stuff - rollers, brushes, clips
• Posh shampoo
• Money
• Hot chocolate
• Furry socks
• Small handbags/clutch bags
• Make up/toiletries bags

Thank you!

I have 2 teen DD’s but neither really like make up or skin care. Dd1 has a lot of clothes and dd2 lives in joggers and hoodies. Both will be getting a Lego set but not sure which sets, I will look at the bird house. I might get Dd2 a bubble tea set, some sketch pads and a couple books. Dd1 is tricky so I will probably just pop some vouchers into her stocking.

@Graciebobcat Thank you for some of the ideas. What is the go to for posh shampoo?

My daughter likes Monday shampoo. Not particularly posh but “aesthetic” apparently.

I own 2 14 yr olds who could not be more different.

Dd 2 is a bit of a nerd, bit goth and loves time alone. For her list I have:

Jewellery box from Etsy which she loves as it's a bit gothic
Days of the week socks
Yet more Sarah j Maas books (got those as a recommendation from here last year and she ADORES them
Goth t shirts and hoodies
A cactus or Venus fly trap

This is a mix of her list and ideas from me.

Dd1 is a lot more girly. For her I have no ideas yet! I have done hair stuff and make up before, her birthday is in jan and she wants a clothes splurge for that. She has various fairy lights/photo frames from prior years. There may be a book in the series she likes coming out so that's one idea. Pj shorts set always goes down well and maybe a Lego kit.

She has promised me a list though.

@Its5656 M&M direct have some juicy tracksuits for £40ish for the trousers and hoody. They're on my niece's wishlist.

Ok dd1 has just presented me with a list so just in case it helps for ideas it included

Vinyl stickers
An alarm clock (ffs use your phone like a normal! DH has suggested we get her a teasmade ;))
Jewellery stand
Make up organiser
Body mist
Silk pillow case
Jewellery (will probably look for small studs as she wants a second piercing)
