Help! Any ideas for what 12 year old girls like that I can post please? I've got two boys and they just shrugged ...

Can you send direct from the shop? If so a bubble tea kit from bubble panda?

Giftcard stuck to a big bar of chocolate is my go to gift for tweens and teens. Cinema, food outlet or clothes shop go down well

You can often find some letterbox size gifts on Etsy with things like face mask, hot choc, fluffy socks etc

Worriedmum42 · 13/11/2023 17:22

Meant to add that they could post direct to the person

Yes bubble tea is very popular with 12 year old girls

Etsy is a good call.
I bought a 'smores kit for a friend that would be fun for a tween too..
Nice notebook/kawaii pens/stickers
Hair scrunchies (fashionable again)
I saw a cute quilted hoody that my DD is a bit too old for sadly! Next.

I find all kids prefer cash. Then they can choose. Amazon voucher.

12 year old is very into skincare - ice rollers, under eye treatment patches, cleansers, face masks / scrubs / moisturisers etc!!

Also bubble tea and the bubble panda sets are very good.

My 12 yo would love fluffy socks.
She also loves sweets; randoms, candy kittens, fizzy laces.
Face masks
I would avoid notebooks as it's the go-to gift for someone who isn't sure what to get and my girls have loads of unused notebooks because they have so many

If you can order your gift from Amazon, they will wrap and post it for you. For my three great-nephews, this is a real life changer!!
I would agree with the bubble tea suggestions. American sweets also seem to be popular.

DD hates bubble tea, it would be a waste of money.

I would ask the parents for inspirations. DD loved jewellery from Accessorize, books, anything horse and Harry Potter related.

I often send presents by Amazon and their gift bags are really lovely.

in the UK or abroad ?

My daughter would hate bubble tea, my vote goes for a voucher, she’ll be delighted.

ITSSSSCHRISTMASSS · 14/11/2023 00:13

Fully depends on the girl, I agree with @Sparkleirisheyes my DDs would hate bubble tea, one would like a face mask the other not. Unless you know the child well I’d avoid anything skin related. Safe bet would be a voucher or money. Mine prefer money, me too as quite often I end up buying vouchers off them as they can never find anything in the shops they get vouchers for.
