Don't know what to get dd13

[Borris]

Need inspiration please.

She's just had a birthday and so used all my ideas up on that for me and family members - she had a dressing table with stool, Hollywood style mirror and make up storage plus an Alexa for her room. All was a massive hit.

Not sure what to get her for Christmas and I have various family members asking me too 😫.

She likes horses, rock music, makeup, murder mystery type books. I considered an ice cream maker but I think it will be a one hit wonder. Has asked for a darts board - again not sure as it can't go in the house and enthusiasm will probably wane fast. I have seen some on fb marketplace that I could get as an extra.

Her stocking has been easy to do with little make up bits, silly games, small bits of merch from her favourite band.

Theatre trips we do a couple of times a year so wouldn't seem special.

Has anyone got any ideas. She'd like gifts rather than money!

Does she ride?
Block of riding lessons? It's not really something to open though.

Guitar or keyboard & lessons?

Jewellery box, make up brush set, fancy water bottle, organiser/caddy for the dressing table, fluffy rug for the floor.

Some kids are into retro style music so CDs and CD players can be a hit.

Maybe new headphones or AirPods? Since she likes makeup and got a new dressing table set up recently maybe a mini skincare fridge, I got one cheaply for my 14 year old DSD and she loves it. (I know they are a ridiculous concept but it's what she wanted)
Gua sha/ face roller kit, Frank green water bottle, fancy mug with some nice hot chocolate. Maybe a nice pair of pjs or lounge wear, essential oil diffuser, bath bombshell and body lotion from lush?

Velvetiser
Bubble tea kit
Digital photo frame
Pictionary Air
Cluedo Sabotage
Wax melt burner and selection of fun wax melts
Bomb Cosmetics gift set

Record player ? My DD got one at 13 and loves it.

Although she listens to Spotify she likes having the physical records for her favourites.

Albums are expensive now though - often around £30

Tickets to see a band? Posters, headphones, portable charger

My teen DD is madly obsessed with skin care and make up. There are loads of decent make up brands out there that hit different price points. Happy to suggest some brands if you want.

Things that were a hit for us:
-soap and glory big set
-Starbucks straw cup
-colour changing light bulb
-disco ball
-nice make up brushes
-Victorias secret sprays
-Victoria secret lip gloss
-hoop earrings

Record player and vinyls
fancy hairdryer (Dyson if budget allows)

Thanks all. Some good ideas that I hadn’t thought of.

i will look into a record player as I could definitely see her enjoying that.

Also like the idea of a room rug, band inspired wall art and the digital photo frame.

Ive not heard of cluedo sabotage but we like regular cluedo so will look at that.

Also wax melts might suit too.

@SlatternIsMyMiddleName what skincare brands. She loves makeup but not so into skincare yet.

thanks for all the inspiration

Fluffy rug for floor
LED lights for the room (to put around mirror, bed etc.
Lava lamp
A fancy jewellery organiser
Hot chocolate bombs
Short, silk pyjamas
Satin duvet set
Vouchers for shops like JD Sports, H and M and Boots

Suggestions I've stolen from the link above for 12 yr old DD:
White Fox tracksuit
Stanley sip mug thing
Oodie

Then I've added:
Sephora advent calendar as a Xmas present
Riding coat
Jodh boots + chaps
Photo in frame of her and friends horse at recent SJ comp

That's pretty much it apart from chocolates for stocking

I've also got her a riding jacket
Coverless duvet
Fluffy socks
Makeup

I was going to get her a white fox hoodie but won't bother now I've ordered the one above
The 3in1 creator lego looks fun so that was on my list but I think it would be wasted on her

Silk pjs are a good idea. She my DD loves hers.
