Older teen girls gift ideas

17 replies

PinkyBlueMe · 25/11/2023 11:33

Hello
I've seen a thread but seems to be mainly younger teen girls and tweens.
Can anyone give me ideas for older teen girls - DD is very almost 17. Driving is not on the cards just yet (she's not interested at mo).

She already has white fox hoodies which I know are a big thing.

So far have:
Nike dunks (on her list)
Jeans (on her list)
Dior lip oil (surprise)
Northern Lights lamp (surprise)
Stanley cup (surprise)
Face mask (on her list)
Other clothes (from her list).

Any other ideas? I think what I'm looking for is something that she opens and says "Wow Mum, how did you know?! So cool" Grin

Would have liked Taylor Swift tickets but she only got keen on TS after the tickets were sold out.

Sol de janeiro cream and body mists

Lighted mirror from Amazon - amazing for make up and can be folded for traveling

How about one of those Give Me haircare bundles?

AirPod case or phone case in design/colour that appeals

Etsy is always good for cool gifts and jewellery

Coco and Eve hair wrap
Lush snow Angel body mist
If she has air pods, a case from Coconut Lane
Shower steamers
Bubble tea kit
Gymshark leggings

My parents gave me the money for driving lessons when I was ready for them anyway for my 17th. I didn't use it until I was 28, but I theoretically knew it was there when I wanted it and that that was what the money was for. Unfortunately they had got considerably more expensive in that time, so £250 no longer covered it..... 😂

I would suggest a provisional license anyway - will want for ID when she turns 18 next year regardless!

PinkyBlueMe · 25/11/2023 14:22

Thanks! Have now ordered a Coco & Eve hair wrap and also masque - she currently wraps her hair in a t-shirt so this is excellent!
Also investigating the light up mirror as she sits on floor by wardrobe mirror currently.

I wouldn't class a provisional license as a Christmas gift I don't think - especially when it's been made clear that there's no interest in lessons just yet

I don't know your budget so I'll just list things that I have considered or bought for my DD who's in her 20s

Loquet London necklace (expensive but cool)

UGG Brooklyn boots

Charlotte tilbury palette

Drunk Elephant skincare set

Moss agate silver ring

Dior nail oil pen

Tie dyed Nike socks (look on vinted for people who do this really well)

FernArable · 25/11/2023 14:25

Mine wants:

Korean Skincare
Victorias Secret satin PJ's
Books
Vinyls
A laptop
Money
Random skincare/haircare to try (Boots £10 Tuesday has been good for this)

Nearlyadoctor · 25/11/2023 21:56

Dd 16 is having:
Chanel Gabrielle perfume
Ariana Grande Cloud perfune
Mini Ugg boots
Caroline Hirons skincare book
2 Wetbrushes ( 1 large, 1 small)
Satin pj’s
charlotte tilbury mascara
Fat face fluffy socks
Passenger sleep sack ( for festivals) - you can undo the bottom to walk around and unzip the arms so can sit around a fire without the bottom getting muddy.
Face masks
Tweezerman tweezers.

She hasn’t asked for anything except surprises and the mascara but I’m sure she’ll love it all.

Nearlyadoctor · 25/11/2023 21:59

Cloud 9 straighteners were a surprise last year and a big hit .

PinkyBlueMe · 26/11/2023 08:28

Thanks all. Have added a light up mirror now too.
I have looked at the Charlotte Tilbury mascara - tempted.
Still working through the suggestions.

Yes I'm guessing you don't mean as a present but good idea to get this sorted, as you say also for ID!

mondaytosunday · 26/11/2023 08:54

My 18 year old dis rant even have a list! She keeps saying she doesn't want me to spend any money.
So far I've got her:
Cute jammies
Set of Jane Austen books (she did mention in passing she wants books)
Hair dryer with diffuser
Cute socks

That's it! She needs a new pair of shoes but that's not really a present as I'd be getting them for her anyway.

mondaytosunday · 26/11/2023 08:58

But I have just now ordered the Coco Eve wrap, conditioner and spray.

KingofCats · 26/11/2023 09:00

I’ve made my 16 year old do a detailed list as she’s fussy

sol de janiero mist
rare beauty make up
charlotte tilbury make up
clothes from motel rocks
wanted to buy her dunks to stop her stealing her sisters but she said no (happpy to keep stealing!)
opalex hair care as she’s damaged her hair heat styling it every day

Taytocrisps · 26/11/2023 09:18

The Sol de Janeiro stuff is all the rage atm. DD (18) wants a set (see photo).

She also wants some Drunk Elephant drops.

I'm guessing there's an influencer somewhere on TikTok plugging all this stuff.

She picked out a handbag and a top from Bershka.

Why not?! I'm all for highly practical presents and they aren't cheap! (I am also a person who asked "Santa" for a tin opener last Christmas though...).

reluctantbrit · 26/11/2023 09:43

DD asks for:

Taylor Swift tote bag
Taylor Swift vinyl
Make up
Jewellery
books

She will get also a full length storage mirror for jewellery and tickets for a East End London walk, she is interested in social history and did East End in school and wants to learn more.

Maybe some clothing if she gives some more hints.

She hates surprises so we do go by her wish list.

PinkyBlueMe · 26/11/2023 12:09

Sol de janeiro keeps appearing so am looking at that.
The jeans I ordered from DD's list were Motel Rocks so seems to be a popular brand.
