£20-ish gift for older teen girls 17-19

I have boys and I am useless at buying for girls! I have two nieces who I will give cash to, but like to give a tangible gift too - something similar for each of them. Any ideas for 20-ish pounds.

Ideas I have though of so far but they seems a bit crap......

Silk pillowcase each?
Hotel Chocolate Sleekster each?
Warm socks?
Makeup of some sort (one is into makeup more than the other so usually avoid)

What generic gift would an older teen girl like/hopefully even if they have one already? I don't know what they are into really anymore as don't see much of them now they are older and out doing their own things. Neither at uni so nothing related to that, neither have any particular interests as dropped their early teens hobbies, but both enjoy socialising with friends.

I've asked ds(19) what is popular on tictok etc and he is no help! Says he doesn't see girl things in his feed so doesn't know! 🤦‍♀️

These will be my last gifts then I am done! (hopefully)

Laniege lip masks you can get at space NK :)
you can get great silk pillowcases at cult beauty too they are a good option

I’d go power banks for phones or something like that.

Mine would love a coffee shop gift card to use, hotel chocolat chocolate or something from Lush.

Glossier ultralip, cloud paint, or balm dotcom are all around that price point

Had to look up sleekster but I think you’re on the right track. My dd would prefer fancy hot chocolate but she’s never enjoyed chocolate that is fancier than Lindor. I think that the silk pillowcases is excellent as it covers anybody into hair and skincare.

If you don't know them well, I would go for fairly generic presents that are useful for all! So power banks, multi charger cables, food items (if you know there are no dietary needs!) Mugs / glasses / etc or pens / wallets / torches.

Perfume - you can nice ones for that price. Brands like Ghost, Anna Sui, Ted Baker etc are nice for that age group

Thanks everyone, went for the silk pillow cases. After googling them for the skin benefits I got one for ds too as he is suffering terribily from acne just now, not sure if he will appreciate it, if not I'll have it to see if it helps my frizzy grey hair 🤣

Think that is me done now..........until the twitch.......
