Tween/teen girls ideal presents

What would your 12-15 year olds ideal presents?
For us, it's anything from Sephora, clothes, baking books, craft stuff, photography related gear and nice things for their rooms from ether Amazon or Urban Outfitters. Oh and Uggs but I don't think they'll get them. Maybe fake ones.

Freeze dried sweets are all the rage with my girls - maybe an idea for a stocking filler?!

12yo DD and her friends are all mad about room decor bits. Little fake plants in cute plant pots, scented candles, room sprays etc. She's asked for a big cork noticeboard to pin up photos. She likes quirky mirrors and posters for her room. Fluffy cushions, blankets and 'cosy things' such as slippers, hot water bottles and oodies.

Last year I remember reading all the Christmas threads about tweens/teens and expensive skincare and feeling thankful that my DD wasn't into that stuff yet. But fast-forward a year and she's there! She loves face masks, serums, body creams, body sprays, lip scrubs, lip balms, make-up, hair care etc. For her birthday in the summer I got her a pretty bath tray which she adores, so things she perceives as 'little luxuries'.

She's very arty and creative so art supplies will always be a hit with my DD and she's asked for a crochet kit this year. Baking things, waffle maker, chocolate fountain etc.

And books, books and more books. A beautiful personalised book embosser was a hit for her birthday.

Beauty stuff, sports kit & books. Oh, and more clothes of course!
It was her birthday recently. She was having one big item which she'd already received and I suddenly realised she'd have nothing to open on the day. She would have been fine with that but I did a quick circuit of Primark, picked up various bits which came to about £12 in total and she was thrilled with them ... off the top of my head, it was fluffy socks, a make up head band thing, wrist things to stop water running down your arms when washing your face etc, a compact mirror & some scrunchies.

Very stuck for this age but book embosser and waffle maker are great ideas, thanks!

Weirdly a retractable clothes line and fixings were a hit for birthday - to hang up favourite drawings and paintings in her room.

Wrist tthing to.stop water running down your arms is brilliant my dd14 would find very useful (I want those myself) was it primark? Love these threads for ideas.
