What have you bought your 14 year old daughters?

[CheapMustard]

I realise I am officially now ‘uncool’… not that I ever was! I don’t want to waste money on things that aren’t really ‘in’.
Are Adanola sweatshirts still in or old hat? If so which one? Uggs… cool or uncool?
In terms of style are there any influencers that I should be following?
Help?! & links very much appreciated. I literally have bought her nothing other than a few stocking fillers!

My teen is totally not cool and has got:
A spray gun, paint and other craft stuff (lots of craft stuff!)
Fluffy pjs
A large fuggler
Nightmare at Xmas blanket
Practice dummy drum kit
Tablet Pen
Rocketbook digital notebook
A stocking with slime, card game, stress balls, fancy pin board pins etc..

My teen actually has the Uggs linked in the first reply otherwise they would also have been on her Christmas list 😅

Also forgot to add a Jellycat and book

White fox hoodie
Nike Trainers
Lots of books (16)
Earrings
Sol de Janeiro perfume
PJs
Tickets to Hamilton
Stocking fillers: make up, face masks, chocolate, pallet knives for art,

My 15yr old isn't into brands or make up, but had mentioned she'd like to give it a try as she likes it when I do it for her for special occasions. So, I've got her a starter set from ELF, plus some skincare and then:
3 x Lego sets
Untold amount of books
An LOL Teen doll that she collects
Custom Converse
HP Mystery Potions
HP 'Floating' Candles
Aphmau Chocolate Cat

And a cat themed stocking.

No problem.

a lot of the stuff on other lists are also really popular but my daughter already has them so didn’t list them.

Oh and Pandora! Looking at these replies it’s literally all the same stuff, how funny 🤣

Flippin' heck. My 14 year old is so far off being interested in make up and fashion. I don't think she has any idea who Charlotte Tilbury even is! Should I be worried???

She's getting...

Rick Riordan book from Percy Jackson-adjacent series
Hamilton-themed tote bag and pencil case

I will let her buy and download a Switch game of her choice on Christmas Day

I'll pick up a few other bits for stocking tomorrow...chocolate, possibly a Pandora charm and a Lego something or other, though my wallet is starting to protest...🙁

Why are they all wanting jellycats all of a sudden? I know this has always been a popular brand and I’m sure some will comment saying their DD has got one every year for Christmas but I’ve never seen so many on lists for this age group. What ones is it? My kids have asked for them too but I can’t bring myself to pay £30 for a teddy!

Mine is getting
Billie Eilish hoodie
various perfumes as hasn’t picked a favourite yet
various books
stick on nails in a variety of lengths and colours
make up
they had a fossil advent calendar as well

last year was mammoth teeth fossils and Iron Maiden tickets

Yes my heart sinks at most of the items on these lists. Mine are younger (older primary) and not so clued on trends. I imagine that will change when they get on sociAl media?

I've ordered my daughter a jellycat pup (thanks to this thread 🙈😂). I chose RM next day, so hopefully it'll arrive in time.

In my forties and I can’t afford half this shit (for me) 💀 was convinced I was spoiling my kids and I am but at least now I know others are doing a far more thorough job of it. Hoping these are boarding school darlings and not normal kids though. If not the ante has been upped too far.

My 13.5yos list...

• hedwig "oodie" (from Tesco)
• Harry potter mystery wand
• hufflepuff travel cup
• sorting hat squishmallow
• Boulderball (a cross between a climbing trainer and puzzle)
• sports leggings
• lighter hiking backpack (for daytime)
• calligraphy set
• double bedding
• lego
• board game

This is from family, not just us. No interest in make up, or clothes outside of comfort.

Plenty of other gis like her at school, although plenty with the brands etc as well.

My DD is very nearly 14 and she's made it clear she only wants money and chocolates for Christmas, so she can use the money to buy the clothes she wants and not risk me buying the wrong thing. Seems sensible to me. My parents are also giving her money instead of a present.

I have bought her some long socks though, but I know she was planning to buy them herself once she got her money, and a t-shirt I know she'll find amusing.
Oh and she did ask for Just Dance for the switch so I bought that.

Dare I say it, such amazing and expensive products seem to be a bit wasted on children! The Simple range is more suited to that age group, I think. And the likes of Tilbury make-up is just sooo expensive for kids. Plus, they're going to get sticker shock as young adults when they realise how much this stuff costs when you're paying your own way!

DD, 14 and a half.
Lightweight hairdryer with diffuser (£22)
Books: two new, four secondhand (£30)
Jellycat (£23)
Vinyl album (£18)
