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!

Can I ask where you got the perfume mini’s set from? My daughter asked for perfume but I’d discounted as too expensive along with Uggs etc

FiloPasty · 20/12/2024 19:46

Sorry just saw your reply thanks good to know going forward

We have no cash so DD has some new slippers, a giant (about 10cm. diameter) chocolate coin and a lip balm. The slippers and lip balm come from Normal (like an Action type discount shop, don’t know if it exists in U.K. yet) so not designer or coveted name brands.

She’ll also have some leggings for sport in the post Christmas sales.

I think this sounds lovely!

Lookfantastic did amazing perfume mini sets, but I messed around and it got sold out. So I had to get them all individually which is more expensive (each cost around £20 give or take) whereas the Lookfantastic set cost £55 for 5 plus you got £55 perfume voucher. I posted a few links above, but if you're looking for something before Christmas- I'd get Ariana Grande Cloud perfume from Superdrug or Boots which is fairly cheap for mini perfume set of three I believe and I think it's now very popular with teens.

My 14 year old’s list is quite different to most!
DC shoes
Wild deodorant
Baggy jeans
Double kit drum pedal
The last of us PS4 game
Limp bizkit band shirt
The Smiths band shirt
Wood whittling kit
graffiti paint markers
Headphones
burts bees cuticle cream
Portable dvd player
Traffic mirror for the corner of her room

she likes playing drums, whittling wood and apparently, safe reversing in her bedroom (the traffic mirror lol)

my 17 year old and 11 year old however, make up & skin care all the way plus jellycats for the 11yo.

snowgirl1 · 20/12/2024 22:20

DD is getting for Christmas & birthday just after Christmas (yet to decide the split)

White Fox hoodie
Croc & charms
New cycling helmet
Cute tennis dampers and grip tape
Fjallraven backpack
Mango puffer jacket
Monday shampoo & conditioner
Sundae shower foam
Starface lipbalm & spot covers
Hotel Chocolat Velvitiser
Sol de Janerio mini gift set
Zara joggers
Bubble tea set

Feels like a lot but some of it is stuff we'd have to have bought her anyway.

Relatives are getting Hollister & Oliver Bonas vouchers & books

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.

No sol here, only the home bargain fake one!

The kids are alright 🥹

My DD is 13 and shes got:
Football boots
Football shirt signed by her fave player
Ugg tazmans
Sisters & seekers hoodie
Snood & gloves for football
Shelving unit from Ikea to display her various football boots 🤣
Hair products for slick back ponytails

ProvincialLady24 · 20/12/2024 23:47

Juts ask her for a list?

RightOnTheEdge · 21/12/2024 00:22

My Dd14 has asked for
a steering wheel and pedals for driving games on her xbox,
Nike jumper,
Nike backpack,
Gloves for football.
Ear pods.
I've got her new pj's and fluffy socks and some curly hair products as well.

I'm really surprised that nearly everyone has got jelly cats on their list. I didn't know they were so popular with teenagers. My dd has never mentioned them. I thought they were just for little kids.
They are gorgeous and soft though, I wouldn't mind one for myself Grin

Waitingforspring81 · 21/12/2024 04:40

Reading this seem like I need to go shopping; mine asked for a guitar and that’s what she is getting. We spent £150; ice skates for her birthday again over £100. She has been taken to the theatre a few times this month; but didn’t think of including them on the Christmas gift

this candy cane sleep mask. This brand is really popular at the moment so any of it would be good.

Other bits are

Large Yankee candle
stationary bits
A book on a topic she likes.
YSL mascara gift set
Fluffy PJs
fluffy socks
hismile toothpaste
summer Fridays lip balm
Victoria secrets bra (with the diamond style strap)
Hot chocolate set

This is almost identical to my 14 year old dd’s list

Oreyt · 21/12/2024 09:28

Also I wouldn't buy the fake Sol. Just get something totally different instead. It won't smell the same or have the same ingredients it will just have similar packaging.

RubyRobin1 · 21/12/2024 10:12

Hollister USA flag jumper and plain white top
Tartan blanket from Primark
Ginerbread plush toy from Primark
Reed Diffuser from Primark
Jellycat toy
Air dryer / styler set
Shower whip pots
Flower hair clips
CD player for her K-pop albums

Stocking fillers will be things like chocolates, noodles and hair scrunchies etc

The only thing she asked for was the jumper. She had uggs and a camera for her birthday so those were big presents.

No skincare or smellies here - because we have a ton of it that we are using up as a family!

XiCi · 21/12/2024 10:53

Dd14 has got

Lana Del Ray tickets
Nike AF1
Victoria secret slippers
Sol de janeiro & Victoria secret body sprays
Byoma skincare
Elf concealer & powder
Mini ice cream maker
Posca pens & drawing pad
Revlon one step
Heatless hair curlers
Light up make up box
Some vintage clothes she wanted from Depop
Jellycat croissant
Laneige lip mask set
Earrings
Ariana grande mini perfume cracker
Wicked book

slipperyeel · 21/12/2024 11:08

Miss Dior perfume
A digital camera
Spotify voucher
Pandora bracelet
Then stocking filler such as body lotion, chocolate, pyjamas, lip balm etc.

Jumpingoffthefence · 21/12/2024 15:12

Mine has recently turned 15. I got her some Charlotte Tilbury make up, a candle, iPad case, Victoria’s Secret pants, thermal cup, bubble bath, chocolates and a blow out brush hair dryer thingy.

Lana Del Rey tickets also but her and her sister know about them already.

Saz12 · 21/12/2024 19:07

Mine is having:
Pandora bracelet & charm (thanks to advice on here!)
Crocs
Sports kit bag
A book
Ariana Grande Ari perfume (a late twitch because I know she'll love it and it was half price in Boots!)
Then a stocking which is basically several bags of regular sweeties, a fun fizzy drink, a puzzle book. I hate putting stuff in that isn't much appreciated because of all the more exciting gifts, hence it's not v exciting!

She is very into a couple of sports but doesn't need any particular equipment, nor is she particularly bothered about makeup and skincare.

Enterthedragonqueen · 22/12/2024 17:27

@Saz12 which Ariana Grande perfume did you get and is it a sweet perfume? Dd 15 yrs old like fresh or citrussy scents so wondered if it's worth getting.
