What are the IT brands across the board for teenage girls at the moment?

[ValleyClouds]

Looking for actual gifts to unwrap on the day not vouchers. I don’t have teen girls of my own but I have a reputation as the Cool Aunt who nails it every time gift wise that I am proud of and would like to maintain

Thanks, she does have some GHD straighteners already (!), plus outside my budget, but I was wondering about hair products recommendations, I should have been clearer.

I really hit the spot last Christmas with my granddaughter’s 13 and 17 i bought them a lip gloss and mascara from Dior , the packaging was amazing and you could personalise the lip gloss with a name , they were absolutely bowled over and loved the gift . 💝

I saw those !! But I didn’t know where to buy from. Do John Lewis do them?

Sol de Janeiro is still popular but is now so ubiquitous that I don’t think it has the Christmas wow factor you’re looking for.
Be wary with Subdued & Brandy Melville as they offer credit notes rather than refunds. Understandable on their part but disappointing if you’re a teen.
Whatever you do, say yes to any offer of wrapping/a bag and then either just give it to them in that or put it inside a gift bag. The Space NK or whatever bags are almost as treasured as the beauty items thenselves.

I agree on the bags, my DDs have a collection of them, they keep the empty boxs from their favourite products in them.

Glossier
Charlotte tilbury
Sol de janeiro
Victorias secret

there are houses being sold that are ‘staged’ with designer bags and boxes in the photos. For teens I can understand it. Adults not so much 😂

is PLouise makeup still in?
no idea as I’ve got a teenage son, but I like it 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

Anything in Sephora! GLOW Recipe us always a hit, Byoma. P Louise is also very in at the minute

I think the white fox phase has gone. My dc14 sold all her bits on Vinted as did her friends.
they love Berska, Hollister, brandy melville.

Space nk
Jellycats

Not sol de janerio or VS way out of fashion here
oh a longchamp tote!!!

I have a 15 yr old girl. We’ve just had a city shopping trip. The places I was dragged into:
Sephora
Bershka
H&M
Zara
Urban Outfitters
Hollister
Selfridges
Victoria’s Secret.

For make up she likes Too Faced, Charlotte Tilbury, Dior and Huda.
Fragrance wise is the Victoria’s Secret body sprays, or the sprays from Bath and Bodywork’s and Ariana Grande/various very sweet smells.

Bubble tea
Sol de Janeiro
Byoma
Huda Beauty
Pat McGrath (very pricy but they usually do a couple of special edition lower priced palates)
Drunk Elephant (awful stuff though)

Glossier is a good one

My girls are slightly older but like-
Sol de janeiro
Ouai shampoo
Stanley's
Berksha
Hollister
Huda/Charlotte tillbury/dior
Laneige/summer Friday
Facial spf is a big thing, la roche posay
Longchamp pilage bag but pretty pricey
Victorias secret body sprays knickers or pjs
Lush body sprays
Biomass
Carolina Harrera perfume in the shoe bottles
Lego flowers
Anything with a bloody bow on it
And last but definitely not least Jellycats

A lot to ponder on, thank you all

Unsure what your budget is OP, but if you also do sweet treats on top of presents this went down a storm with my 16 year old last year - anything Japanese or Korean will win you cool points….

I second the Dior lip gloss. And Miss Dior perfume. I bought my DD a mini gift set a few years ago (with make up bag) and oh my the packaging was beautiful; she’s still kept the box. My DD felt so special opening it! (You can buy them cheaper elsewhere but honestly it was worth the extra money for the packaging.)

I’m very tempted by the Lip Gloss but it’s quite pricey when you have 2 to buy for

I was looking last night at Sephora and find it expensive when you can do a quick search and find the same thing for cheaper elsewhere. It is great for ideas though and has the latest brands.

My dd is 16 and likes her Stanley cup, Ariana grande cloud perfume, Carolina Herrera Good girl perfume. (Cool bottle)
Adidas spezials.
Ugg slippers
Victorias secret pj’s and cosmetic bags/cases.
Bershka.

My 14yo is into Brandi Melville and Bershka and the toiletries brand Sundae. But she is a girly girl so guess it depends whether your nieces are or not

Rituals

I’ll have that myself, thanks!
