Present ideas for kids that have lots of stuff?

[supersun23]

My kids have accumulated so much stuff over the years. Looking for ideas of things that will get 'used up'! Fir example bath stuff, food etc... but interesting enough to make fun, decent presents. Any ideas?! Aged ds13 and dd9.

I am similar op with kids the same age. My 9 year old DD is obsessed with whipped soap so she will be getting a few tubs in her stocking, there are loads of companies that make it, I also might get her some of the Sundae shower gel which is like whipped cream and looks really cool.

My 13 year old DS will be getting some themed Dr Squatch soap alongside the usual chocolate and Haribo. Other than that and the very few things he has asked for I am stumped for him, teenage boys are so hard to buy for!

Lip balm
Nail stickers
Baking kit - I’ve got my dd a Wicked cupcake kit from Morrisons
S’mores kit
Bath bombs
Stationery - I’ve got my dd some Legami pens and scented gel pens
Robux gift card

Memberships, subscriptions and sponsorships were good for that situation.

So we've sponsored a Komodo dragon and a polar bear, had membership at a climbing wall and a zoo, a subscription to a special interest club (reptile keeping) and cooking kit subscription (wanted to learn to cook curries).

Also tickets to events, lessons like horse riding and ice skating, that sort of thing.

All helpful for cutting down on the "stuff" type presents.

At 13, my ds liked sports clothing and equipment.

What hobbies do they do? Can you get stuff related to these?

Great ideas, thank you! Ds loves gardening, dd loves lego.

Those are difficult ages. Try to think ahead for things they may need for hobbies, are their bikes getting a bit small, things you may need to buy going forward anyway. Then think about whether you can upgrade something you would buy normally, a more branded hoodie, better sports brands etc, so it's more special. Then, tickets and activities are definitely the way to go.

I say this, but I have a soon to be 15 year old still asking for Lego!

There are books which give you ideas of things to do with Lego you already have eg ‘365 things to do with Lego bricks’

Some sort of garden tool you don’t already have eg a bulb planter, along with some bulbs; fun gardening gloves

Lego set or lego collectibles for your DD, plant a tree kit for your DS maybe? Or DIY kits like miniature garden kit.
Do they have favorite characters or artists? You can get something with their pictures, like poster calendars or big photo collages. Items like that decorate the room nicely and could easily be replaced if the artist is no longer adored.
Most artists' stores usually have clothing items, but you need to read reviews first as the quality might be poor. Maybe something fanmade would be better.
Experience gifts like annual passes to themed parks or cinema vouchers maybe. Event tickets or certificates to classes and lessons that would be fun and interesting

If he likes gardening how about some unusual seeds? You can get exploding cucumbers, or loofahs, or less unusual but perhaps more useful if you have a greenhouse we have been doing well with melons in the last couple of years

Venus flytrap? I had one as a kid and I loved it!
