Im really stuck on what to get my 2 daughters for Christmas this year.

I have a 17 year old who says she wants nothing. Shes into make up and experiences but I am getting her a weekend away for her birthday in december.

My 11 year old is into skincare and quite brand heavy. But again all she has on her list is katseye merch atm. I plan on getting her a byoma skin care set,hairdryer, nail varnish etc but these are just little things.
She still believes in santa claus if that makes a difference.

1st year iv ever been stuck
Help please

Lululemon leggings - they do quite small sizes which would fit an ever age 11yo
Jellycat key chain
Rio Lush beauty box
Ugg or Emu slippers
Sabrina Carpenter or Taylor Swift perfume

you need to tell her about Santa before she gets the mickey ripped out of her!!
Do they have any hobbies?

Instax camera
Mini fridge for make up, skin care and drinks in the bedroom
Ice cream machine

She has just went into year 6. Iv asked the other mams and most in the class still believe.
11 year old likes playing online games, dress to impress, grow garden etc. Is just getting into yoga and loves drawing.
17 year old is too busy focusing on her A levels to have any hobbies.

Taylor Swift's perfume is long gone, she had it about 10 years ago or so. I think you can still buy it from someone online but it would be overpriced, probably semi-used and the smell could be very different from the original. Sabrina's is out there though!
Frenship bracelet making kit could be a good idea or something from Taylor's or Sabrina's merch store. You can make posters from their photos (here is a guide for that) and print them out too.
Other ideas would be:
Washable hair sprays
Clip-in colorful hair extensions
A big set of lip balms or body lotions in small bottles
Favorite snacks
Yoga mat for the 11yo, power bank for the 17yo
Cute water bottles or water cups with straw
Face masks
Not sure about DIY kits but jewelry making or soap/candle making sets might go down well
Tickets to events or concerts for the 17yo?

Edit: friendship bracelet, not friendship making kit 😂

They have most of these but the squishy maker sounds like it would be a hit and the spotify voucher and also maybe a kindle subscription. Thank you.

Theatre tickets? E.g. Hunger games/cursed child

Robux gift card

Pandora charm bracelet

A leotard, or other gym wear, for the yoga lover. Maybe from Gymshark.

I don't know if Jack Wills and Hollister are still popular with that age (my DD is 27!) but I remember Jack Wills bedding being a real hit when she was in Y7. Today's trendy brands probably offer this.

Driving lessons for the 17 year old, and a driving experience for the younger one. My DD did one at Mercedes World, and eligibility was based on height rather than age.

Zoo Keeper for a day experience, or individual animal experience. Or a llama walking experience.
