Great thread with some new ideas.
@Kickinthenostalgia I was considering an Apple Watch for dd 13 but remain a bit sceptical about the additional digital overload, more messages coming straight to the watch, more alerts, more distractions. What are the benefits of apple watch for your young teen?

@Radiator981 whats a netball montage? Is it a poster?

@ChocoChocoLatte is gymshark a trendy brand with teens? My dd mentioned it a few times, what items are you getting?

@Makingpeace is Ordinary gift set specifically for teenage skin? tia.

I'll add mine
Iets frans joggers and baby tee
White Fox baby tee
A few things from Hollister

1000 pc puzzle
books
Hair oil form Sephora
Summer Fridays lip balm

For under 20 quid, I recommend lip balm, puzzle if they're into it, book vouchers, Hollister or Boots voucher.

Sol de Janeiro gift set or fragrance

Nothing, same as last year.

Sounds like my DD15, this is almost identical to her list. Hollister or urban outfitters is a sure bet.

DD always gets a ticket to the theatre. She is very happy in the cheap seats, so rarely more than £30 for a West End ticket. She is also 17 so happy to go on her own!

Might be an option, or a cinema ticket?

How is this helpful

You're supposed to say, why not ? And I'd reply that I haven't got any daughters............Clever eh ?!
