I managed to get all of the gifts for my daughter from a thread like this last year so hoping for ideas again. She never knows what she wants but always loves the expensive popular stuff eg. Longchamp bag, Owala Water bottle, Hollister Clothes etc. but what are those essentials this year ? with a December birthday too it's quite tricky

My daughter loves the Zara perfume fashionably London, they have handy handbag sized versions and hair perfume... Ideal stocking fillers. I got these put away as I knew they would sell out UGG Goldenstar Evelina Clog for Women | UGG® UK They may have them in your local Office etc.. My daughter has grown out of PLouise and prefers Dior, Charlotte Tilbury, Hourglass Kylie etc. She loves all skincare and I have gotten her some great deals off TikTok recently from Medicube, toning pads, serum & facemasks. Also, a really good phone charging kit that was under £20. If anyone has boy ideas I would love to hear...

@Delahot Calvin's seem quite popular, can normally pick them up in the sales. Also just got DD some lacy ones from H&M, with low rise jeans they want to be able to see the lacy tops - it's giving noughties thongs all over again!

Can anyone recommend place to get underwear from that this age group like. My daughter is in need of new knickers. I need to take her for a new bra fitting too at some point. I’m not convinced the last place got it right.

Microfiber Victoria's Secret pack of 4 £20 (or maybe £22?) from Next are a firm favourite!

I get my DD’s from Victoria Secret, they seem to go down well - I will be honest I only by them as the ‘fancy Christmas present’ ones not the everyday you need new knickers knickers.

For all the branded stuff I absolutely scour Vinted. So much is put on there new with tags for decent prices and then I tend to get more for my money.

DC trainers are big here with both of my DD’s - one who is brand obsessed and the other who goes for what she likes not the name.

Something that has gone down really well is the Daise gift sets they are £12 (the whipped shower gel, soap and body scrub) from Boots and in the 3for2 and I buy the deodorant separately (to go in the stocking).

DD loves vanilla and perfumes like Miss Dior have been a hit.

Miss Dior used to be my teen's favourite. Now it's Lancome La Vie est Belle
