If a 14-year-old girl wanted DMs for her birthday...

[wonkhamstrong]

... what else would she like? DMs have been given by another relative, and I know she got some nice toiletries from Space NK. I'd like to not do a voucher as I did that last year. Any ideas?

DD is going to be 14 in Feb and nothing but DMs or Vans grace her feet

She would love
Urban Decay, Morphe or Toofaced makeup
Glossier skincare
still likes Lush
DM laces good shout
Hoodies
Urban Outfitters voucher

Mac is a bit mainstream/grown up in her book (even though I know, I know, urban outfitters) She'd recoil at the prices of Space NK even if she had a voucher
Everyone who wants a Fjallraven has one by now.

Cold hard cash also guaranteed to be a winner.

Who is she to you? Unless she’s your DD or DSis (so you know her skin type and sensitivities) then I wouldn’t bother with skincare. If she likes eyeliner then there are Christmas sets (affordable and expensive) out at the moment that include eye makeup. Nail polishes would be a safe bet! Or some cute pjs.

My 15 year old wears DMs, she loves Glossier for make up, Brandy Melville and Monki for clothes and The Great Frog for jewelry.

Docs are hideously expensive. DD2 is getting a pair - she’s 27 lol. Wouldn’t have been able to spend that on a teen back in the day

A shacket, socks for the DM's, Glossier is what I'm going for for my 14 year old niece, that and some loungewear (iets frans). She also likes cute/pretty stationery for revision, candles for her room, mug and hot chocolate, hotel chcolate velvetiser if the budget is big. Stuff for her bedroom in general and Lush products still seem to be a hit as she always asks for them.

Otherwise perfume, glamglow face masks, coco and eve hair mask, pyjamas, chilly's bottle, hairdryer,. The sculpd kits are Artful box are good of she's into art and are something good to do at home.

Teens seem to generally like what they see on the likes of Instagram so look at who she follows perhaps.

High top vans (there’s some great designs), Lucy and yak dungarees, a la menagerie necklace of her favourite animal.

Or yeah, more DMs/laces.

Thanks everyone! Turns out she already has a fjallraven so Duzzy our 37-year-old instincts are not too ancient and past it

I'm going to go with Glossier and possibly a checked shirt too and a promise of vintage shopping next time we can hang out

OOh hang on, high top vans! There's a thought

Copying and pasting this for Christmas! thanks!

Hydro flask? DD (15) likes a lot of the stuff mentioned here and wants a hydro flask.

Maybe Converse for the Summer

Have you asked her? It's quite a hard age to get right for.
Whatever you end up getting, give her the receipt to exchange if she wants (teen girls can be so fussy. I know I was )

Glossier
Bedroom stuff from Urban Outfitters (fake plants, fairy lights, sloth hot water bottle)
Cactus

Mine don't think falraven backpacks are cool

Urban Outfitters has some amazing homeware.

Chillys bottle

I would like all of these things and I'm 50! Is anyone looking to adopt a niece? Asking for a friend...

A Choose Love t-shirt.
Given the sort of year it's been and how much teens are plugged into what's going on in the world it's a good bet, and with street cache. My niece's loved the ones I gifted, selfies galore.

Yes velevetiser
Sprocket photo printer if bigger budget

The Eastpak save the oceans backpack is very cool

@wonkhamstrong Glad to hear we're still cool 😄

@binkyblinky

What about a pair of run & fly or lucy & yak dungarees?

Had to look these up but they are cool!

Bh cosmetics,
Jeffree star
Urban decay stoned / moondust palettes

I have, but she's very sweet and self-effacing and just said, oh, anything.

Mine is a 15 yr old dm wearer but she has eclectic taste she also owns some white sixties heeled knee highs. but I would say they love having vouchers to spend - ASOS, H&M, Amazon mine also loves book vouchers, cash etc. She is into skater style dresses short and longer versions, large oversize jumpers , vintage style postcards for her wall collection, cool strip lights controllable from her phone that change colours etc, tapes cds and records and things to play them on - her uncle got her a digital music player that can cope with tapes as well as spotify and she loves that, spotify sub, any sort of cool note book or stationery

Some of this stuff is mega expensive, your niece is a very lucky girl!!
