Christmas Gifts for teenagers

8 replies

Hello,

I wonder if a parent would be able to help me, I am wanting to buy a Christmas gift for a girl and a boy teenager for the cash for kids Christmas present appeal.

My budget is approximately £30 per child, and I was wondering what a good gift in that kind of budget would be.

I don't have any family myself so I'm a little bit in the dark as to what is trendy!

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much.

My teen dd has asked for some of the following:
Just Pink perfume from next
Pandora earrings
I’m doing her a hot chocolate hamper.
Morphe pallet (they often have sales)

Hi - I helped at the cash for kids one year and the teenage boys section was full of boy type toiletries - lynx etc... what really stood out were things like slipper socks, all in one tool for bikes etc, power pack (portable charger), t-shirt or hoodie (can't do too wrong with Nike), new rucksack etc. A trip to somewhere like trespass will have tons of handy bits and pieces for boys

Thanks so much for these! They're great tips! I was hoping to avoid the 'lynx' gift sets and do they are great ideas 😊

It's a really lovely thing you are doing - there is also nothing wrong with a lynx gift set 😊.

I second something like a Nike backpack, a Northface beanie or a Superdry wallet. Also try the Christmas board - loads of ideas there. Smile

Both mine love fleece blankets like these ones £8 from Dunelm:

And food /drink things like hot chocolate. Both like hoodies. DD would probably like hair products but she's vegan so the vegan ones. She loves stationary as well - fancy pens and paper.
