DD’s 14th birthday present ideas

Really stuck for ideas.

She is ASD and finds decision making very difficult. The only thing she is sure about is a galaxy light projector thing for her room which I have bought.

She has lots of jewellery and make up already. Good phone and decent laptops. Got AirPods last year which she loves.

She loves clothes so older dd has suggested clothing vouchers but it’s a bit boring.

Her main hobby is dance but she has everything she needs. She’d probably not say no to some new leotards but again without her input it’s very difficult to choose!

No ideas sorry, just blatantly marking my place as DD is 14 very soon.

Books?
Anything for her room eg beanbag, pinboard, posters, pictures, new duvet, blankets etc?

Money! That’s all I ever wanted as a teen, but my parents thought it was “boring” and I would only spend it on silly things, but that’s exactly the point! All teenagers love to get money as a present.

Bluetooth speaker, aquarium with fish (very soothing to watch) , tickets to the ballet

My DD bday is today and she has a gaming headset ,new riding hat , some clothes. I also did a little goodie box, colour themes with tissue paper with her fave things inside ( face masks, cleanser , lashes , pens , notebook , chocolate , fluffy socks , bath bomb, lip balm ) - that was done quite cheap .
She also loves dance , and got some turning shoes and dance bag for Xmas , would she like that ?
Or one of those turning boards to help with pirouettes ?

I was going to suggest a birthday hamper, like @MrsRusselBrand 'a birthday bag.

My DD enjoyed her light box for making messages for various occasions.

Money for clothes/their own thing really isn't boring when you're 14.

Don't buy vouchers though - a con at the best of times and a huge gamble at the moment!

Oh and a chocolate bouquet - so easy . I made this with all her fave chocs

Money is always a hit. For dd 14 at Christmas I put a hot chocolate hamper together for her which was a big hit, nice mug, favourite hot chocolate, hot chocolate stirrers & her favourite Lindt chocolates.
Costa gift card.

I’ve found someone who does personalised mugs with a hot chocolate bomb!
