Help - gift for a teenage girl!

[TiredCatLady]

So having a last minute Xmas change of plan and a friends teenage daughter will now be with us.

I’d like to get her a gift. I’ll be giving her mum a gift and it’d be awful to leave her out as despite my lack of Christmassyness I’m really not a grinch.

She’s 14 and “alternative” (no judgement from me - I was too), I haven’t the first idea what to get her! If anything she could be my ideal person to buy for.

Some of my best presents as a teen were aunties and family friends who had observed my weirdness and acted accordingly - I still have the pink screwdriver kit for example and a truly supreme pair of patent leather hobnail boots that my DM hated but I still wear.

Ideas very much appreciated. I’m happy to get her a voucher for somewhere (thinking she might like one for Dr Martens or Killstar or something as that’s very much her aesthetic but I wouldn’t hazard a guess as to exactly what she’d pick) but would like to give her something else to unwrap even if it does have the receipt in the bottom for her to exchange.

Nice skincare? Hair stuff?

Help!!!

Maybe an ear cuff (not too pricey but mildly rebellious?), some ramen (cheap too), big soft scarf/hat/gloves, those clear spot stickers (if she won't benoffended), maybe something from Present Indicitive that works for her interests if niche?

Oooo see oddly I could see a ramen bowl, chopsticks and a pack of good noodles going down well. Might have a look for a ramen recipes book.
I’ve got her odd little things previously but never spent Xmas with her and I know being a teen can be challenging. I don’t have many people to buy for, I can afford it but it’s hard to try to buy for someone who I suspect is a lot like I was at that age. Ie I didn’t want anything specific, it was absolutely nothing to do with how much it cost/was worth but certain things would have made my eyes light up because it meant someone cared.

Head into a HMV and pick up a Funko Pop or a band tee

I'm giving my 13 year old dd a sushi making kit and Converse boots - she got black ones for her birthday, now wants red ones. Converse hi tops are a bit of an enduring teen classic, maybe black/purple for someone a bit alternative.- or leopard print, glitter, so many alternatives.

Something warm, comfortable and snuggly to wear around the house. An oodie maybe. Or a fleecy all in one. My teenagers love finding something they feel cozy in.
