Can anyone suggest a girly perfume for a 13 year old.

My DD1 is 12 and she's asked for lacoste touch of pink. She had Britney one for her birthday and always has the cheaper ones-So..., exclamation etc.

There are loads of sweet perfumes aimed at teens -some of the kylie ones and by other pop stars and they're generally pretty reasonably priced

An interesting thing happened to me this morning in Boots. I got one of the No7 Compact Trimmers and used a pinkie, so only 99p to pay. However, I also earned another pinkie from this transaction Even the lovely SA seemed a bit confused! I wonder if it's because it was originally £11.99, so even after pinkie the till thinks I've 'spent' over £5.00? A nice little mini-glitch if this is the reason - I assume it would also apply to the other No7 electrical items too

Thank you everyone - did my 1st Boots bargain shop today using hints and tips from here. Managed to get the pedicure set using the pinkie and got my 1st till spit (didn't realise that the SS produced them), so went back round and bought one of the no7 heated eyelash curlers and 5 bottles of Toni & Guy Shampoo and paid an amazing £2.24 after using a pinkie and ts. Was a tad confused with the second shop as it produced yet another ts - not that I'm complaining:rotfl:

Does everyone use their advantage cards when combining coupons? Wasn't sure wether to or not

My 9 yo has asked for some more perfume for xmas, I got her the Bratz one for £2.50 in the sale earlier in the year which will do nicely but might get the Pudsey one too if I can.

I really like the Hugs for Her Pudsey Children in Need one.

I'm 35 (!), but I think it's the kind of smell a teenager would like ...

Not sure how the other poster did it, but I did it with:

No7 pinky
No7 till spit
£5 off electrical voucher from mailing

Total to pay: £4.99 (I added in other items to cover how cheap the deal was, but not even that much. Pick your SA carefully!)

Thanks for your help so far skibster. I have a No 7 pinky but no till spit. I also have a £5 off electrical voucher from a mailing, but the T&Cs state that I have to spend £30 or more. Surely I can't use this?

Hi CPG I asked a SA the same question and she recommended Anna Sui. But personally, I'd go for this:

http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=641613&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

I can't understand why Boots aren't promoting this better, as the site doesn't mention the detachable Pudsey mobile charm that's included.* Btw, it smells lovely too

ETA: Or that it's actually 100ml

Yes you can as the mirror was originally over £30 and the till seems to recognise that. I did precisely this and got the mirror for £9.99. Sadly there are no ss tills in this area to get the till spits as well. But good deal nonetheless.

Is that the one that comes in a bottle that looks a bit like a handbag? Blue colour?

I had forgotten all about perfumes like Exclamation - my best friend at school loved this - I swear she used to take a bath in the stuff each day

Ooh, feeling all nostalgic now

Off to the Retail Park tonight to use my fragrance voucher on something for Mr BTVB - can't be bothered to pay to park to go to the Christmas "Event" in the city centre. Mr BTVB is working late tonight but I need to stop off at his office first and nab all my vouchers back from him

Back to perfumes quickly - isn't the Britney one currently on offer?
