What to buy teenage girls for Xmas

Would they like the Juicy Tubes again? May not be the most creative present but if they liked it - and they arent necessarily items that you would buy yourself.

My 12 year old is obsessed by body spray and hair straightening creme. If someone bought her a basket containing body spray, hair creme and bubble bath she would be thrilled.

She would also like somethink like a magazine subscription or a book

the bookpeople https://www.thebookpeople.co.uk has some fab offers.

How about speaking to their parents and asking what bands they are into at the moment and what albums of theirs they already have and going down to Virgin. You can probably get them a cd for about £6-7 each. Plus, CDs are relatively inexpensive to post.

I agree that with £10 you'd be better of buying a luxury item of make up, toiletries etc, rather than trying to get value for money.

Take a look at this thread:

At beauty counter direct you can often get free calvin klein, dior, etc makeup for free! You just pay p&p (i think it's about £3.95, but even so the make up is a bargain)

You need the relevant codes - which they should have in the above link. Also not sure how it works ordering more than one thing - you may have to make several orders, or possibly even to different addresses if you have them!

Do check it out - i 'bought' a calvin klein eyeshadow from there and i do feel like i'm pampering myself when i put it on :rotfl:

My daughter (14) would like trendy short pjs for sleepovers, other ideas are

- posters
- mobile phone charms
- ipod accesories if they have one (adsa, Tesco £1 for covers)
- hair/nail accesories/products as mentioned, always good to have
- handy USB drives (try Ebay I got one for about a fiver inc p & p- my DD uses hers all the time to transfer photos & homework & music)
- DVD sets for about £9.99 from supermarkets
- A mug with a picture of them with their friends on, about £8 on Ebay, my daughter is buying some for her friends
- A paint-your-own canvas set, you get a canvas and oil paints, great if they are creastive, I am getting one for my DD as she is studying art and would love it they are quite cheap too, I think I saw one for about £3.99 inc paints. Similar to this!
- Quality make up brushes and removal wipes
- bluetooth Dongle (if their computer is not bluetooth- most arent, will enable them to tranfer ringtones/music/pictures free to bluetooth devices like mobiles.
- Webcam

Hope that helps!

La Senza usually do a BOGOF offer at this time of year on nightshirts which brings them to £10 each. They are t-shirt material and come in a drawstring bag of the same material as the nightshirt. When they are packed in the lovely La Senza boxes with smelly beads they make a very nice pressie

Ooh i'd second that - or some knickers (5 for £12 i think) or bra/knicker sets if you know their size. As a teenager i'd've really liked this - makes you feel grown up when they come in posh packaging. Plus i'm sure the parents would approve - they make pretty sturdy underwear - nothing ann summersy if you know what i mean

They have lots of nice sets in boots, and lots are on 3 for 2
