Suggestions for teenagers presents please?

nearlyrich

I have a budget of £20 per teen, (nieces and nephews) They are girls aged 19, 15 and 14 and boys aged 11 15 and 21 (OK 2 are not strictly teens) I also buy for sons of a friend (8, 9 and 16) the budget is up to £10 each.

Has anyone got any fantastic suggestions for any of them I have asked what they want and they just say please get me a surprise

I was thinking of perfume for the girls, what do 15 year olds like any ideas?

Thanks in advance;)

I made up a manicure set for my 19 yr old niece this year.
A small plastic box with a pink lid, containing:
3 OPI nail laquers from here They retail at £8 each in the UK, but almost half that from this US site.
Some cotton wool pads.
Small bottle nail polish remover.
Emery boards.
Nail clippers.
Pair of toe separators.
Got it all from Morrisons apart from the nail laquer.

For the younger boys I suggest Geomag, they have some good sets on ToysRUs and you can go via Quidco. I got some of this for my nephew last year but he can never get it off his dad!

My 13 year old step-niece has informed me that the 'in' perfume right now is Morgan Love. I saw a gift set of perfume and body shimmer for around twelve pounds in a shop called TJ Hughes in Newport - Not sure if they have a website or other stores in the UK.

Hope this helps:D

Duct Tape wallets seem to go down well with males of most ages, or if the boys are more creative you can pick up books of how to make duct tape items which are pretty good (I spent an entire evening around a friend's house last christmas teaching him how to make a wallet for his girlfriend which he then personalised with her favourite band's logo).

Boring I know, but you can't go wrong with gift vouchers for places like play, amazon, hmv, virgin, etc for teenagers

It helps if you know what theyre interested in otherwise vouchers are ideal.
The 16 and 13 year old boys I buy for are into 'bling' jewellery, sovereign rings, chains etc.,at the moment so gift vouchers are ideal (Argos?) so if they want to put any Christmas cash towards what they want, if necessary, they can depending on what they decide on.
Last year I gave them gift vouchers for a sports shop so they could buy trainers or football shirts. Girls are much easier to buy for IMHO with toiletries, perfumes, clothes vouchers, hair cut voucher for their favourite hairdresser/music vouchers/ magazines for a year, etc.
I like to buy a cheap but funny present if I give vouchers so that they have something to unwrap costing a few pounds - Poundland/Home Bargains, have some good items for these.

Thanks Everyone, we have a couple of TJ Hughes locally so I will have a look in there for some ideas as suggested. The problem is all my nieces and nephews have at least 5 aunts and uncles buying presents for them so it's good to be original...

I find boys 11 up are the hardest to buy for.

That is so true, I can always buy earrings etc for the girls but boys:eek:

I usually go for PS games or DVDs:cool: but then have to ask which one do they want and it's nor a surprise.
