gifts for teenage girls - help

codemonkey

Help! I have 2 teenage girls to buy for - 16 and 14. Both really into their looks and use expensive products. Always have the latest phone and tablets etc. Have about £20-£25 to spend. I don't really want to buy vouchers. Any ideas? Their mum says to 'get them whatever'.

Try things from Hollister or Jack Wills - girls love that sort of thing. Or something from Benefit

How about makeup? You could get some bits from one of the cool brands, but ones you can afford, and put in a makeup bag?

Id probably stay away from make up, unless you no the shades they like, what about having a look in boots, they have some nice sets and probably 3 for 2 hope this helps

Savers have a nails inc 3 nail polish set for around a fiver. I got my sis-i-l one. I've seen them cost upto £12 each in Debenhams.

Keep an eye on the offer of the week and other deals at Boots. There;s a Benefit make up offer coming up soon, which is within your budget range.

There's a thread about the Boots offers here https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5069931

For a make up related present that isn't make up, look up the make up caddys on the Lakeland website. I've bought a few of the £10 ones for friends.

I managed to get them some benefit sets reduced in Debenhams. That plus a discount from my employers made them underbudget. Yay.

They get so much stuff anyway that although I get thanked for the gift, its clear they never remember. One year I went to the trouble of making them movie night hampers and they had no idea that's what I got them.

Thanks for the suggestions. Its been a long time since I was a teenager and I have none of my own.
