2015 Annual Christmas Gift List Ideas for TEEN GIRLS

[scottmel]

It's a monthly subscription box, if you pay for a year its $10/month. I've seen photos of the box every month for the past year and it's always packed with snacks/candy even the occasional drink. My kids go to Disney and spend TONS of money in the japanese pavilion on snacks and stuff. They said it will be like having the pavilion delivered to them every month LOL

Thanks! Looking at tokoyo snacks too! Both look similar. Any reason you chose thev10.00 box over next size up? Snack vs full size is that only difference? My dd loves that japan building. Wish thru had pokemon or animae box too!!!

Do you think the smaller box is fine, or should I go for the big box?

The small one looks too small to me I was going to do 3 months bigger size can always renew for Easter etc.

That's a great idea! I was a little apprehensive about signing up for a year, but DD has a spring birthday, so I could renew then. I agree that the snack size may be too small.

We gave them each a subscription so I went with the small. Check this one out: http://anime-bento.com/ I can't vouch for it but it looks cool!

Scottmel-back to your Ukuele idea...my DD (18) wanted one last year so we gave her cash towards one she picked out. She had great success with this site http://www.theukulelesite.com/ . They are in Hawaii on Oahu and ship to the mainland for what I consider to be reasonable and fast.
Dont know if you have seen this before, but it is from ThinkGeek and is a DIY guitar pick punch. Cheap and cool-who doesnt like that? Got one a few years back for the kids and they love it.

My dd 13 LOVES her Posh Pak that I gifted to her last year (and haven't stopped). Another great box that we have gifted for birthdays is IBBeautiful. I think either would make a nice holiday gift for a pre-teen / young teenager.

She loves clothes from Pink (I buy gift cards from Raise or whichever site is offering the best discount before I head to the mall or online).

She's quite a girly girl, so makeup, body sprays and different scents of hand sanitizer are always a hit too!

My DD18 loves to cook. She always comments on the cute aprons she sees when we are out shopping, so I plan to buy her one for Christmas.

Great minds think alike, I got the guitar punch last year. Great idea on the ukele link. I am going to have her pick out a few models and then surprise her with one. Hope this is not a waste b/c to me this seems like a mini guitar and she has 3 very high quality expensive guitars so what is the purpose of this ukulele I ask??? Thanks much!

That is so cool. I wish I knew about these when DS played guitar!

And yep, money is always a great gift for teens. They need it for gas, food, and fun. If you DD likes beauty items, there's always great packaged gifts or dollar items around the holidays that make great little gifts for teen girls.

I wish I could still get away with the little packaged gifts that the dollar store and Ulta sell. She has discovered "good stuff" and now wears better stuff than I do! Lots of Too Faced cosmetics and VS body items. Sorry honey, but your tastes are too rich for my budget, she is on her own!

My DD loves Hot Topic so much, she got a job there during high school,lol. She's off at college now, and the closest HT is hours away, but she shops online. All the Studio Ghibli stuff they have now is great, and being a fan since 1988 (the movies weren't even available in the US), I have bought most of it for her or myself. As is the case with many Hot Topic devotees, DD was never into Uggs, North face, Vera Bradley, or the "popular" things. She also likes the Look Human website for shirts, Loot crate subscription boxes, and Sephora/Ulta for the sales-56 bottles of nail polish and counting...
She still plays her Nintendo 3ds xl, and at her university, the old Nintendo Game Cube is all the rage-luckily we still have ours. Also into making her own natural bath and body products/aromatherapy and the band Set it off.

This is exactly my niece. She will go away to college next year. Last year I got her a Loot crate subscription for Christmas. Not sure about this year. I am at a loss. How many nail polishes can one person own.. how much junk for hot topic... she has shelves of Manga and I am pretty sure she owns everything that they sell at Think Geek. I think she would like the make your own natural bath/body products. I may look into kits or ingredients for that. If you think of anything please post. I need ideas.

On shark tank last year they had a local company called Simple Sugars on and they were from Pittsburgh, where I live, so I wanted to give them a try. DD16 loves it! Their stuff is super smelling and all natural. She has terrible ezema (spelling) and I order the one made with special oil. Worked wonders and their face stuff is great too. I ordered her COFFEE b/c she loves starbucks and this is the only face/body stuff she uses. They sell cute gift packs of it too..

can I just say I love this thread! I wouldn't know anything if it wasn't for these boards. Keep it coming!
Has anyone bought anything from Society 6? I saw some cute decor my niece might like. Just wondering on quality/experience.

 

[kalliyan1]

I know some of you mentioned being interested in this Segway. I saw this and thought I'd share. I have never bought anything from this site myself

Dd received one of the Instant Fuji cameras for her 13th birthday (grandma gave it to her). It takes decent pictures but the film is expensive.

For Christmas we're giving her an ipad with more memory. Looking forward to reading this thread for more ideas!
