Since middle school, my daughter has skillfully prepared an elaborate PowerPoint presentation complete with graphics and links for everything on her wish list. Rumor has it not all teen girls are this … extra. If your teenager has yet to sit you down for a full presentation, here are some ideas:
DIY Candle Making Kit
I love how artsy these homemade candles are with dried flowers and essential oils. Very demure. Very mindful.
A Hug Stone
Maybe it’s because my daughter is leaving for college soon, but giving this hug made me cry actual tears. A kid always needs a hug from their mom.
Stud Earrings
The Flourish Market is a boutique in the Raleigh area that ships nationwide. The team there works with 200+ socially conscious brands that are driving to bring about positive social change. These earrings are adorable!
Strength Bracelet
Another Flourish Market find (with a great message to be strong no matter what.)
Engraved Flower Jewelry Box
I have a travel jewelry box this size and I take it on every trip. The personalization of this is ::chef’s kiss:: to make them feel extra special.
Taylor Swift Quote Pillow
Furbish is another Raleigh store that ships nationwide. These needlepoint pillows are standouts and she will use them now and I bet they will rest on the couch of her first apartment.
Fenty Lip Gloss
Fenty Beauty is a brand started by the super-popular recording artist Rihanna. But unlike some other celebrity beauty brands, her products are actually amazing.
High-Powered Hair Dryer
There’s a brand that costs twice as much as this, but this is the one Lola and I share. She and I have fine hair and the attachments help add volume (but don’t worry, if you have full hair there are brush attachments, etc.)
Ugg Slippers
These have been on Lola’s wishlist for the past two Christmases. (Don’t tell her, but she is actually getting them this year!) Her friends say they are super cozy.
Digital Drawing Tablet
Lola is an incredible artist and she creates such cool graphics with this. It’s small enough that it is also very easy to travel with!
Phone Stand
I’m picturing her Facetiming me while applying makeup from her dorm room. I can’t believe I’m making myself cry with all these gifts. (Help!)
Floral Resin Keychain
This small, sweet keychain is so well-made. I love the initial to give their car key ring a personal touch.
Laneige Lip Kit Minis
These lip kits are one of those things I buy Lola for Christmas that I wish I bought for myself. They are the perfect for chapped lips season!
Sticker Printer
The description of this has studying uses, but we’ve used it to print designs or black and white pictures in sticker form.
