Mini you
These customisable lego trinkets are the cutest little stocking fillers or little gifts for pencil cases, desks or even shoulder bags. Also, they’re only nine quid – take the opportunity with both hands.
£9
Turn it up
How pretty are these? The Airpod Max is the ultimate teen gift, and the choice of colours (orange for me, thanks) means you have five chances to hit the mark.
£499
Dare to dangle
Feel like pinching your daughter’s earrings for a night out? These 18k gold plated brass earrings from Gen Z dream-brand Revolve are all bling, no spend sting.
£30
Rapunzel rapunzel
The price on this is insane but if your teen is into curls, blow outs, beach waves and general high maintenance, you’re hit follicular gold. Also, you can nick it.
£479.99
Meow pussycat
Check your kitchen cupboards – odds-on your daughter is a collector of cute mugs so, you know, here’s another one to add to the mix.
£15
Perfect in plaid
If you’re fed up of your half-asleep son wandering into shot on your work zoom calls sans vêtements, these 100% organic cotton PJ bottoms from The White Company will solve at least half the problem.
£45
Love you deerly
There’s not a teen I know who won’t sell her mother for one of these collectables and this is the most adorable Jellycat of the season. A sure fire hit for 25 Dec.
£33
Christmas kiss
I have this Rhode lip tint from Hailey Bieber in four different shades and still ask for it every gifting occasion I can. The perfect mix between a balm and a gloss, it’s the only lip product you’ll ever need.
£18
Say cheese
The revival of the digital camera is real. Is it worth the stress of ten people screaming at you to download and send across the pictures from the night before? Yes it is.
£59.99
Down in one
At first glance (and maybe even your second) £45 may seem excessive for a cup but I’m loving the colour ways, sleek lines and cute chrome straw.
£45
Hello bombshell
Can you ever have enough pink in your life? Not if you’re a Victoria’s Secret fan (guilty as charged). Put a red bow on it and spray, buff, moisturise and spritz your way to your teen’s heart this Christmas.
£109
Written in the stars
I’m loving this zodiac gold pendant from Astrid & Miyu. It comes in all 12 star signs so has that personal touch for gifting, but the price is firmly on terra firma.
£100
