What are you guys getting ya'll's little sister for christmas? I need ideas, but I don't want to get her smth cheap or smth she'll never use. I was gonna get her a cute coloring book with some fancy markers, but that seems so overused and she'll probably never use it except on christmas. I was also thinking abt those cute little braclets with all those charms, but i don't think she's wear it 'cause the only place she really goes to is school and she's not the type of person to draw attention to herself by wearing a noisy bracelet.

She's a teen. She's not into make up, she does like skin care, but she's not too meticulous abt it 'cause she doesn't want to break out (she has sensitive skin). She likes cute things, but I just bought her a canopy bed and we own a bunch of plushies that fill it up, so I'm not sure how to incorporate 'cute' into a gift that doesn't take up room space. We share a room, and it's decently sized, but we have so much that there's no room for anything else. Posters and wall kicknacks are nice, but she doesn't have any wall space.

Someone help a girl out

    headphones, digital camera, hair accessories, hair curler? waterbottle, gift cards, shirts/pants, shoes, jewelry. you know her best so whatever you get will be fine! maybe some everyday things that she runs out of fast?

    Instead of buying gift to store in bedroom, maybe gift card would be better since she can decide what to buy?
    If she’s into a game like example roblox or any kind game, then maybe gift card for those. So she can buy herself cosmetics to character or spend it on something in game.

    If your little sister is into craft stuff then it should be some kind of small “diy” boxes in stores where she can either sew, knit, puzzle and more to make something. Comes with instructions and not so hard with help of you, something you both can do to spend time together.

    You can also make custom card where you for example writes that you are going to take her out on cinema, including popcorn or snacks/drinks, That might not be so expensive and she can pick a movie she want to watch.

    My little sister love Roblox, she getting Roblox gift card this year so she can use it on whatever. Was thinking about buy Pokémon card to her until I saw price on those boxes, hella expensive.

    You can get her a cute coffee mug. If possible, you can customise it, if you have the skill and time, you can embroidery your sisters, initials on a bag or pouch that she uses often.
    If you have the time I suggest you to watch this Emma Chamberlin Christmas gift ideas video on her podcast, YouTube channel called anything goes, there are a lot of great gift ideas.

    Yk I think you might be onto smth. She did say she wanted a full sized mirror since her last one broke. But those are super expensive I'm mostly checking online since I don't have a car to take me anywhere, but I think I'll have to try thrift stores on my day off. I'll go on the bus or smth. Tysm

    See, I wanted to get smth interactive for a present, but with her, she's on her phone all day and in her bed when she's not at school, so I don't think it's gonna help to get her smth like that. I was planning on getting her a gift card, too, but I just feel like they're so lazy (no offense to anyone who gives people gift cards). But also, I might just have to get her one since I'm running out of options

    Also, my little sister plays roblox, too, but she's not the kind of person that likes spending money on online games, she thinks it's better spent on clothes or other things. And I would buy her clothes, but she likes pretty clothes, but she won't wear it 'cause we don't really go out much. Might as well just take her to dinner instead

    She doesn't really dabble in arts and crafts Well, she likes doing stuff that'll keep her from being bored, but she absolutely loves her phone. It's her hobby atp, but she gets bored of it sometimes, too. But once she's bored, all she wants to do is sleep. Maybe I can get a crochet kit for her just to get her into smth else other than that phone lol

    Omg, don't even get me started on her freaking bag. It weighs a ton with how much stuff she has on there, from mini plushies and keychains, to anything she can hook on there. Jesus, I will NOT contribute to that mess lol. One time, some stuff fell off at school, and she didn't even notice until the next day. She has so much on there that she can't even tell what's missing and what's not

    Ohh, I think I saw like little snippets of that video online, didn't really pay attention, but there was some good stuff on there, I think. Also, the coffee mug idea is cute, but she doesn't like using them she's weird, she only like using this tall glass that we have set aside for her. It's her special cup lol

    Also, I have 0 skills in those kinds of things. Always interested, but never really tried it aside from that one time when I was a kid and my older sister came back from grandma's house with a sewing kit and cute little patches with some pretty designs. I sewed (horribly) patches onto my pants, shorts, shirts, school uniform, etc. (I got into trouble le for that last one), and that was the end of that
