[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np:  It’s only embarrassing if you expect a quid pro quo when giving gifts.  I don’t, so don’t care if I receive a gift in return - I have always felt this way, even as a teenager.     [/quote]
Right, and that's YOU giving a gift--you as the gift giver, which is not the situation.  OP is not worried about the gift giver (her kid).  OP, and her kid, is worried about making the recipient feel awkward.  Many people DO feel awkward if they get a gift and don't have one to give back.

OP, I've got 15 and 17 y.o. DDs.  Something from BeautyCounter (charcoal mask or lipstick), Lush soap is always good, Sephora, Starbucks card.  [/quote]

NP. Beautycounter charcoal mask is great but...costs $49, lipsticks run around $35 each. Bit steep for a teen's budget.

OP, have DD go to CVS, the grocery store or Bed, Bath and Beyond instead. 
-Lip balms like EOS brand or Burt's Bees
-Small hand lotions (unscented is often best, since people can have very different taste in the scents they like)
-small holiday-themed candy like Lindt chocolate snowmen/Santas/etc. 
-cocoa packets (Land O Lakes makes tasty cocoas in flavors like classic, vanilla, raspberry etc., sold individually at Giant and nice to give--give a variety to each friend.

She could roll up colorful, fuzzy socks (at drugstores or Bed, Bath) to look like a cupcake -- search online to find images and templates to cut out a paper "cupcake wrapper." Very easy. DD did this for friends a few years ago and the "cupcakes" were a hit.
