[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 13yo DD. Her favorite gifts she got 2 weeks ago on her birthday were a pair of Snoopy slides, a pair of soccer PJ pants and Dicks gift cards. 
She would not use Ulta/Sephora gift cards.

Ask the parents for ideas/suggestions OP. Or ask what hobbies she has. [/quote]

She’s probably in the minority then. Most teenage girls don’t want Snoopy slides or Dick’s gift cards. Is she a tomboy?[/quote]

Mine would love! She's not vain like yours.[/quote]

Why are you insulting my daughter? I didn’t insult yours. It makes sense a tomboy wouldn’t like Sephora. But liking Sephora doesn’t mean my daughter is vain. [/quote]

Not PP, but “tomboy” isn’t typically used in a complimentary sense. So you might not have intended to insult, but….[/quote]

I’ve never heard that tomboy is an insult. In fact, I’m a tomboy. I am not into skincare or a makeup. But my daughter is. I did not intend to insult anyone’s child by asking if they were a tomboy. But there was clear intent to insult my child. Gross.[/quote]

There was a generation for which it wasn’t really an insult and was sometimes a point of pride.  But it’s definitely now considered an insult.  Lots and lots of girls are athletic or into outdoorsy stuff so implying that there is anything “boyish” about this is insulting now.  The more you know, the more you grow….[/quote]

Calling someone’s child vain because they like Sephora is extremely insulting. I  suggest you take your own advice and “grow.” Also I find it hard to believe someone couldn’t find anything at Sephora. They sell all kinds of shampoo, skin care, and lip balms. It’s not just makeup. [/quote]
