Need ideas for 17 year old son - so far only has gas gift cards and a few albums on his list.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. This was really helpful.

My 12 yr DD - have not totally decided - maybe one or more below. She is not into make up but TOTALLY into skincare/spa stuff

- Lush bath bomb, jelly soap, face cleanser
- Facecare - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BFQLHRXK/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 or the Clarisonic.
- Hand massager

If your kid likes makeup, I recommend purchasing a gift set. The Sol de Janeiro perfume gift set gives you four travel-sized perfumes for $36, and the Bum Bum Jet Set is on sale for $30 and includes bum bum cream, shower gel, and perfume.

My daughter really likes the Bare Minerals Christmas sets. For $25 you can get four products for the price of one.

Other brands on my kid's list: Rare Beauty blush (she also really likes blush from Pixi as well as blush from Winky Lux, a Target brand that sells blush in the shape of a flower), Milk Makeup contour, ELF foundation, new eyeshadow, and an NYX Jumbo Stick. My other daughter really wants Drunk Elephant, specifically the bronzing drops and the moisturizer.

Scratch off tickets?

I do scratch-off tickets too. Some "fancier" hair care products, a fun soap (like Duke Cannon, Dr. Squatch), phone charger (since mine are always being "borrowed").

Forgot to include shower steamers.

Check out urban outfitters. They have some fun stuff under the “lifestyle” section.

But it explains why they never go through an awkward period! I wish my own daughter would take better care of her skin.

Please don't be down on your daughter. So much teen/tween acne is hormonal and lots of products and overboard exfoliating can make the problems worse. If you're concerned, set up a derm appointment rather than encourage her to get on the influence product bandwagon.

Went into Lush yesterday at Tysons and my 10yo was enthralled with the bath bombs and bubble bath bars. She said she wanted one of the boxed sets for Christmas. Just letting other tween moms know - they have pre-wrapped sets in the gift section of their website with different bath bombs and bars. Anywhere from $30-$70.

Any ideas for stocking staffers for a boy that aren't food?

A rolled up tshirt from a sports team, the gadget on Amazon that they use to remotely scroll through tik tok videos, charging cord and charging bank for phone, body wash, electric toothbrush, book, apple airtag, AirPods case.

Fun socks, travel size toiletries of different types to try things out, card games, rubix cube…

How are you doing that?

It will probably end up being Mixtiles. So, not a collage per se but a set of 6-9 Mixtiles that he can arrange however he wants.
