Once the Barbie dolls and stuffed animals have been relegated to the attic, teenage girls want gifts that make them feel sophisticated and grown-up.
Clothes and cosmetics are great for the 13-going-on-30 set, but wistful parents will be pleased to hear that despite the primping and preening, their little girl still likes to indulge her kid side with a board game every now and then.
■ Purrfect makeup palette
For girls starting to experiment with makeup, consider a palette. These convenient sets usually include a mix of eyeshadows, lip-glosses and blush in one package.
A trendy pick is Sephora’s new Hello Kitty Noir palette, $59, which includes 25 eyeshadows and 10
lip glosses.
With the deluxe Hello Kitty lip gloss and eyeshadow palette, and the included double ended brush, you can create hundreds of unique looks.
Visit sephora.com to see the whole collection and order online, or speak to a beauty expert and order over the phone at 1-877-737-4672.
■ Socially conscious fashion
Instead of getting your teenage daughter another sweater she won’t wear, try giving an on-trend gift that also pays it forward.
Christy Young, the co-owner of West Vancouver boutique Hangers, has made an effort to offer products that are not only stylish, but socially conscious as well.
Hangers carries a wide variety of Toms, a highly coveted canvas footwear line which ranges in price from $65-$85.
“For every pair sold, a child in a Third World country gets a pair of shoes, so it’s such a lovely, warm gift,” said Young.
Hangers also offers Volcom beanies in cream and black for $30 which are knit by young girls in Uganda. They feature handwritten tags on the inside with the Ugandan girl’s name.
■ Nailing that perfect gift
Help your teen unwind after a hard day of texting, let her pamper herself with a gift certificate for a mani/pedi.
Pure Nail Bar offers a range of services starting from $25 and with 10 locations around the Lower Mainland you won’t have to drive your teen far to get her there.
During the Christmas season if you buy $100 worth of gift certificates, Pure Nail Bar will treat you to a complimentary pedicure. Gift certificates are redeemable at all locations and never expire.
“Pure Nail Bar is all about creating a comfortable and social experience. Come in and lounge on our couches, sit back, relax and socialize while we pamper you,” said Dennis Chan, managing director for Pure Nail Bar.
■ Board out of their minds
No claims of boredom should be heard this holiday season if your daughter and her friends sprawled across your couch are supplied with a popular board game or two.
For teenage girls, Bree Gallaher of BC Playthings in Edgemont Village recommends Zero — a brand new party game with a fun twist — that awards players who give the least popular answer.
The game, for ages 12 and up, costs $30. BC Playthings: 604-986-4111. Or, let her pick her own.
Drexoll Games in Kitsilano lets you play demos in-store and offers over 600 games for purchase. Drexoll Games: 604-733-6511
She might just let you join in, too.
