UGG boots

Your teen would love a cosy pair of UGGs since they are making a major comeback (the return of Y2K fashion trends has begun). UGG boots are just too pricey nowadays, they’re reaching the £200 mark.

Makeup brushes

Makeup brushes are the perfect gift idea for a teenage girl. Using old brushes can be bad for the skin if not properly cleaned, especially for a teenage girl who has much more sensitive skin and whose skin goes through so much during that stage of life. So make sure to buy second-hand makeup brushes that are unused or have been properly looked after.

Pyjamas

Pyjamas have to be one of the greatest gifts to give your teenage girl. They firstly are the most comfortable clothes that anyone can wear, and since teenage girls adore sleepovers, they will undoubtedly be put to good use. Try to find some that are unused or barely worn to be the most hygienic.

Nail varnish

Nail varnish is an easy form of expression, black for the darker days, pink for the fluffy days, and everything in between. Nail varnish is a tricky one to buy second-hand (the same as make-up) as it can carry bacteria, so check if they have been used or not before buying.
