As a teenage girl myself, I can break down what your daughter will want to be gifted on Christmas day…

Stocking -

Get her a candle! Women tend to love candles as they are relaxing. Consider scents like vanilla, lavender, or festive holiday aromas. Anything perfume and makeup is perfect… get her an eyeshadow palette or some lip balms. I can confirm that every teenage girl loves a bit of skincare too - so grab her a face wash, cleansing wipes, spot patches, or a serum. She’ll love pampering herself!

Presents -

Does she like games?

Grab her a game. If she loves a classic board game - get her one!! Who doesn't love them? Opt for timeless classics like Monopoly or Scrabble. Does she like video games? Maybe even a game that 2 people can play at once (or more) - a multiplayer game that you can enjoy together.


Does she like movies and TV shows?

Get her some merchandise! Or a meet and greet ticket to meet the actors… Find merchandise from her favourite show or movie, like a blanket, a mug, or a poster for her room. If possible, look for local events or virtual opportunities for a meet and greet with actors.


Is she artsy?

Get her some art supplies! Consider a sketchbook, a set of pencils, or even a tablet for digital art if it's within your budget. Add in some vibrant paints or markers to spark her creativity.

Does she like reading?


Get her some books! Maybe even look at the ones she has already read and buy her the sequels. Check out the latest releases in genres she enjoys or explore book series that align with her interests.


Does she like keeping up to date with fashion trends?

Have a look on Pinterest for the latest fashion trends!


Does she like making things?

Buy her some craft DIY sets - DIY sets never get old! Look for DIY kits like jewellery-making sets, knitting kits, or even candle-making kits.


She likes music? A specific artist?

Get her some tickets to shows! Check for upcoming concerts or events featuring her favourite artist. Consider getting tickets for both of you to enjoy the experience together.

She likes technology?

If you can afford it… get her the device she wants. Whether it's the latest smartphone, tablet, or a pair of wireless earbuds, technology gifts are sure to make her Christmas special.


Get her some funny gifts too! Inside jokes, etc. Consider a custom-made funny T-shirt, a mug, or a desk accessory that brings a smile to her face.


Remember, the most important thing is to tailor the gift to her unique personality and interests.

Dubai chocolate is becoming more popular, especially with unique flavours and high-quality ingredients. But what makes it stand out, and why is it trending? Let’s break it down.


What it is


Dubai chocolate is known for its mix of Middle Eastern flavours and smooth texture. One of the most talked about versions right now is the pistachio kanafe chocolate. It has a green pistachio filling inspired by the traditional kanafe dessert. The filling is made from ground pistachios, sweetened cream, and sometimes a touch of rose water. Some versions also include crunchy kanafe pieces. All of this is wrapped in a layer of chocolate, creating a blend of creamy and crispy textures.


Why people like it


People enjoy Dubai chocolate because it offers something different from regular chocolate. The flavours are rich, and the packaging often looks elegant. The pistachio kanafe variety is especially popular because of its smooth filling and slight crunch, making it a unique treat.


The trend on social media


Dubai chocolate has gained attention on social media, especially TikTok, where people share their reactions and reviews. Many are curious to try it because of its distinctive flavours and how good it looks in videos.


Is it worth the price?


Dubai chocolate is expensive compared to everyday chocolate. The high cost comes from premium ingredients, fancy packaging, and branding. Some people think it’s worth the price for a special treat, while others feel it’s too costly for what you get. It depends on whether you see it as an everyday snack or a luxury indulgence.


How companies make a profit


Like many luxury products, Dubai chocolate has a high markup. The cost of making it is lower than the selling price, but branding and presentation make it feel exclusive. This allows companies to charge more and position it as a high end product.


More places adding it to menus


As its popularity grows, more restaurants and cafés are including Dubai chocolate in their menus. Businesses see it as a way to attract customers looking for something trendy and different.


My opinion


I really like Dubai chocolate. The flavours are different, and the texture is enjoyable. The pistachio kanafe version is especially good. But because it’s expensive, I see it as an occasional treat rather than something I’d buy often. Dubai chocolate is definitely interesting, and if you’re curious, it’s worth trying at least once. Whether it is or isn’t worth the price depends on what you’re looking for in a chocolate experience.
