The amount of body sprays my daughter has acquired in the last three months is ridiculous. I always opt for the mini-bottle.
Bath & Body Works
This has some sweet notes and a frequent flyer in her rotation.
Bath & Body Works
Let’s be real, the knock-off version works the same. And typically the girls in the age range recognize the shape not the brand. Your call $3 or $10…I’m going to for the knock-off.
Scent Theory Hand Sanitizer Spray, Raspberry Mango, 1 fl oz
Let the sweet notes carry into the tub, Walmart has the best price on the body scrubs. And let’s be real, stretching every dollar will be needed this Christmas.

Everything an almost-teen needs to survive the awkward year. Gaming, gadgets, and just enough cool to convince them they’re basically a grown-up.
Apparently, Fortnite is dead. Helldivers is the next game to come into my kids’ gaming orbit. *Note - you do have to have a PlayStation Plus Subscription or the game is basically useless. It also takes like 12 hours to load.
Hell Divers 2 - PlayStation 5
If they’re going to game for hours, at least let them do it comfortably (and ergonomically).
Homall White Gaming Office Chair High Back
Easy to use (a little sticky) but gives the hair a natural tossled look.

When my son isn’t gaming he’s playing soccer. Works great and you can set on an angle - it also doesn’t take up a lot of room in the garage.

I don’t much about soccer, but my kid wants this particular soccer ball.
Nike Academy Plus Soccer Ball
