mall of the Emirates, the Radleys you can only get in Debenhams and selection is poor, let me find one on line that you can order and get delivered to her in the UK.

We go to the Baby Phat in Deira City center.. but there will be one in AD somewhere
Also, they do all the matching handbags and shoes which my daughter adores!

Really? I've never bought a diamond before.

That would be good - what is consensus on purple gold? Class or trashy?

take a day off and watch MTV - they have an appalling 'reality' show about girls planning their 16th birthdays - not so much presents but the party aspects of it! It used to make good 'feeling ill' watching back in the day

purple gold is crap, it discolours straight away. the mouse's wedding ring had a block of purple gold and it discoloured within weeks, then fell out. We eventually replaced it with a sapphire.

I have checked the radley bags and they are bit too grown up for a 15 year old.

diamond it is then

i've never heard of purple gold, BC, what is it...

I don't think 15 year olds would appreciate diamonds...a designer bag or shades or whatever would be cool though...

I bought her a lap-top at X-mas, a mobile last year. She does like designer clothes, but it's always a risk with sizes etc (I've been lucky so far - got her a Kenzo outfit that she liked & that fitted!!).

Anyone got insight into the mind of a hormonal teenage female??
why don't you just ask her and take it from there....

I gave my god-daughter a gold necklace with her name in Arabic when she was 15. Bit naff if it's a gift here, but unbeliveably cool back home (I'm told!)

I was going to suggest that but thought it might be naff at home, nice to hear it isn't! Also charm bracelets apparently are all back in. My daughter was three last month and a friend of mine bought her a tiny solid gold heart on a chain, it is just adorable! Shakh do that!! infact get all three of them a piece of your heart

That would be unusual in Dorset! My kids live in Poole - not a lot of Arabic around there.
