17 year old girl - presents?

Any ideas for a present for a 17 year old girl? Up to about £50 or recommendation for a shop that would be a good choice for vouchers? Thanks!

high street gift vouchers - there's a large selection of shops in the scheme.

Or Amazon voucher.

Driving lessons (obviously can't start yet)!

My 17yo DD loves make up, she got vouchers for Mecca for her birthday.

Thank you! It feels a million years right now, since I was 17

Naked eye shadow palette. Or Charlotte Tilbury.
Lush gift box.

Morphe make up has some amazing eyeshadow palletes and brush sets on offer at the moment!

I wouldn't do any high street vouchers right now, you don't know what might go into administration at the moment...

Driving lessons? For £50! That would get you one lesson here (£28-£35) and not even a first lesson because you pay for a double then. Also you can't just buy someone a random driving lesson. What if they have an instructor and lessons set up already?

I would go with a nice make up pallet and some bath bomb type things. Or cash. Cash is the best voucher going and as above, the future of most companies is shaky; an actual voucher isn't a good idea.

A Morphe eyeshadow set and a Chilly's water bottle.

Boohoo online or pretty little thing- or tell her you’ll transfer her £50 to spend as she pleases- that would go down best with most teens!!! Makeup is quite personal taste and a shame to spend a lot of money on something she might not use.
