Presents for teenage boys - oh help help help

My nephews are 18 and 14, and live on the other side of the world. I need to buy them something quick, and it needs to be light enough to post. tbh I don't know them nearly well enough to know their taste, though I think they're fairly typical teenagers -music, mountain biking etc.

Any ideas/tips?

itunes vouchers are pretty universal. Or perhaps a DVD? What is your budget?

About £15 each. DVD - are there issues with it being another zone thingy?
Ahem - what it an itune voucher and how do I go about purchasing one? [middle aged aunty emoticon]

Amazon vouchers - you can send a gift cert. online. ( save you on the P&P Grin) / or choose a gift card that Amazon send out , direct to the person!)

This is what i do for DS1/2 (20&14). It always goes down well! Smile

itunes vouchers let you download music (and I think other things too) from the itunes website onto an ipod, iphone, ipad, itouch etc. You can pick them up at the tills at a lot of supermarkets or WHSmiths, or by them online here.

Thank you both - vouchers it is!

I'll admit it, I was going to buy them clothing. I wandered round a shop full of bustling teens and overloud music and thought, who am I trying to kid? Anything I choose they will HATE.

Thanks again.
