Alternative to Amazon vouchers??

Looking for a present for a 14 year old boy, completely stumped. His parents have suggested Amazon vouchers but I really don't like them as a company. Any ideas on possible alternatives? Or do I just go for Amazon...

My son would be very happy with a PlayStation voucher or any food vouchers (not coffee
Shops like costa) but kfc, subway, Nando's etc

You need to ask his parents, or the chances are that you haven't got him something that he can use. Wouldn't you give cash in a card?

one4all vouchers or Argos?

I'd go with cash then he buy whatever he likes.

If you really can't bear to give Amazon vouchers, then do cash. My kids hate it when they're given others like one4all because we personally find them a bit of a pain to use as rightly or wrongly, they do buy most stuff from Amazon. I usually end up buying them off them - I've got a stack from last year that I still haven't used Angry

It just goes to show you can't please everyone, mine much prefer the one4all because they can use them on activities like the cinema, go ape or eating out rather than just buying things. I end up buying their Amazon vouchers off them because they can never decide what to buy HmmGrin

@Reallybadidea your kids hate it when they are given a gift card because they are a pain to spend? Really, they can always return them or donate them rather than you expressing an angry face about them hanging around your home unspent.
How ungrateful and entitled.

Cash is always best I think. Then they can spend it on whatever they like :).
