Need inspiration for presents for teens

[MummyDoIt]

I have to buy for a 15 year old niece and a 13 year old nephew. I'm lucky if I seem them once a year so I hardly know them at all and have no idea what their tastes are and what they've already got. I don't want to spend more than £10 if possible. Anybody got any inspired ideas?

Chocolate?!!!

HMV vouchers a good standby

Paperchase stuff good for teen girls ... difficult isn't it?!

can you ask their parents what their interests are??

whsmith vouchers are good as they can use them for music, games, dvds or stationery etc

Parents are divorced so I don't have any contact with ex-SIL and my brother hasn't come up with any suggestions. It may well have to be vouchers but I sent those for birthdays and last Christmas so I was hoping to be different this time.

Girl - how about a "useful box" full of make up remover, nail varnish remover pads, bubble bath, face mask etc? Or a hot water bottle with a funky cover and an eye mask? Or cute knickers and socks from somewhere like Topshop?

Boy - no idea!
