I am far too much of an old gimmer to know what is cool and what not. I was thinking maybe ASOS? Suggestions appreciated from those wot are down wiv da kids.

You can do one through Amazon and they send her an e-mail with the code to use.

iTunes?

I had wondered about Amazon, although thought it might be a bit sensible! I just looked at Hollister but it looks like they only do gift codes in the states.

My 2 are 9 and 12 and they love getting Amazon vouchers. They spend ages browsing.

Amazon went down well with a 16 yo (boy) last year. He immediately spent ot while we were there (printed off a voucher rather than emailed it)

iTunes, amazon, topshop & jack wills have all gone down well in the past with my teenage niece & nephew.

I echo everyone else and vote for Amazon. You can get shoes and boots from there as well as everything else!

Another vote for Amazon; they have a very wide range and can cater for all sorts of interests. With a 16yo you can't guarantee that they'll be interested in any one thing (not even clothes) but Amazon will do for almost any interest.

I just asked DD1 (16). She said amazon.

Amazon and iTunes get my vote

lambbone · 18/12/2011 19:59

Urban outfitters- not sure if they do vouchers but a great online shop. Bet they do.

eatyourveg · 19/12/2011 15:24

I think there is a minimum £20 or something like that at Urban Outfitters. I wanted to get one for my dn a couple of years ago and decided to go up to Bluewater and get it in person because I didn't want to spend quite so much

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/12/2011 15:28

Mine would be happiest with Topshop or HMV I think.

loopsylou · 20/12/2011 21:02

Primark or New Look.
Or go designer, superdry ect...

Jellykat · 20/12/2011 21:20

Another vote for Amazon here
