18th bday present

My goddaughter turns 18 soon. I can't see her and can't go shopping to choose a gift
I usually send money. Should I do that again but up the value? Or send a nice piece of jewellery

What brands do teenagers like? I'm out of touch. Was thinking max of £100

Thank you!

How well do you know her? I’m wondering if you get jewellery if you’ll know the kind of thing she would like? Or the kind of hobbies/interests she has?

I think I would go for money unless you have a firm idea what style she has.

If you were to go higher with the money I would suggest a Tiffany necklace. They do nice ones with little pendants on.
But as it’s less I’d suggest looking at Not On The High Street. You can get all sorts of necklaces that can be engraved.
Maybe a pendant with ‘18’ on it and her birth stone.
They’re not too expensive so you could send a]some money too.

I could get Tiffany which would be at least £150 for a necklace with pendant I guess if she doesn't like it now, she may like it in a few years time

Whatever I choose, I'd get something quite small understated. Chain with small locket or pendant

My ds’s girlfriend likes Pandora jewellery and I think they’ll be lots you could buy up to the value of £100. Bracelets with charms are popular.

My DD Wears her Tiffany necklace a lot.
And they do a nice one with a key for her 21st !

I bought my niece a Pandora bracelet with a couple of charms for her 18th last year. She seems to like it!
