Hi, I am at a complete loss as to what to get my 16 year old niece (just 16). We have a $50 limit. I would love any suggestions. Thanks

A very simple black clutch bag. It's amazing how useful they can be.

Ipod? then an itunes voucher. Gamer? eb voucher. Girly? maybe a haircut/blowdry at a salon, or manicure etc Bookworm? amazon vouchers. Anything to add to a hobby she has.

Someone on here recently suggested one of those wrecking journals. I bought two from book depository for my teenage nieces.

At 16 I liked getting music store vouchers the best, then I could buy what I wanted. I was already fairly picky with cosmetics and perfume and the like.

JB Hi-Fi voucher. DP's uncle always gets these for his younger, teenage cousins and they're always a hit. EFS This post has been edited by Joey11: 12/12/2012, 02:39 PM

Maybe a nice towel or backpack from a surf shop.

I have a 15 year old and I am getting her: an underwater camera, Kiki k stationary, antique bottle, priceline voucher, Ally voucher, itunes card, Typo pens, iphone case. At 15 she definitely has her own taste and it would be a waste of money if I tried to buy her make up or clothes etc.
