    Thanks so much Jess, its really helpful to hear from someone about her own age!

    I will print out your list and see what I can get from it! I remember now that her headphones for the Ipod are broken, so can definitely get her some of them!

    Thanks again Jess for being so helpful. Happy Christmas!! ps hope you get your toothbrush!)

    If you're buying headphones, please don't buy the iPod ones, they're awful. They leak sound in and out and the sound they produce is tinny.

    I'd recommend Sennheiser something like the CX300s or maybe the Shure E2Cs Sennheisers are cheaper around £30 usually less and the E2Cs around £50.

    Prices can go up into the £ hundreds but the quality is superior and safer for long term use. You only get one pair of ears ... Look After Them.

    Doubt you'll be able to get one without some serious work before xmas! Perhaps an 'IOU Wii Fit' lol

    There are other vouchers/gift cards other than top shop so hopefully you can find a shop she likes... have a look at her clothes labels when you are doing the wash! She if you can spot any brands appearing alot.
