as the mum of an 11-year old girl, I'm just glad my DD hasn't discovered Joules - because I've had a look online at their womens range, and theres quite a lot of stuff of there that she'd like .

I'm honestly suprised, I love the Joules range for my youngest. I can dress him, my oldest - no chance!!! Even at 7 he has strong opinions on what he will wear. And there is nothing in Joules that he would even consider.

I guess my main reluctance is her size. At 11 and quite thin, she is still in children's wear, but with long arms, many items are just too small. They need to be tried on really.
Hence wanting to widen the range, with the possibility of using shops not just online.
Anyway, decision made. Thanks for the useful comments.
Must get off the internet now. Wasted too much time on here!

My DD is 11, tall and thin and we find a woman's size 6 or 8 usually fits rather than girls sizes of 12 or 13.

Give her cash then she can get what she wants

I don't know if this is possible but could you give her a card with an invite to accompany you on a shopping trip to XXXXX Wherever the shops are! (maybe with a sleepover included if finanaces allow) This would almost be like an 'Experience Day' voucher and you can at least see her buy what she wants. My local Countrywide farmers sells Joules clothing,maybe you have a farming/country store near you.

Ooh, joules have some lovely clothing! As girls or horsey or countrified as you want. Very expensive though, so maybe she wants everyone to get her vouchers towards one specific item. For example, I was watching a second hand cord skirt on eBay. It was Hobbs brand. It went for £32 in the end!

So I conclude there is no such thing available as a clothing voucher accepted in many places , rather like a book token is?
Nobody has provided me with this specific information, though I have received some good suggestions.
I have also received lots of people's opinions based on a misreading of my post.

Boo hoo.

But no, there isn't.

OK?



My opinion is that there is no point asking a question on here if all you want is an answer to that specific question. The joy of MSE is that you get loads of unwanted opinions and advice, and if you're really lucky, you get some abuse and unpleasantness too.

I'm going to be honest here...as a female I've never even heard of this Joules! I'm off to google it now!

I hadn't heard of Joules either but it has some absolutely lovely jumper dresses for girls.

Depending where you live most shopping centres e.g Trafford Centre have gift vouchers which are acceptable in all the shops.

Glad I'm not the only one who hadn't heard of it! Get her what she wants, it's Christmas. We have a 6 year old who keeps going on about superdry already!
