    the 'shamila' bracelet- think that's what they are called, the crystal bauble on string type - are well under £10 and if you get a gift box (£1.60) they look really good - the turquoise and black, hot pink and black looked the best out of the ones I bought.

    They are sold online at the well known marketplace, I got them for my daughter and her friends for xmas, they loved them. I chose a buy it now seller, and went for either 9 or 11 balls...

    check out Groupon, Social Living, Kgb etc offers for her area. You could be able to get a gelish or simmilar manicure for her for that sort of amount. I got one for £8 a few weeks ago.

    I have resorted to sending amazon vouchers to my cousins teen for her birthdays. Saves on postage, you just need her email address then she will have the full £10 to spend on whatever she likes :)

    This is a very good idea they are about £3.00 on amazon with free delivery my 14 nearlly 15 year old loves them. Another cheap thing she likes is make up and especially nail varnishes and nail foils which can be bought in pound land and home bargains really cheap. Hth
