Passing GCSE present

My niece has today done very well in her GCSE results.

I would like to buy her a nice present (have no one else to spent my money on!)

Not being very "with it" these days, what would be suitable?
Many thanks

    If you're not sure what sort of thing she'd like then maybe a gift voucher would be a good idea? If she's going on to do A-Levels then maybe a book token so she can buy things for her courses.
    What sort of things is she in to? Clothes? Sports? Music?

    She is doing A levels, stating next month i think?
    She got A+ in art, i believe she is also doing that subject in A level
    Not sure about your suggestions but she is amazing at drawing!

    A token of some sort. She will enjoy choosing her own present, then.

    I got a really cool necklace from my auntie when I passed mine (only costume jewellery but it was amazing!) but if you're unsure on her tastes you can't go wrong with a voucher!

    How about an awesome day out? We don't know her.. what does she like to do?

    Could you set her up with some work experience/part time job at some time? Think outside of the box!

    How about offer to take her on a day out somewhere or something?

    If you wanted you could write/type out the offer and give it to her in an envelope to open. Use nice paper or design/decorate it yourself so it's more of a gift.

    Not really sure what she likes, don't see her to often.

    Ask her parents then...

    Maybe she needs a laptop for A levels, you could contribute towards that

    (I'm saying all this with no knowledge of 16 year old girls - all my nieces and nephews are under 6!)
