gift card idea for teenagers?

DH has two cousins ages 16 & 17, his uncle (their dad) asked DH to get them visa gift cards for xmas, so I got them a $25 one, but I also wanted to add maybe like a $10 gift card for somewhere else. Where do you think is a good place to pick up a small gift card that teenagers would go to? They are both girls if that helps.

Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Fast food restaurants, Dominos or Papa Johns.

Lots of food places I have gotten my kids over the years.

Or maybe a nail salon gc or Amazon or Target, Walmart. Sephora, any clothes stores.

There are endless ones to get especially for girls Chat Icon

I would got to the bank and buy a Visa gift card, no initiation fee, if you have an account. This way the person can use it for anything, coffee, lunch, target etc .
buying a card specific to a certain store can be limiting.

She did do a Visa giftcard but wants to add a smaller giftcard to a specific store.

OP - I’d definitely do Dunkin or Starbucks. My 15 year old neighbor asks her mom to go to Starbucks daily and it adds up lol.

Thanks! The only bank I know around here that has no fee gift cards is TD Bank and I belong to Chase, unfortunately they stopped selling gift cards a few years ago.... so I ended up just getting one and paying the fee.


Looks like Starbucks is the most widely suggested so I think I'll go with that. Thanks all.

If you wanted something to give with it you could always pick up something small at Ulta or Sephora to give with gift card.
