What should we get for my bestfriend's birthday?

What should we get for my bestfriend's birthday?
She's gonna be 14, and she likes green day, nirvana, 30 seconds to mars, the avengers and sherlock. I have two other best friends and we're gonna put our money together so we'll have about £60. She likes designer brands like Abercrombie and Hollister so we were gonna get her something from there but last time someone got her that she said she would have preferred just the money. Concert tickets are a bit of a pain because neither of my other friends would go with her and I can't afford to pay for hers and mine. Last year we decorated her locker on her birthday and I made her a painting of whatever she was obsessed with at that time and a scrapbook with photos in from the past year.
Any ideas?!

I'm not knocking someone else's idea, just a product.
Personally, I would NOT go with iTunes, I would do other gift cards/certificates. I USED TO shop at iTunes all the time, but no longer.
ITunes is limited in what they sell (mainly media & apps) and their customer service (or lack there of) sucks and their cloud is useless for older media. I've spent HOURS trying to access older songs & videos. In the end, I had to contact iTunes and list each & every INDIVIDUAL video, song, invoice #. Even though the media was 'in my cloud' - I was not allowed to access it to put it on my new computer. Now, I have to go through a purchase and refund process with them.

Anyways...

Having said that:
I would get your friend an Amazon or PayPal gift certificate. Both these certificates/gift cards will give your friend access to just about all the things related to what you mentioned your friend likes: music (mp3 & HTF cd's), DVD's (movie & tv series), clothes (cool band jacket patches), memorabilia, decals, phone covers, photos, autographs, etc. Your friend can choose from thousands of items that she likes and get what she wants.

Amazon.uk carries all sorts of stuff. I buy all my music and a ton of other band related merchandise through Amazon - their prices are great, their customer service is excellent and I've never had a problem with their cloud.

PayPal is primarily used for eBay - but MANY other sites now accept PayPal, including sites like the VyRT store (they sell 30 Seconds To Mars ARTIFACT stuff). Ebay is another great site for all sorts of stuff - heck, they sell just about everything (except digital media).

***If you can get your hands on a copy of the Italian GQ magazine - it has Jared Leto (lead singer of 30 Seconds To Mars) on its cover. You could print out a receipt for the gift certificate and put it inside the pages of the magazine where the article is. So, it's like a present inside a present. :-)
Here's what the magazine, featuring him, looks like:
