London-Based Gift And/Or Voucher Ideas

6 replies

One of my colleagues is moving to London for a new job..

I want to get her a gift voucher for an experience or an activity or thing in London.

Does anyone who knows London have ideas what I could get? I don't know London well.

She's also pregnant to complicate matters 😂

Where I live you can buy "Indy Cards" which are gift vouchers to spend specifically in independent shops. I was thinking something like that.

So many options. Which area of London is she moving to / working in? That might help narrow it down a bit.

Thank you. She's working in EC1 and living very close to there.

What about a voucher to Somerset House or the Barbican? If they’re not “artsy” they can spend it on food. Or a gift card/pass to a yoga studio or an Art Pass giving discount to venues. Something from the Time Out website?

Would they appreciate a walking tour or afternoon tea? Not sure what your budget is but a (specialist/themed) guide book and some well-researched Londoner tips (uber boats are an amazing way to see London) are a nice gift without breaking the bank. The Tate galleries are lovely too. Sorry I’m rambling now!

How much do you want to spend? The Ned does amazing pregnancy treatments.

These are great!

Please do ramble, I don't know London at all so really appreciate any suggestions. I'd be looking to spend about £50-£100

My bestfriend and I just did a make your own lipstick experience near Covent Garden - great fun.
