British gifts to take abroad

[SoTiredNeedHoliday]

Looking for some British themed or at least made gifts to take abroad for nice and nephews 6-11 and for their parents.
Any ideas?
It used to be so easy when 'shopping' wasn't so global!!! But now you can get most brands all over the world

How about a couple of the horrible histories books, my daughter absolutely used to love them at that age, and maybe some handmade fudge for the parents??

Ask them. I live abroad and am delighted when visitors ask if there is anything they can bring. The list is nearly always headed by Marmite!

They now sell Marmite at the destination ....... I'll look into Horrible Histories

anything else ?

I have given books and calendars about Britain full of photographs, books of nursery rhymes with words and music, fruit cake in a tin, homemade shortbread, Yardley's Lavender soap, Portmeirion china, and Dents leather gloves.

Typo

Shortbread
mini Christmas pudding
Whittards tea

paddington theme stuff
books if English isnt available as easy or cheap at location - usbourne see inside flap ones are good for 6 year old
percy pigs

Harry Potter books or toys etc.

Anything William Morris or Liberty(£££)

White company have some lovely London PJs with red buses on, ridiculously over priced.

What about prints are there places I can get posters or prints by london artists that don't cost the earth?

I’m probably older than your target group but I would love
Notelets (plain inside) with a British theme like phone boxes, Cotswold cottages, William Morris. Good for notes to teachers etc.
Oven gloves, rectangular style. I can only get mitts here in Italy.
A box set of a series I can’t get over here, like Slow Horses or All creatures great and small.

For kids, maybe an Annual like the Beano. Mine were fascinated by the humour, especially Dennis the Menace, Gnasher and “Gnipper” (pronounced like gnocchi).

Ummm yeah but they kinda sell Harry Potter books worldwide is many many languages.

There’s King and McGraw. The prices are for framed art. You have to click in to each one to select unframed to see the price for that.

Beano annual is a great idea.

Don’t think many 6-8 year olds would want a poster of St Paul’s Cathedral or whatever for Christmas… And posters are very personal, I wouldn’t give one to an adult unless I knew them and their home decor taste REALLY well. But you can give someone a nice U.K. calendar with anything from wildflowers to National Trust houses to old Tube Posters, which I’ve done occasionally.

I usually get stuff from Fortnum & Mason. They usually do a nice music box tin of biscuits which the kid can keep as a music box afterward eating. Also London themed books like “Paddington in London”, “Peppa in London”, “Mr Men in London”, depending on age. Horrible Histories is a good idea too as PP said.

Christmas tree decorations like a London bus, red post box or black cab?

Do the parents enjoy British (slightly rude) humour? If so, how about something by British illustrator, Sarah Edmonds.

Hopefully, it will get past MNHQ image detector

Percy pigs

Our friends in Berlin love M&S foodie gifts like tins of shortbread (they collect the tins), tins of chocolates, Merry Munch etc. Lots of nice foodie gifts for the kids too such as jelly beans in tins, choc chip shortbread in london bus tins etc.

Look at the London Transport Museum shop. M&S do great Christmas light up and musical biscuit tins

British sweets and biscuits!

Jaffa cakes.

Parents i would take british food you can’t get over there. Good tea bags, bisto gravy & cadburys.

Countryfile calendar

Teapot and tea

thanks all!
