My team and I will be working back in the UK for Christmas this year and I'd like to make them all a gift box/stocking of British things.

So far on my idea list I've got:

Christmas candle
Bauble (harrods?)
Crackers
Socks- but not sure if the 'socks as a xmas gift' will translate cultures or they'll just think I'm odd

And that's it. Please if you have any ideas of lovely things I can get them that they'll like and will make it a little bit special considering they won't be able to spend it with their families.

It's a team of 8, all women in their 30s/40s

Thank you!

Oh these are great ideas, thank you!

I've just had to google Scottish tablet because I was thinking as much as they're a great team I don't think I can stretch to an iPad each Grin

Paperchase do a range of baubles in different shapes, i think they had some London ones last year (big Ben, an underground sign, a telephone box, etc) - might be nice if you're staying in or visiting London? Plus they're usually on 3 for 2!

What a lovely idea. I’m surprising myself because I can’t think of very much & what I do come up with is mainly food or drink based. Maybe some little ornaments/keyrings of British landmarks or of a red postbox or traditional red telephone box.Teddybear dressed as a Beefeater? Diary of an Edwardian Lady stationery?

Fortnums tea
Posh marmalade

An individual mince pie.
A fridge magnet with a Union Jack on it, or another local landmark.
A terry's Chocolate Orange.
Don't forget the satsuma in the toe of the stocking!
