Answer 4

I picked up some Bikini Line razors for my friends while I was there, I have never seen them here in Canada anywhere, so they were a decent cheap gift, nothing they would have to keep forever, but it was something kinda unusual. I picked them up at an Asda, which is owned by Walmart out there I believe. And then some clothing that hadnt yet come out in canada yet, then the obvious suviniers.

Answer 5

Bring back a palace guard's hat. It's ok, he can't move. You won't even have to run.  

Answer 6

Pretty much the only things that London has that you can't get in the US are food related. For example, digestive biscuits sound gross but are good, squash is a type of juice concentrate that is yummy as well. And there are loads of candies that are not available in the US such as many Cadbury products, Smarties (not the ones you're thinking of) and Mars bars.

If you don't want your gift to be food you could still find items that are very "London" even though you can likely find similar stuff here. For example Pashmina scarfs are very big there and sold everywhere.  One of my favorite shops is Topshop so you could get something from there.

London is also full of markets that sell jewelry and antiques. I like my antique tea cup and saucer set that I got at Portobello Road Market in Notting Hill.

Answer 11

Don't get tourist stuff, that's lame. Get a bunch of great British chocolate. It doesn't have to be from a fancy chocolate store, just go find some chocolate bars that are really common there but you can get back home.

Something new is always fun, and then you don't have to worry about giving your friends some corny coffee mug or something that they wont really enjoy (but will have to pretend to)!

Trust me, British chocolate is AMAZING.
