When we first went out to Brasil we took gifts. We spent an afternoon trawling the tacky tourist shops on Oxford Street to buy London branded souvenirs. What did we take out with us? A suitcase full of junk.
Temple Island Collection is one of the leading names in visitor and heritage retail for both skillfully designed bespoke product and our own successful gift ranges. They manufacture and supply licensed gifts such as the famous Red Bus range. The quality stuff that you don’t mind taking out to your Grandma and having her show off to every visitor who steps through your door.
I particularly like the MONEY Magnet range. The £50 note magnet (£2.99) is probably the closest I’ll get to holding one of those wonderful red notes.
Although perhaps a little too reminiscent of TFL’s branding for my liking, the Stripy Gifts collection will definitely be a hit with the tube-enamoured members of the family. The mug and tin set (£10.99) is a particularly good choice for stashing in a suitcase – at least it won’t get broken!
I’m hoping this Cheeky tea towel (£4.99) might encourage the husband to do more washing up. Unfortunately it won’t get me to dry the dishes – I’ll be too busy admiring that man’s lovely bottom! Yeah, perhaps not one for Grandma but I’m sure our cousins will appreciate the range.
Shipping is proportionate to the products ordered, but you’d have to be ordering quite a bit before it became more than the price of your train ticket into the London and shipping internationally doesn’t seem to be that much more expensive than in the UK – perfect for keeping your luggage light!
