Some people are just difficult to shop for! Mothers in law, teachers, neighbours, aunties… Wait! Do they love the UK? Yes!? Then we have the perfect gift ideas for you.
1. A Britbox Subscription
Britbox is a joint venture between the BBC and ITV and brings all the awesome British TV to you. Stream all the detective shows, period dramas and dry comedy that you can stand with a subscription to Britbox.
The easiest way to get Britbox in the US is to add a Britbox subscription to your Amazon Prime subscription. An Amazon gift card (and maybe a little set-up help will do the trick).
Bonus! Consider adding an Amazon Fire Stick to the gift to make it easy for them to watch on their TV!
2. British Tea
An absolute staple for all Anglophiles is…tea! Of course! Consider this selection for a gift sure to impress. The tins are also reusable and make cute caddies for office supplies and spices.
3. Tea Towels
Looking for a cute reminder of a previous trip to London? How about a cute tea towel to grace their kitchen with a bit of Britishness.
4. Puzzle
These puzzles make fantastically British gifts!
5. Hamper
In the US, we might call these a gift basket. In the UK, we call it a hamper and all the best department stores have their own. A lovely food hamper is a staple gift in the UK.
6. Great British Bake Off Cookbook
All fans of the Great British Bake Off will LOVE this cookbook (and - bonus - you’ll get to try their sponge cake creations!).
7. Dr. Who Tardis and Daleks Christmas Sweater
“You guys… This is awesome!!” That’s what you’ll hear your beloved Dr. Who fan say when they open this not-so-ugly Christmas sweater with a Dr. Who theme.
8. Transport for London (the Tube) Coffee Table Books
Two recommendations here:
Over the years, there have been some absolutely stunning Tube Posters. (I even have some hanging in my bedroom!) Gift art lovers London Transport Posters: A Century of Art and Design.
Any visitor to London will have noticed the distinctive patterns on the seats of the tube. Seats of London: A Field Guide to London Moquette Patterns looks beautiful on a table and will be marvelled at over and over again.
9. Doormats from the Victoria and Albert Museum
The Victoria and Albert Art Museum in London (or the V&A) is simply one of my favourite museums in the world. As it turns out, they make some of the prettiest doormats in the world as well! Here are some of the best.
10. A Shakespearean insults mug
This mug is brilliant! Let’s be real here, nobody but nobody had insults like Shakespeare. Delight your sarcastic, insult-loving Shakespeare fan with this mug.
11. LEGO Architecture London
This is for 12 and up… Way up! Older kids and adults love to put these kits together. It’s an awesome gift for lovers of Lego and the London skyline.
12. Themed Chess Sets
For the Anglophile who loved The Queen’s Gambit, you can’t go wrong with one of these chess sets.
13. British to American Language and Culture Books
Britishisms and mannerisms are amusing to many Americans. These books will bring a smile to those who straddle the US / UK cultures.
14. England Rugby Kit
Do you have a loved one getting up early to watch Premiership Rugby in the US on the Peacock app? If so, they’ll love this England away kit.
15. Subbuteo Lionesses Game
Subbuteo is a family football (ahem, soccer in American English) board game. This version features the Lionesses, England’s women’s national football team.
16. Horrible Histories Books
My 10 year old daughter loves Horrible Histories! These books are both educational and hilarious. They will be a hit with any older elementary to middle school aged kid and will make them an instant English history buff!
17. Beatles Themed Gifts
There are so many Beatles gifts out there, it was too hard to pick just one. Here are some of my favourites.
Yellow Submarine Tea Steeper
Sargent Peppers Bag from Loungefly
All The Songs: The Story Behind every Beatles Release
18. Hunter Boots
Festival goers and farmers alike swear by these boots. They’re stylish and practical!
19. For fans of “Clean Tok”
Cleaning has been one of the more surprising trends to take off on social media. One of the OGs of this trend is Mrs. Hinch. Fans of Mrs. Hinch will love her book and a few of her recommended cleaning products that you can buy in the USA.
20. British Celebrity Chef Cookbooks
British celebrity chefs have taken over the airwaves in the US over the years. And there’s so many, that you’ll be sure to find one that suits the taste of your loved ones.
21. Sophisticated Scents
Penhaligon’s is my favourite British perfumery. And I’m not alone! I got off the plane from London to meet my father in Atlanta and we were shocked to find out that we were wearing the exact same cologne: Opus 1870 from Penhaligon’s! If you’re new to this brand, I recommend one of their scent libraries.
22. Properly British Shaving Soap
This shaving soap in a wooden bowl makes a lovely, small, sweet smelling gift. The bowl is reusable either for more shaving soap or as an attractive container for cufflinks or other small items.
22. For the G&T Lover
British Gin is really different from what we get in the US. For lovers of great cocktails, try these gifts below with a bottle of Sipsmith!
