ReplyDeleteIf you want to know more about this trip or you are planning your trip to London, don't hesitate to ask questions, our students will try to answer them.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! I would really like to find out what unusual souvenirs (except magnets, badges, mugs) it is possible to buy in London! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, Karina!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your question.
If you want, you can buy bibelots, plates, pens, little Big Bens and so on)
But I strongly believe that it was unusual to buy tiny music boxes with different wonderful music in Sherlock Holmes Museum. I expect practically everybody in our group to enjoy listening to them in long cold winter evenings)
It was also interesting to buy some things for school such as pencils, pens, rubbers, pencil cases, etc. When I sit on classes I always remember about London, `cause I have all these things.
You can also buy different post cards with picturesque sights of London. Furthermore, you can buy some playing cards with the Union Jack in case you need them of course)
Also, you can find some calendars and post cards on the topic "How to be British". They are really very funny, colourful and just truthful)
Well, that is all for now. If I remember something else, I will type one more message.
Thanks for asking)
Oh thank you so much!! Owing to some of these souvenirs, it is possible to tell you from other students in our school because you've got something that's connected with Britain!
ReplyDeleteHey Kary. Thanks for asking I would like to answer you.
ReplyDeleteWell, you know what people commonly buy when they visit foreign country, different nice trifles like pens/magnets/dishes/badges maybe and that's the usual. But England is just a little bit different cuz it's special for its culture.
1. For example I'm sure you've heard of traditional English tea and I can call it unusual souvenir to back home with. Certainly we have some analogues in Russia like Ahmad Tea but all the same there's a huge contrast.
2. As Vika has said little 'music boxes' can become wonderful reminders from UK, for example I bought one with Beatles' Yesterday :)
3. I can seem old-fashioned for you cuz I find HUGE just HUGE pens (that's not surprising already) like a wonderful present to your relatives and even for yourself. These pens can be "decorated" with different sights of London or with photos of famous people. I bought one for my little Sister and she's still enjoying it :D
4. You know British people're really really special for they character and so many funny jokes are connected with this fact. The most interesting moment is that British laughing at themselves themselves and that's why they even write books about it. Once again, as Vika said, you can buy thin books & booklets with pictures and read funny stories connected with British and sometimes they even made like calendars.
5. Timepieces. You can also buy timepieces with the pictures of London and to keep them on your wall when you come back.
6. It may sound funny to you but I find 'coffee beans in chocolate' like a tasty (!) and unusual (!) souvenir. I bought a hige number of tiny boxes with them and ahhh the were so tasty I even brought home a few. The same situation is with English Cookies, Donuts and French Pastry you know. I believe they can be spoiled but OMG that's gonna be a huge mistake not to take at least one cookie with you. At least a half of it. You just must.
6. And the last unusual souvenir I wanna talk about is OMG UNBELIEVABLE BEAUTIFUL knick-knackery from V & A Museum, you know. If Elena Vladimirovna didn't discourage me I might buy everything in its gift shop. There're sooo many gadgets that are pleasant for each girl! If you come there one day, don't listen to anyone and buy everything you wanna buy! :)
So, I hope I answered your questions. Sorry for so many bursts of memories ^__^ Thanks for asking!
