British Gifts
Decorative Things can’t offer you a trip to Harrods or Harvey Nicks but we have lots of British gifts that you would definitely see in British gift shops and department stores. We sourced a lot of our British gifts over there and imported them for you. You’ll know the Beatles but you may not know all about Keep Calm and Carry On. Reprints of the original Keep Calm and Carry On poster, which we import from England, are super popular in the UK and now here in the USA. The WWII slogan makes great British gifts when put on anything from mugs to t shirts.
When I was last in London, I discovered some sayings on the wall of the buying offices of the British retailer Selfridges that totally delighted me. I feel the same way about shopping for British gifts for DecorativeThings.com that Gordon Selfridge felt about buying for his store. I want to share the quotes with you:
“Buying is a creative job, not a passive one.”
“There’s no fun like work.”
“Develop imagination, throw away routine.” |
