What are the best to buy in London when you are in holiday to bring as gifts for family?

Travel Tips
Stay away from the tourist shops - usually it's 'made in Taiwan' - if your family do love this kind of stuff though, consider charity shops - my mother regularly satisfies her craving for all things tartan in Oxfam, Save the Children, Barnardos, Age Concern - and you're being a good samaritan.

What are best buys? think stuff they can't get back home, or beautifully packaged food like jam, biscuits, christmas pudding - head to Marks and Spencer for an excellent selection. Make sure the packaging can withstand luggage handlers in airports...
If they like music or books, get the UK edition: usually the artwork is different, or there's added bonus tracks.
I have a friend who is a car nut, and I get him miniature versions of our dinky little European cars: he loves them.

And if you really aren't feeling inspired, there's always teeshirts...
