Liberty Print Watch
Liberty is a famous department store centre in London. The architectural style of his house is also unique, and the building materials are taken from the British Royal Ship, which now has a hundred years of history. Liberty has also created a particular printed watch and uses prints for clothing. It has a printed fabric strap and a solid gold disc design for the dial, with no indexes, just two reliable gold hands, which are deeply simple and beautiful. While many call it a watch, you can fully utilize it as a choker. The watch’s price is around £55 and will vary from style to style. It’s easy to buy, either by going directly to Liberty or by going to his website.
Harrods Heritage Canned Coffee
While we’re on Liberty, we must mention another department store, Harrods, which has many specialities, including coffee. Harrods designed this canned coffee from the Heritage range to celebrate its 150th anniversary. Claiming to use the finest Arabica beans, it has a rich aroma and an eye-catching gold and green coloured tin canister with the words ‘Premium Coffee Supplier since 1849’. This tin of 250 grams of coffee is sold exclusively at Harrods. The price is 20 pounds, and can only be purchased in its physical shops or the official website!
Harrods Butter Biscuits
Biscuits are convenient, easy to buy and not too expensive. We may need to look better if you want to give them as gifts. Harrods’ butter biscuits are not only beautifully packaged but also taste heavenly. Each bite is a burst of creamy, milky goodness with hints of oatmeal grains that add the perfect crunch. It’s no surprise that these biscuits rank high in the biscuit world. This biscuit is also served in a sealed tin and costs around £8, as a good choice of souvenirs.
Stella McCartney Small Card Bag

The bag comes in several colourways: solid black, silver grey, yellow, pink and other mainstream colourways.
