Putting another slant on this thread, If you were going back and could bring back around 10 kilos of UK goods, what would they be. I'm going alone in June and will have a half empty case on the return flight for sure.

I usually bring back bikinis (it hurts me muchly to pay Seafolly prices) and dresses but, if that little blue symbol is accurate, I'm guessing that might not be your taste. Although each to his own.

LOL, I doubt if my wife is into Bikinis now, maybe if I buy her one though.
