Logobear (Newcastle upon Tyne) sell tshirts with local scenes & slogans,
- but international tourists are always wanting 'Union jack' gifts and generic UK / England/Scotland/Wales bits & pieces, pens, mugs, London bus, Policeman tea pot, tea towels etc

My local cash & carry used to have a few bits n bobs but now nothing. - Maybe Newcastle is too small to support much of a tourist industry appart from our excellent nightlife!

I prefere buying such things from a cash & carry rather than online so I can touch & feel so wondered about a trip down to M25 to fill my van up.
Can anyone recommend a gifts Cash & Carry specialising in souvenirs?

Many thanks
Phil

Elgate are always sending me emails about this type of stuff.

elgate do a heap of stuff, but most all of it is irrelevant, - I would rather walk into a giant warehouse of chineese stuff, and rummage through and discover stuff that I think I can sell.
Round Newcastle there are a few that have heaps of imported stuff that never sees a website - market trader stuff.
Where do London market traders get their tourist soveniers? (I hate trying to spell the word 'souvineer'!)

Most of the GB stuff I've seen on Elgate is the same as I've seen in London shops and attractions.

Not sure if this helps but I used these for my shelf fillers. Never knew what was going to be in stock but prices were good.
