typical ED gifts?

[npeters]

I've now lived in ED for going on 8 months and am really enjoying the area. There are a couple of events with friends coming up, and I'd like to send them some gifts. Are there any items that are traditional or representative to this area? I know it's a vague question, but I'm just throwing out a fishing line for some ideas.

Thanks so much for any tips!

don't worry about Edcam...

Go to Captured on the Rye. Perfect gifts for the Ed-er

Thanks, all. Appreciate the feedback!

@lightweight -- Are you referring to the artwork itself? Or is it pointing to shelves of things made in ED in some shop?

[lightweight]

The framed print :)

[npeters]

Gotcha. Not quite right for the recipients, but it's fun. Thanks for the ideas!

Overpriced trinkets or cupcakes is the way forward

Peckham Spring Water. Local speciality.

Hand crafted tobacco pouches or Moustache Wax are a must.

And for the men, maybe a tartan dickie-bow or tub of organic Shea Butter.

There's a nice lady called Sarah who sells her own home-made East Dulwich-branded jams and pickles outside Franklins farm shops on occasion - would make a nice gift.

Thanks so much to everyone else who has chimed in. Really appreciate the ideas.

Oh thankyou for the lovely comment ,it sarah here and just to say when I'm not outside franklins shop you can buy my jams and jellies inside x

Not necessarily E.D. specific, but there's an art/frame shop in Brixton Village that features S. London-based prints and posters. I know I've seen ones for South Norwood and Brockwell Park at least. They're contemporary, but done in a vintage/Art Deco-y style.

M&S vouchers?

[TillieTrotter]

There are a couple of local authors who I think sell their books in Cheners. Or do a search on here.

[npeters]

I'm all set. Bought an assortment of things (including some of Sarah's jams & jellies from Franklins). Thanks again for all the recommendations!
