Any suggestions for a sheffield gift to send to Australia - specifically two girls aged 8 & 9?

Obviously not bulky or large but useful and worthwhile?

I saw some lovely 'Sheffield Steel' bookmarks in the shop near the Winter Gardens recently. They wouldn't be too bulky, and they'd be something traditionally 'Sheffield'

how much are you wanting to spend?

Two Sheffield Wednesday tops would be fantastic!!

thats what I was gonna say!!

I was going to say one United and one Wednesday shirts - depends on how girly they are really.

But perhaps the girls have the good taste NOT to like football?

if you don`t want to spend as much, shouldn`t be too expensive to send either.

who can blame em?? pants innit?:hihi:

A bit of snow?And a bit of grit to go on it.Mind you that could be expensive with it being so rare.

How about sending them each an 'I Love Sheffield' eco-bag? They're pretty light and can be folded up small for sending overseas - just the kind of thing that girls their age would love!

I think they still sell them at The Design Studio on Ecclesall Road and in a couple of other places around Sheffield too:

last poster beat me to it! eco-bag. although the millennium gallery has some good sheffield gifts i noticed the other day. or try the shop on pinstone street that has things like photo frames made in sheffield - near the lockwoods florist

Then a Wednesday shirt would be very apprpriate, with the way they are playing at the moment.

How about one of the books of Sheffield dialect and sayings - sorry, can't remember any names. They tend to be sold by the bigger Newsagents. Also W H Smiths and the Sheffield Shop on Ecclesall Rd. They tend to be smallish paperbacks, and so fairly light for air mailing.

Hmm, it's a nice toy (I loved my skipping rope when I was a kid) but it's not something that really shouts "Sheffield", to send all the way to Oz.

If you think the Heart-Sheffield eco bag is not their sort of thing, What about a t-shirt with the "I *heart* Sheffield" logo on?

Sheffield Museums have some Sheffield stationary/pencil cases/mouse mats etc... Millennium Gallery or Western Park Museum have good shops...

oops I missed reading the sheffield bit :hihi:

sheffield steelers shirts, puks, memorabilia(is that spelt reyt?)
loads of girls like icehockey!

Hmm - Bearing in mind, their Dad had to look on google to find out where Sheffield even was, sports stuff isn't going to be too smart... It's Sydney - so their staple diet is cricket & Rugby League anyway.

Made in Sheffield bookmarks is a good idea though
