Unique Sheffield gifts, ideas and suggestions please

[surfinjim 10]

My son is currently on tour with a well known play based in Sheffield. As is tradition in theatre world, last day of the tour (about 5 weeks to go), they dish out presents between themselves.

 

So looking for something Sheffield based and basically any ideas appreciated. Going to need to buy around 10 to 15, so price wise around £8 each max.

 

Will be a mixture of gifts for ladies and gents.

 

Already checked out http://www.sheffield-made.com butall suggestions (reasonable and clean!) welcome.

 

Cheers

They have proper Sheffield stuff and things (not just paintings and prints).

Good suggestions.

 

Marina Lewycka is another Sheffield author whose books I like.

 

Or a hamper of Sheffield produce - kelham island beer, and hendersons relish and ???? (not sure what else - perhaps just go with the beer !)

Who is it who does those cartoon style pictures, zombies at meadowhall type things? I'm sure they did postcard size ones which would look great!

Also check out the millenium galleries shop or don't forget Henderson's relish!

Don't know if this would help or not, but a year or so ago, we went, from Sheffield, to,stay with a friend in Milton Keynes for a few days. We took her a hamper which we had made up of 'Northern' foods. They were liquorice all sorts, Yorkshire tea, Henderson relish, a bakewell pudding, some Yorkshire boiled sweets, some potted beef, and some local bottled beers. We wrapped it up a a cardboard box and covered it with a copy of The Star!

Is it Pete McKee you are thinking of?

even if your not his work is something else for the OP to think about (we have some postcards of his )

Sheffield made penknives for the men and scissors for the ladies! the recipients must hand over a coin in return for the gifts. The idea being you never cut a friendship.
