London isn't just a place to live; it's an endless source of unique gifts. Do not shop at chain stores; all the best treasures can be found hidden away in a corner, on mismatched shelves, or hung under a desk lamp - that's the place to find those unique treasures!
Camden Market is where I visit for surprises. Its atmosphere can be loud and chaotic or lively and chaotic at the same time. Stroll past stalls selling vintage cameras and then turn around and discover someone selling retro tin robots dating back to the 1960s!

Brick Lane's Sunday market is an exquisite mixture of vintage heaven and urban art fair. Here, it's possible to get anything from Edwardian teaspoons one week to neon roller skates from the 1980s the next! There are no two items that have the same story, but all are unique and exciting waiting for you at Brick Lane.
I frequent smaller vintage stores in London when I'm in search of something truly special. Some stores specialize in mid-century furniture as well as antique maps and kitchenware. The owners of the shops can be equally fascinating - it's a blast to ask them where they found each item!
The most unusual gifts can create lasting memories. Anyone can buy you a gift card or chocolates; but receiving something as memorable as a unique vintage teapot shaped like the shape of a pineapple will provide lasting happiness for years. Finding something that is personalised to the person receiving it can make their celebration memorable.
The city's vintage scene makes hunt a frenzied affair. Every market stall and webpage small shop gives you the chance to relive the past. With luck you'll walk away with more than an object, but with a touch of charm nostalgia, a sense of reminiscence, and a few memories that are a part of it.
