By the way, at guzz.co.uk, what you see is not all there is. We have a team of diligent guzzers you can commission as your personal shoppers from anywhere in the world — Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. We know most brands now have online shoppes, but some times, it is best to have boots on the ground for hard to find items or those requiring more special negotiating and handling. Logistics logistics logistics.
And for those really really special shoppes you know that only cater of actual visits, like that corner rare books shoppe at your fave high street or a hard to find kit bag to be filled with special items for your summer getaway, our guzzers are your personal shopper and steward.

3. Say Cheese, Darling! UK’s array of cheeses are second to none. Consider a wheel of creamy Stilton from Cropwell Bishop Creamery, a block of rich Cheddar from the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company, or a selection box from Neal’s Yard Dairy in London.

5. Luxury à la Britannia. For a truly special gift, look to British luxury brands like a classic Burberry trench coat, a timeless Mulberry Bayswater handbag, or a cosy Barbour wax jacket for those brisk English country walks or that mountain trek elsewhere across the globe.
6. Best of British Craftsmanship. Explore the handcrafted beauty of Church’s shoes, renowned for their meticulous craftsmanship, or Waterford Crystal, known for their exquisite glasswork.
