While many gadgets sold on the high-street still fail to cater for left-handers, Anything
Left-handed boasts an excellent selection of everyday products, including fountain pens (with
specially cut nibs), scissors, can openers, cork screws and peelers. In fact, the shop's ever
expanding range now also includes left-handed keyboards, mice and top-notch joysticks. And, with a
thriving mail-order business, you don't even have to visit the shop to make a purchase.
Recommended.

Whilst shamelessly cashing in on "The King's" still lucrative merchandising market, this tourist
oriented Baker Street shop stocks all manner of Elvis memorabilia ranging from badges and fridge
magnets to champagne and jewellery. Of course, there's the usual selection of mugs, plates,
calendars and postcards, together with original magazines and commemorative stamps from the UK, USA
and Germany. Elvis fans will no doubt be interested in taking a look, although hard-core devotees
are likely to find the official Graceland web store infinitely more appealing.

Upmarket and distinctive gift ideas which include a range of necklaces, cufflinks and bangles hewn
from 2000 year old local oak (which has been preserved by the mud and silt of the Thames). Entirely
hand made, Stephen Einhorn's jewellery tends to be simple and understated, although the company's
gothic range is rather more elaborate. Not cheap, but exclusivity goes some way towards justifying
higher prices for his top-of-the-range pieces.
