I'll be travelling to London and Paris soon and was wondering what i should keep an eye out for while im souveneer shoping. I want to get something for my boyfriend that is a) unique. A shirt or a cap seems fine, but I want something thats memorable and thoughtful. and b) something he'll like. My girlfriends will be happy to recieve a a minuature copy of the eifell tower to display in their room and hold on to all their jewelry, but I dont think my boyfriend will feel the same way. Boys are so hard to shop for. What should I get him???

First of all the word is SOUVENIR ...
The top five products are
1. Telephone Money box
2. Large London Bus
3. Capital T Shirt
4. Union Jack Boxers
5. Bus/Big Ben Snow Globe
... or you could look for the London Bus & Taxi Set Die Cast Model, Bus is approx 5" (13cm) long, Taxi is approx 3" (7.5cm) long it will cost you approx £6.75 ($USD11.88)
... or Union Jack Fun Sun Glasses -These are not the pinhole sunglasses that significantly obstruct vision. The Union Jack is incorporated quite cleverly on the lenses. The sporty frames, with matching colours and anti-grip on the sides, they make a rather unique souvenir for tourists. They also have the word BRITAIN engraved on each side. £4.99 ($USD8.78)

I was suprised at the quality of the glass eiffle light up tower's they were selling under the tour de eiffile. I was asked by a friend to pick one up and now I am kicking myself for not getting one for myself. At 3 to 5 euros they are quite a buy.
Of course you cannot go wrong with some great sexy French underware for yourself and sharing it with your boyfriend.
My bet is if you give him both he may remember your trip to Paris better than yourself.

A bar towel from a British pub would be kind of cool.
