If you’re currently running round shops trying to fill a Secret Santa for a person you barely know, then you simply can’t go wrong with Muji’s London in a Bag. Literally what it says on the tin (bag), this is a mini wooden version of famous London landmarks, all in a nice bag, and has been padding out our Christmas presents for the last few years.
You get a London Eye, a Gherkin, a Big Ben, a BT tower and a couple of strange looking cars. Plus there’s a couple of non-descript skyscrapers – the tallest of which you could make your own little apex for, and turn it into Canary Wharf. Alternatively you could just rub some dirt into it, and tada – Centrepoint. We’re sad to say you don’t get a shocked looking nun too (perhaps she’d been using the Gherkin for other things), we just really liked the photo.
London in a Bag is available from Muji shops across London at the bargain price of £4.95.
