Looking for a British souvenir? Here is a great one: a handmade ornament of the classic Beefeater guard.

St. Nicolas bespoke, handmade ornaments are made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery, which originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century. This highly skilled embroidery technique uses gold wires and jewels for embellishments. Today, only a few skilled artisans can create these pieces, making each unique. Since 1988, St. Nicolas has worked with a small Christian charity in Thailand that helps disadvantaged rural women find work in their community.
