Scouse up your pad or share some Scouse love with these top Liverpool gifts

We’re a proud bunch us Scousers and we love to adorn our homes with memento’s from our amazing city.

Scousers, the proudest of them all. Whether red or blue, north or south, posh or salt of the earth, we’d defend our city and each other to the ends of the earth. We’re also a stickler for supporting local business and when there’s a chance to own a piece of local scouse history, culture, music or replica footy merch, we’re all over it!

We’ve rounded up 10 of the best Scouse products everyone should have in their homes, so if you’re a student, newbie or if you’ve got friends and family abroad, have a scroll through these gems and drop us a line on socials @TheGuideLpool if you’ve got something to add to the list!

Here’s 10 ways you can Scouse up your pad……

1 – Superlamba-what now?

The look of puzzlement on people’s faces when they clap eyes on our farm-yard fruity friend never gets old. From ceramic replicas to keyrings, mugs, tea towels and teddy versions, every home should have a Superlambanana. Get yours from any one of the National Museums Liverpool shops, or order online here.

2 – Get into the Kitchen

Liverpool has produced some of the finest chefs and restaurants. When it comes to recreating your favourite recipes at home, you simply must have Nisha Katona’s Mowgli Street Food and Onwards & Upwards from the amazing Paul Askew, in your cook book collection. Mmmm bunny chow for tea anyone?

3 – The Ultimate Scouse Tipple

What’s your favourite flavour of Liverpool Gin? It’s the rose petal one isn’t it? Valencian Orange? Ahh you’re an original Liverpool Gin kind of gal! Did you know you can make your very own blend with a personalised Liverpool Gin bottle label?

6 – This is Anfield….Or Goodison

Fanatical about football? Chances are you have either a framed/ signed shirt on your walls or a ‘This is Anfield/Goodison Park sign on your stairs! If you like your postie or visitors to know which persuasion you are, you could always get a house sign with the club badge on. Official reds fan store here, Blue Noses this way.

We’ve gone spotty, stripey and this year we’re in for a surprise – but one thing is for sure, we all adore the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and Matalan pyjamas. Every year a new design is released and every year they sell like hot cakes – all helping to provide first class care and develop research as our world class children’s hospital!
