Trevor Sorbie is unheard of in the States. Thus, every time a visitor to my home sees the product they are drawn to it. Where did you get this? Who makes it? I secretly gloat that I have things they don’t or that I’m the first to know brands one would only know if one lives in the U.K. or is an Anglophile.
I picked these up at Boots The Chemist, where I regularly stock up on all sorts of products that they just don’t have here. I really liked the design of these containers. There is no such thing as tin dispensers here either and I am always on the lookout for the unusual. Of course, it’s not a luxury or high end product but but it’s still good quality, as most Brit products are.
My place is so full of all these little things and I am so used to them that sometimes I forget all about them until someone else points them out. I also like the fact that they can’t just run out and buy them. It makes me feel part of an exclusive little Anglophile club.

Anglotopia was founded by Jonathan and Jackie Thomas for people who love Britain - whether it's British TV, Culture, History or Travel - we cover it all. Anglotopia was started to get us back to the UK for a trip and it did that in 2009. Now, the goal is for Anglotopia to make our dreams of traveling to the UK whenever we want a reality.
The same with me, whenever I am over there I go to Tesco, Boots and M&S to pick up things that are different and after so many visits have become favs- I forget other people dont usually have the same products in their house. I try to buy british whenever I can
we live in the states and are originally
from the UK….we do miss a lot of the stuff they have over there
which is better than we can get here…..i don’t understand why they
don’t sell them here….maybe the states have an embargo on imported
British goods because you just don’t see them at all.
