I have a few gifts picked out for my girlfriend for Christmas already, but she is going to student teach in Sheffield, England for 5 weeks starting in March. Any ideas for a few extra gifts? I can’t promise your name will go on the tag, but you’ll have a place in my heart 😃 ---

Antidepressants? ---

> [@Ximenean](#): > > Antidepressants? Uncalled for. Like anyone away from home I’m sure she would enjoy a care package of her favourite treats. Otherwise, with the variable weather in this part of the world at that time of year, where temperatures might range from freezing to pretty warm from day to day a hat scarf and gloves would be advisable. A book on[Sheffield](http://www.sheffieldbooks.co.uk/sheffield-dialect-2nd-edition.html)[dialect](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sheffieldish-A-Beginners-Phrase-Book/dp/0900660627) will surely be welcome. I live near the place referenced on the cover of _Sheffieldish_. It is actually spelled Beauchief but has deviated far from it’s French origins. Does she know the name of the school or the area she will be living in yet? I may be able to offer some more tips based on that 🙂 ---

**Made in Sheffield** is a good documentary which gives an overview of the Sheffield music scene in the 70s and 80s. However, probably not that interesting if you’re not into those bands. > **[about made in sheffield](http://www.sheffieldvision.com/aboutmis.html)** > > Buy The World Of Pink Grease DVD and the Made In Sheffield DVD from the filmakers themselves and find out more about the Sheffield music scene > [@](#): > > Made in Sheffield documents the evolution of the Human League, Cabaret Voltaire, Heaven 17 & ABC, who emerged from Sheffield’s music scene in the late 70’s. Their dream was to destroy rock music. The result was the creation of some of the most influential sounds in pop music. ---

Agreed. I guess she could listen to some Arctic Monkeys too 🙂 ---

Maybe something “The Full Monty” themed?
