Books, games and hobbies from the UK with delivery to Ukraine is a category for readers, gamers, collectors and anyone with a passion. Britain is the home of English-language publishing, Warhammer miniatures and the cult "Doctor Who", and British shops offer a huge choice of books in English, board and video games, comics, figures, LEGO, craft supplies and musical instruments. Things that take a long time to find in Ukraine are often in stock here and cost less.
English books from the UK
The most popular purchases are fiction in English, university textbooks, IELTS and Cambridge English prep books, children's books, graphic novels and gift editions. British bookshops sell new paperbacks cheaply, and Waterstones offers exclusive sprayed-edge editions and signed copies. Wordery is known for low prices on millions of titles, Blackwell's for academic books, and World of Books for used books at a few pounds each. Books are a convenient item to ship: they usually travel without problems, although they are fairly heavy, so keep the weight in mind.
Warhammer, board and video games
Britain is the home of Games Workshop, creator of the Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar universes, so this is where you will find the widest choice of miniatures, codexes and Citadel paints. Shops like Wayland Games sell the same products at a discount. Look for board games, LEGO and toys at Smyths Toys and Hamleys. Gamers will like British boxed versions of games and consoles at GAME and ShopTo, used games with a warranty at CeX, and collectible steelbooks, figures and merch at Zavvi and Forbidden Planet. The best time to buy games is Black Friday, Boxing Day and the big seasonal sales, and for Warhammer it is when Games Workshop releases new items and shops open discounted pre-orders. Please note: aerosol primers for miniatures and controllers with batteries have shipping restrictions, so check with Pokupka support.
Crafts and musical instruments
For creative projects there is Hobbycraft, with supplies for knitting, drawing, sewing and scrapbooking. Musicians order guitars, effects pedals, synthesizers and accessories from Gear4music and Andertons, and makers buy Raspberry Pi boards and electronics kits from The Pi Hut. Mains-powered devices have a British type G plug, and large instruments ship in bulky boxes, so estimate the dimensions and weight in advance. For knitting, wool from local sheep and yarn from British makers are popular in the UK, and for drawing, paints and paper from well-known brands that are harder to find in Ukraine. Hobbycraft regularly runs offers on craft kits.
