Coconut bras, reindeer poo and didgeridoos are among items bought by Britons wishing to use up the last of their holiday money.

UK tourists spend more than £268 million a year on souvenirs, gifts and trinkets rather than bring home foreign currency, a survey by Post Office travel services found.

Of the 2,000 people polled, more than a quarter admitted to shopping for items they did not really need.
