It is worth checking each individual electrical implement they plan on
bringing.Many appliances work in both countries without a converter eg
laptop & hairdryer. They may need to change a setting on these appliances to
get the correct voltage.
Other small appliances however will need a travel converter, which would
be best bought in a UK shop / airport shop. Generally it is better to buy
converters in the UK to use with English appliances abroad. It is possible
to buy them in some hardware stores here in Northfield, Illinois, but not in
all hardware stores - and not all assistants know where to find them in the
store.
After nearly 8 years of living here I am still using lots of English
appliances (sewing machine, kitchen mixer, knife sharpener etc) via
transformers, and they seem to work fine
