Cigarettes are way cheaper than the UK. I don't smoke but get it for my friends. Spirits like vodka are also cheaper as well.Electronics are more expensive than the UK.
I never buy gold bullion from the airport duty free as its way overpriced than the UK
You don't need to declare these with customs in the arrival country as long as its within the duty free limit.
On another note if you look at the customs limit for spirits Dubai has one of the highest limits in the world. It is something like 4 litres per person AFAIK
