My relatives that come and visit often end up taking the huge tubs of ibuprofen from Costco, nasal spray, calcium tablets, cortisone cream and make up back with them.

I prefer biltong over jerky.

nethead

Clinique products and ziploc bags.

Ash UK/US

I'll take your word for it, I am no hurry to try any jerky again *gag*

lisa67

Oo yes, I'd forgotten about Clinique.

Try the Great Value brand from Wally World. If you make sure it's fresh (squishy in the bag), the Teryaki flavour really isn't bad. I HAVE to eat it as a snack as I'm diabetic and it's about the only thing that's got good protein and low carbs.

My sister and niece both always ask for Reese's peanut butter cups, so I usually get a big variety pack for them. Lat time I went (January), I found a 5 pound bar of Ghirardelli chocolate on sale at Amazon, reduced from $60 to $25, and that went down a storm. I usually wouldn't insult the UK with American chocolate, but the Ghirardelli stuff is pretty good.

Don't take Hershey Bars, unless you want your relatives/friends to start hating you.

The first time I flew over to visit DH, I wore Clinique Aromatics Elixir which he liked ALOT . Anyway after I left him to come back here he remarked that he'd gotten into a taxi the next week and innocently and enthusiastically remarked that the air freshener smelled JUST LIKE MY COLOGNE.

Deeks

Ranch dressing mix
Peanut butter M&M's
Double bubble gum
Tootsie rolls
Those were always in my luggage to England.

My SIL makes his own venison jerky. It's delicious! Soft and flavorful and a million times better than store-bought.

Guindalf

Two things. First, your SISTER-in-law makes HIS own...??? Strange guy/girl!

Second, wouldn't it be highly illegal to take this stuff across borders?

tonrob

Mountain Dew, tinned chipotles in adobo sauce, occasionally beer.

Deeks

My SON-in-law makes his own venison jerky. And it's not on my "luggage to England" list, just saying it's better than the store-bought stuff.

Many years ago, used to take:

Cheap American kid's shoes & clothes
Cheap American (adult) tights/stockings
American antiperspirant, but now UK antiperspirants are strong enough
Oreos
Kraft Mac&Cheese
Velveeta cheese block (hahaha!!!)

Partridge's in Kensington import American foods, but there's a significant mark up in prices. Has anyone been to one of the UK Whole Foods to see if they sell the same brands there?
