Suggestions for what to bring please?
 
Hi there! I usually hang out in the Canada forum but just thought i'd pick your brains in here if I can? :D

We're visiting with some family in the States in a few weeks and just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for British stuff that they might like/want as a gift? :fingerscrossed: :)

Yeah, *real* Cadbury's chocolate is always welcome, maybe some walkers crisps and some Bisto gravy mixes :)

careful with the oxo and the bisto, I have brought them in but was once asked at customs if I had either in my luggage (I didn't on that occassion). Very random, have not come across any other Brits that have been asked.

Bisto should be fine; no meat products.
