Present ideas for American teens

[sunrise16]

Hi all,
We're going to Texas to stay with a family with two girls aged 13 and 16. I'd love to get them a little present - something traditionally English? Would love any ideas!

Lots of decent British chocolate. US chocolate is nothing compared with it.

Oh good idea! I wondered about brands - clothes or something - but I'm sure most of the cool stuff is American anyway!

I wouldn't buy clothes for kids I'm not close to, but given the state of US chocolate (honestly, it's awful), you'll never have Brit chocolate turned away! We used to take a suitcase with an insane amount of Cadburys to Florida family and get mugged for it as we went in the door..... Flakes, Crunchies, Dairy Milk all went down well.

However, with the changes in Cadburys the last few years, you might prefer to mix it up - Milka, German chocolate from Lidl and Aldi etc.

My friend's kids like football (soccer) tops but they have a team they support because their mom went to uni in the uk.
Tea bags and digestive biscuits are usually on the shipping request too when we go over.
I don't know if they'd be cool enough but universities usually have hoodies with their logo on that a lot of the visiting teenage foreign language groups seem to purchase.

English chocolate and sweets

Something football related

Something with a union jack on

Some tea

Brilliant ideas. Thank you all so much.

Cath Kidston stuff is super english

My teenage relatives in the US always ask for Crunchies,and Swizzels Double Lollies. They also love anything to do with British slang, you can get playing cards with British slang from Scribbler or Amazon.

Different flavors of crisps often go down well in addition to chocolate.
Crunchies, buttons and irn bru have all been recent hits for us.
