Looking for small gift ideas that are quintessentially British

Travelling to the US in a couple of weeks and looking for some small gift ideas of 'British' things that I can take for a 15yo boy, 11yo girl and their parents. They love sweets, so along those lines would be fine, but I'm also happy for little trinket collectables.

Any ideas please? Not British myself so need a bit of help!

Thanks :)

Davros, I'm going there, not the other way around. Otherwise yes, the shard or Sky Garden would definitely make the list :)

Copy of the first Harry Potter book (lots of words changed)
Keep Calm and Something Non-Obscene mug or T-shirt
Key rings or fridge magnets with London bus, red post box, black cab, Tube roundel
T-shirt, tea towel etc with the whole Tube map
Liberty print stuff like a bean bag frog
Paperchase notepads
Chocolate biscuit bars like Penguins and Clubs - a gap in the US candy market!

Football shirt for the lad?

Good idea to do an afternoon tea: they will love that.

A pp mentioned Paperchase, I recently got some cool London underground tea towels, very British. Also they do good Tupperware, London landmarks on it. Might be good for the mom.
