Gift for people who need to fly home?!

My brother and SIL will be flying to the UK for Christmas then back home to the US. We can't therefore give them bulky gifts they have to carry back. Does anyone have any ideas for suitable gifts? I wondered about a gin subscription/ foodie delivery gift but don't know if these exist in the US?

Thanks

Well, im taking 2 empty suitcases (assuming i can pack winter stuff for 4 in 2 suitcases) to allow for whatever stuff comes the kids way.
Books are ace. Books are heavy.
Fabric? So clothes, tablecloths etc.
Food package? Either to take back, or consume while they are still here.
Be careful with DVDs etc as they can be region specific.

Shortbreads, Jaffa cakes, Paxo turkey stuffing, tin of biscuit with the tin itself is decorative with scenes like Midsummer.
Loose tea or rare teabags.

European chocolates, Belgian or Swiss or Italian.

If not food related, then anything like tea towels, London underground stops map, posters with London/ UK. Tin tray with the picture if Shire horses or any UK scenery etc picture on.

Secret Sights of London Colouring in Book for Mindfulness www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0600634493/ref=mp_s_a_1_32?keywords=london+illustrated+book&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1513439904&sr=832

Or similar UK scenery based books.
