Going to USA soon, what to bring back?

I'm going to the US in a few weeks (without the family) I've never been this close to Christmas before, what should I be looking out for to bring back? I have a teen so have US editions of Prime on the list! Also Christmas Peeps.

Just wondering if there is anything specifically American and Christmassy that would be good for stockings, food or otherwise!

Go to Crate and Barrel for Christmas decorative bits - they have gorgeous linens, baubles etc

Ghiradelli peppermint bark, unusual flavour m&ms (caramel cold brew is the current special flavour I think, but they will bring out holiday colours/flavours too), there's going to be loads of candy options.

More unusual would be the y3000 coke and nitro Pepsi.

If you go to Trader Joe's, peppermint Joe Joe's.

Swag boxers, they had a load in TJ Maxx and either actual Swag or very similar in Walmart recently.

Depends, obviously, where you're going and what your teen is into but old navy has Christmas pyjamas which clearly you can't get here!

Thanks all, going to Manhattan so no wal mart, but not sure about TJ maxx.

The TJ Maxx at Columbus Circle is where we spotted them! The holiday market at Columbus Circle is lovely, you might find some nice things there.

Lots of Christmas themed candy. The wee tubes of mini m&ms are a favourite with my crew (although that may just be nostalgia from when we lived in the US when they were younger), also different flavoured m&ms, Christmas themed Oreos and ritz crackers. (Crackers are usually stamped on the top with something like a snowflake shape) None of the Target stores in Manhattan are great, but you’d get some which have a reasonable enough selection.

If any of you like peanut butter then Trader Joe’s peanut butter cups are a must. The mini milk choc ones are perfect for snacking/adding to ice cream sundaes etc, and the larger dark chocolate ones are made by the gods. Honestly - they are so good they’d make you cry.

You’ll probably be able to find Christmas shaped tortilla chips somewhere too.

Bath & Body Works for some travel hand sanitisers if nothing else (small and lightweight), but body sprays, soaps etc also great if you have the luggage allowance.

Another vote for Ghiridelli peppermint chocolate 😋
