Traditional English Christmas treats

[happymummy2010]

Looking to do a small stocking filled with traditional English Christmas bits for my DS to give to his girlfriend who lives in Holland.

Ideas I have so far are
Matchmakers
Chocolate coins

But am now struggling.. what else can I add ? I was thinking of a few more food items and perhaps some non food items. The stocking is going to be fairly small as he is only taking hand luggage.

Thanks

After eights and chocolate orange.

English or British? You might get more suggestions if you widen it to the whole of the UK?
How about a tube of Fruit Pastels or Gums? I always associate them with Christmas.

Terrys chocolate orange
toffee or fudge
shortbread

Shortbread.

The quality of Terry's Chocolate Orange has declined - I wouldn't eat it now.

A pouch of Quality Street? Although many people think the quality of most traditional chocolates has declined after the switch to cheaper ingredients.

A UK themed Christmas decoration? Eg red post box, Paddington bear, Big Ben ?

Chocolate tree decorations?

Shortbread in a Christmas tin, a Christmas cracker, a festive candle.

Shortbread
quality Streets
Marzipan fruits
chocolate coins
chocolate santa
jelly fruit slices if you can get them

-Malteasers
-Giant Quality street (as in one of the Big Ones)
-This year I’ve bought a massive tube of party rings!
-A selection of Swizzles sweets- love hearts, fizzers, Drum sticks , double lollies. Basically like a ‘retro’ sweet selection

I don’t think anyone who lives outside the UK is going to thank you for British chocolate 😂 I would go with good quality shortbread, fudge, a mini Christmas cake, a good British brand of scented candle (St Eval or similar)…

Do you also want non-food things?

I would include a fortune-telling fish, a tiny music box that plays a carol, one of those little books where you flick the pages over and it appears to move, perhaps even a small joke book?

But many of the Christmassy things were imported from or shared with Europe anyway.
