Big bar of cadbury's dairymilk (friend lives in the US)

That's it! Any ideas welcome

My auntie has just moved to the U.S and my mum has sent over (requested!)

Some fruit and nut, some rich tea biscuits, kitkats, and a Bird's trifle mix in a box.

Dd has webcamed my mum for two weeks asking for chocolate coins. We bought some here and she threw up then wouldnt speak to me. Turns out she thought I was playing some kind of joke! Ds cries for mini wheetabix but thats not a universal craving. Anything that says Cadburys and made in UK would reduce us to grateful tears. Can't find paxo, just some stovetop stuff that looks like wet sawdust. If your friends like music, Q magazine would be welocmed as there are no music mags unless you like death metal.My MIL sends us The Broons or Oor Willie at this time of year. Crisps in British flavours like roast chicken, tomato sauce, pickled onion etc. Americans don't do anything like that. If they have kids and you are thinking of Christmas, we have asked family to send the rugby shirts m&s were doing for the different countries. Being around all the stars and stripes patriotism makes me want to assert my Scottishness more for some reason.
