What do you miss from the UK. Must be able to be packed in a suitcase.

My mum wants an xmas list from me soon. I'm moving to NZ at the end of Jan so are there any little things that I am going to miss that I could ask for?

I reckon the kiwi twinings tea is awful weak nasty stuff! I'm from Aussie, and it seems to me different countries have really different blends, even tho it's the same label

yes you see now you've mentioned Dandelion and Burdock I've got an urge to go and get some. Even though I've never felt the need before!

proper cheddar cheese. you cant get it anywhere else in the world

in Spain I miss>

good strong cheddar
twiglets (athough you can now get them here but they are hugely pricy)
lilets tampons
Boots soltan suncream - all the ones here seem to be greasy and stain ds's clothes and you can't get the stuff that lasts for 6 hours
body shop stuff
M&S knickers
Gap socks for ds, the only ones the actually stay on plus they have rubbery bits on the bottom so he doesn't slip on our floors which are tiled
children's books
lime pickle
herbs and spices especially for indian and thai cooking
notebooks with just lines in them and not squares
cheap vests for ds from the supermarket
Clarks Doodles and cheap wellies

shall I go on??

I didn't have anything to add to this as hubby commutes from UK and shops there but then BOOTS was mentioned!! What I would give for 30 mins in Boots!!!I do find it horrible though that all food shopping is done by him, chrimbo shopping for girls, all chosen. I'd love to do it myself but England is cheaper!
