Hi
Travelling to the US for work soon and want to bring back a gift for young boy ( aged 4). Preferably something unique to the US that he can't get here

No clothes please just toys. Needs to fit in a suitcase

Hoping all you lovely people have ideas

Something like a die-cast model of a New York taxi if he's into cars.
(obviously that makes more sense if you are going to New York).

Cuddly toy of an animal we don't have in the UK.

Does he have a wooden train set (like Brio)?
You can get models of Amtrak trains for wooden sets.

Another one..... Lincoln Logs are a building toy that have never been well known in the UK.

I would also get a good set of Lincoln Logs. You can't get them here without paying a fortune for shipping and they look so American.

Blaze and the monster machine toys.
dreamlite reader books- there’s only a small selection in the UK

I got my dd ‘the little engine that could’ when I went to the US. It’s very popular there.

Baseball mit? They are fun. Sesame Street stuff.
