Brits to the rescue?

I'm going to the UK next Summer and I have to bring a present for my homestay family, what is something someone from England would want from America? (I live in FL)

@Thiefy996 I'm not sure, I don't think they have ripoffs.[/quote]

We get BBQ sauce here, but the cups sound really nice!

but you could get Twinkies here, well where I live anyhow. Also Every type of M&M, Mountain Dew, Grape Soda and a lot of other stuff so perhaps bringing food from your country may be rather hard unless they live in an area without a specialty shop.

[quote=sarahxo]Ummm well I'm from England and I guess I'd like American chocolate/something that you always get in America but you can't get here. Like a few years ago, we hadn't heard of Oreos/Hersheys and our American friend got some for us and we loooved Oreos (Hersheys... not so much (too much cocoa, not enough sugar x__x)). Maybe poptarts? I've never had a poptart before. And twinkies? LOL omg I've always wanted to try...[/quote]

Something beach-related perhaps, like a sand dollar or something? I'm in FL as well, and there's a lot of tourist-ish kinda gifts you can get. Shark teeth are also kinda cool too, make good gifts.

I'm British... First british born in an American family from Seminole, FL Anyhow, enough about my life story... LOL
when my parents go back to see their families they always come back with various foods and such which they love and can't get over here... so what about that and possibly a gift they can keep in memory of you?

@sarahxo Um but we can get Hershey's chocolate here from Krispy Kreme and I've seen Hershey kisses at Tesco

Mcdonalds.

EDIT: since ive reached my post limit ill just edit this.

OT: I like coins and stuff from foreign countries. Idk if that would be their thing though. Maybe I only think it wouldn't because I don't find American coins special.
