What do you bring back from the US when you visit?

Clothes(always bring back)
Dunkin Donuts Coffee(always bring back)
Degree deodorant
8Hour Tylenol extra strength
Good N Plenty (always bring back)
Smarties(US candy not the UK type)
Big bags of Life Savers fruit flavour
Canada mints(prefer peppermint but i like wintergreen too)
Brown sugar cinammon poptarts
Hersey kisses
ziploc bags with the actual zip closure
Fritos
Rold Gold Honey wheat pretzels
Wheat Thins
Triscuits
Ranch dip packets
Crystal light drink sachets(single serving sunrise orange my fav)
Don't always bring back all things but kinda alternate things about..
The list could go on and on and on  
I pretty much have one bag for clothes the other for food stuffs lolol

Triscuits & graham crackers. 

Has she tried Hermesetas here?  Cos it's the same kind of sweetener as Sweet'n'Low & tastes exactly the same to me! 

I think so, definately tried Splenda. I don't get it but then again I don't take any tpe of sweetener in tea and coffee. Seems that nothing matches sweet 'n' low!

Oh and Wawa coffee as well - though we are well stocked from friends who went over this year, and she's come to the conclusion that we can get decent coffee for the machine here, it's the package as much as anything.

I was pleased at the weekend to see her crossing things off her list that she decided she didn't really need to bring back!

I, on the other hand, will be bringing back some Schynders(?) of Hanover jalepano pretzel nuggets! 

For DW the main thing is Sweet 'n' Low - which really baffles me!

I buy Sweet n Low online here...you can buy it by the box and it's not that expensive. It's in the sachets like you see at Starbucks...

Save room in your suitcase for something more interesting!

I just returned and did have at least one full suitcase of food. Mainly baking stuff.

Williams Sonoma Pumpkin Syrup
Angel's coconut - several
Butterscotch chips
Pop Tarts - various flavours
Payday/Butterfinger/100,000 bar bags of chocolate
See's Candies - 3-5 boxes
Peet's Coffee / anything flavoured that catches my eye
Flavoured vanilla powder creamer
Hostess crumb donuts - several packs
Trail mix / beef jerky - for other half
Taco seasoning
Loaf of sourdough

I think so, definately tried Splenda. I don't get it but then again I don't take any tpe of sweetener in tea and coffee. Seems that nothing matches sweet 'n' low!

Splenda (lactose & sucralose) is a different type of sweetener from Sweet-n-Low (saccharin), however.  Hermesetas (also saccharin) is the same thing. 

Thanks for all the good ideas. Man, where will I put it all?! 

Miracle Whip Light
Grits
Cream of Wheat
Reese's PB cups - minis both white chocolate and regular
Deodorant
DH likes a specific Neutrogena Shampoo
Graham Crackers on occasion
Betty Crocker Care Bear gummies for DD - she developed an obsession while we were over

Seasonal candy - like candy corn or chocolate covered marshmallow treats etc.

Electronic goods if they're cheaper

That's great about the guitar Jewlz ! You can play plenty of songs with 3 chords, provided you know the right three chords!    However, I agree with Andee take some lessons if you can squeeze it.  Or online, there's lots of good tutorials out there now.

I bring back:
Hot Tamales
8 o'clock coffee
Goya products and Mexican food things- since Lupe Pintos is far from me and I can't be arsed ordering expensive things online

Thanks for all the good ideas. Man, where will I put it all?! 

Great thread Jewlz.  I'm totally bookmarking this so when I do make that first trip back to the US I can remember everything I need to bring back!

Thanks! I saw a flyer in a shop window ages ago that someone posted who gives lessons in our area, but I forgot to keep the number.  Maybe I will see it again or find them online.

Things i bring back or have sent over are:

Pappy's Seasoning
Ortega Chopped green chilies in the can
Emergen - C packets from Trader Joes ($5 in the US, and £17 in Whole Foods)

Peanut butter M & M's

Another vote for those!
I emailed Mars in the UK and they said they had no plans to introduce here as there was no demand and wouldn't suit the UK taste!

They've started selling Reese's Pieces here now, so perhaps if those are a success Mars will change their tune.

neosporin!!! savalon is just not the same.
candy corn from walmart...actually LOTS of things from walmart!
can't think what else....but FYI you can get grape jelly and hot tomales and lots of that kind of stuff in kosher stores in London!

neosporin!!! savalon is just not the same.

Oh yes, Neosporin and Hydrocortisone....I can't find anything close to that here...I think you need a prescription.

Nyquil is another fav I've brought back.
