Oh! or this could be titled what you take your family when you visit the US!

We're taking my parents:
Galaxy Chocolate
Reggae Reggae Sauce
HobNobs
Kinder Hippos
Malteasers
Mince Pies
My nieces loved the Kinder Hippos I sent them!

My favourite teacher did his PhD in the UK. I was forever bringing him back Yorkshire tea.

Also, my brother loves ales, so I'd bring random ones back for him when I visited.

Can you bring beer?! My BFF fell in love with John Smith's Extra Smooth and would be eternally grateful if I brought her some. I just never thought you would be able to for some reason.

Sure you can.  I've packed it in my luggage before (but do so at your own risk of explosion or breakage!)  :)

Loads of tea for mom
Terry's Chocolate Orange
Thornton's (make great lightweight Christmas presents to ship too)
Haribo gummies
Patak's curry sauce

My parents are coming to visit at the end of the month and I'm gonna load them up with goodies.  I'm also looking for a really nice Scotch for my dad, something hard to get in America so he can look super cool at the family Christmas party (lol).
