I'll see if anyone else speaks up - and if so, I can do one each (just to give someone else a chance if they want one).  Otherwise I'm happy to send them both to you!

Yeah, definitely, I am very happy to share with others!

Any other takers (besides PB) on a generic-store-brand tube of Neosporin ointment/cream?

I might also have a box of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix packets lurking in the back of my cupboard... (and I don't eat it)

Ok - one tube for shugga & one tube for PB!

I got your PM, shugga, thanks!  PB, can you PM your postal address as well?

I'll try to get these off in the next week sometime.  :)

I had to giggle over this. There is a gated community in Santa Claus, Indiana, called Christmas Lake Village. All the streets are named with a Christmas theme, with reindeer names, and things like Mistletoe Lane, Blue Spruce Drive. It is quirky and quite a bit strange to the outside world, but those of us who have lived nearby most or all our lives have grown used to it.
“It's practically impossible to look at a penguin and feel angry.” Joe Moore

Just back 2 days ago, and I brought back:

Secret 'cocoa butter kiss' deodorant sticks
Glide floss picks
Crystal Light
Mio liquid 'water enhancer' flavour drops
Gorgeously scented antibac hand gel from Bath & Body Works
Vlasic pickles
Twinkies... a box of 10 in Target costs the same as a single Twinkie from my local import shop!
Hidden Valley Ranch packets

My mom also cleared out her spice cupboard and gave me a dozen or so various spice rubs, meat marinades, and seasoning packets.

I also brought back a few clothing items... it was difficult to find things I liked, as the women's fashion style in Amarillo, TX is at odds with my own.  :-\\\\

Wow! This thread is so great.

I HAVE to agree about the underwear thing. I buy all of mine from Victoria's Secret in the US...but VS is opening two stores in London on 25th July! Still cheaper to buy it in the States I am sure.

I agree with the deodorant, boxers for DH, and Cheezits.

One that no one has mentioned is Q-Tips! Real, brand-name Q-Tips! The 'cotton buds' here do not have enough cotton on the end, it is like putting a stick in my ear! I use Q-Tips for other purposes too such as make-up touchup, so I go through a lot!

My mother and I make a trip to Sam's Club/Costco and buy giant boxes of Q-Tips and Jolly Ranchers!
2006: Met DH to be in London

2010: Moved to London on Tier 1 PSW visa

2012: Married
2014: ILR Approved at PEO Croydon
2015: I'm finally British!
