A little reminder of home ???

[Foxxi]

Right.... What things can you get in this country that you cant get in America!??


One of my very good friends is moving to America on Friday So, for xmas I wanna post her a parcel with some things that will remind her of home.


I am sat here trying to rack my lonely braincell trying to think what I can put in her parcel!


So far, I have thought of Cadburys chocolate... Bisto gravy..and Oxos!


I cant think of anything else.. items cant be too heavy tho.. for postage.


Please Help!

Marmite and Battenburg cake. (We used to post alot when i worked at a post office! Lol)
Def Bisto and T-Bags are quite expensive. Good old PG Tips.

You can easily pick up Avon in the states, they even have stores without the ladies calling. And you can get Marmite easily too

Stuff I have to send my inlaws are (especially xmas time)

Tin of Roses & Quality Streets
Wine Gums
McVities Digestives
Wine Gums
Christmas Puddings
Sure Deodrant (sounds stupid, but you dont get it there and my MIL loves it )
Some local newspapers - even if they are old, nice to read up on the old hometown
Robinsons Diluting Juice

Errrmmmm... I will think of some more

I can only think of Marmite and oxo but they have both been said, what about english mustard? coz they have that nasty synthetic mustard there.

EDIT: someone said tha too..DOH!
