Something very english from a UK poshish shop.

Do they have a favourite chocolate that you can't buy there?

rainee

depends how much you want to spend english boxed chocolates wedgewood or crystal (ebay!!) something with a royal appointment crest on the box

HP sauce:p It has a picture of the houses of Parliament on it (have you got an old one in the back of the cupboard from when they still made it in the UK?)

Tetley tea bags.

Jam - apparently Scottish jam goes down a storm over there.

Did they ever live in the UK? A nice print of their old homes would be sentimental and quite tasteful if done well.

A copy of the British branches of the fmailty tree?- they do like their genealogy, if they are stereotypical Americans

Quackers

Cadburys chocolate

Lady_E

anything from good old M&S......Very English

Why don't you ask them what it is they miss about the UK.

When my mother in law recently travelled to Japan she asked them what they missed or needed and jars of marmite, infant formula that is hard to come by were top of their list.

If there are children, why not look for something light weight to take as small gifts. For example boys might like a toy red London bus, or a black taxi.

They do have English shops with English food but it is not the same. When you visit they all complain about tea bags, marmite & chocolate to name a few!
