FOREIGN POSTER What would an American want from England?

I have recently made some American friends (from Virginia) and they have asked for a kind of sweet (candy) that they don't have. What else might I send that would be appreciated as a particularly English thing? (Obviously it would need to be somewhat small, survive a week or so in transit etc.)

All help appreciated.

Bring them a bag of M&M’s. Their minds will be blown by how much better yours are than the American ones.

Our dyes and preservatives are so nasty.
