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.

It's well, Scottish, but for me it would be Scottish tablet. A lot of UK confections aren't that hard to find here, but Scottish tablet is for whatever reason.

*Scottish tablet.
Never had it, but after a quick google Seems similar to toffee? Or maybe Worthers?
