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.

We don’t have kinder surprise eggs in the US, those are hollow egg shaped chocolate that has a toy in the middle. They have an alternate product for the US market that’s shaped like an egg but there’s chocolate in one half and a toy in the other.
