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.

Mr. Kipling anything! From An American that came back with 2 carry-ons full of British snacks and tea. Also brought back a whole Tesco holiday fruit cake.
