UK Gift Ideas

[MissMeidak]

We normally participate in FE, but because we're doing a Mediterranean cruise this time, and will only be travelling with a budget airline through Europe, I was concerned about luggage weight limits

With just over a week to go, I have over-estimated what I'll need, and happen to have some space. So, I'm thinking of taking some treats for our servers, room attendant etc.

My question is, what treat or snack would you like from the UK? I'm struggling to think of what people might like to try. Also, this is not to replace tips, but just a little something for them when we first meet as a 'hello'

Cadbury chocolate from the UK is supposed to be better so maybe that.

I second the chocolate! My son loves it, and we have a cruise frien from England who sends him some frequently.

CADBURYS (they have to ration it in the crew store when the magic is in Europe and they get the proper stuff onboard because it's so popular)! And galaxy.
Curly Wurlys - I have never seen an American laugh so much at a food, my friend thought they were hilarious!
Haribo starmix (And you can get the small 10p packets)
Percy Pigs (but they're a little on the pricey side). I once had mine held hostage by other CMs because they're pretty popular.
I'm trying to think what went down with other CMs.

My sister is ALL ABOUT the Percy Pigs and always celebrates when her friends from the UK send her some.

What in the world are Percy pigs and curly wurlys?

 

[Shazzie B]

Curly Wurly is a chocolate bar; chewy toffee covered in cadburys chocolate in a sort of twisted shape. Percy Pigs are fruity chewy sweets - shaped like a pigs face.

Sounds really weird now I've typed it

I normally take Freddos (cadburys chocolate in the shape of a frog) to give out; they're popular too.

Those sound really good. My dh went to London several years ago for work. He brought me back some tea. If he ever goes back again I'm telling him to get me the candy.

Thanks so so much for the ideas!! They're perfect, and Percy Pigs are a personal favourite so they'll definitely be included
