   I'm starting to get my Christmas presents organised simpy because I won't be doing it while 9 months pregnant    My BIL is from England & I've got the idea of giving him a food hamper filled with kiwi-inspired food items.  So far I have:
 K-bars
 Cream egg
 Picnic bar (or Crunchie)
 Juicy fruit chewing gum
 Salt & vinegar chips
 Onion soup & reduced cream
 Buzz bars
 L & P
 Pineapple lumps.
 Does anyone else have any ideas?  With my preggy brain, I'm sure I'm missing some really obvious items.

   I sent my best girlfriend in London a box every Xmas too....it always has Marmite in it, Maggi Onion soup and most of the other bits you have all mentioned. I also send Burger Rings and Skippy Peanut Butter, and sometimes packets of Raro / Refresh!    |

   Tea bags...the NZ ones here apparently taste THE best...I hate tea!!
 always travel to usa with minties, jaffas, L and P bottle, smoked fish in tins, marmite (altho they all hate it and still there on next trip over!).
 
 what about DVDs of some NZ programmes - cheap at mo like Bro town, the taste of NZ type shows etc...
 
 NZ womans weekly is always popular as is the house and garden mag...collect a couple and send them in parcel.
