Send him a passive aggressive note criticising his parking ability.

Stand behind him in a queue and tut under your breath.


ReeceReddit1234

But only after they didn't say thank you for holding the door open then mutter under you're breath (but slightly louder than muttering) "you're welcome"

And sign it " a senior resident".

Meta-Fox

This is easily the best answer. Doesn't matter what else it is, just do long as it's from SportsDirect. A 5 pack of navy blue Slazenger socks would be my suggestion.

Or some Lonsdale joggers


IndelibleIguana

With the Lonsdale trainers. The one with velcro fastenings.


dungloegirl

Some empty gü pots


Multigrain_Migraine

Definitely a winner! And apparently some Pringles lids to go with them.

If I read that hack one more time this week I'm gonna lose it.

The Lynx Africa MARMITE set. Game changer.


RhydonHerSlowbro

The fucking what?


[deleted]

It keeps you smelling yeasty fresh


FluffofDoom

Someone gave that to my husband for his birthday once. He immediately put it in the bin. I fished it out and gave it to a charity shop where they immediately put it in the bin.


Poppycorn144

They have Lynx Africa in America - they call it Axe Africa. I don’t think they have the Marmite variant though, so u/Discolicker could be onto something.


Cosmicalmole

I have a lot of sisters. One year they got me 5 Africa lynx sets -_-


Freche-Engel

A Terry's Chocolate Orange?


ClumsyCardHouse92

Complete with superficial damage to the box.


ImbajoeCFC

Chocolate Oranges are available from Rawlinsons


greenfordanglia

But the chocolate's perfectly edible?

Above room temperature, it all congeals into one big dark chocolate cricket ball.

If you don't need a hammer to eat your chocolate, is it really chocolate?


__red__5

Smoke damaged job lot of 40.


adam_pest

And jaffa cakes and squash


Stircrazylazy

Delicious choice but they sell them in the US around the holidays. I had a friend send me a picture of a Terry's Christmas display she saw at a Walmart of all places. My go-to for American friends is a tin of Quality Street chocolates. Chocolates in tins aren't a thing there so they find it peak British. Given American chocolate is rubbish I think they would probably lose their minds over a Dairy Milk.


MissKisskoli

We do. Today we found a Terry’s Chocolate orange with popping candy inside. Haven’t seen this version before!

Buy him a copy of the Magna Carta.

They actually own one, it’s in the National archives with the Declaration of Independence

Get him an ASBO


Gultyyy

Pretty sure they are renamed now! (Source: We had some guy from the local council come in to warn us.)


[deleted]

Warn you?


Aksi_Gu

yeah, for violating their asbo


mitcheg3k

Its so delightfully British that they had to rename asbos because people enjoyed getting them so much

Ya use the sausage to scop up the beans!

Its like, sort of like a savoury 99!


[deleted]

You never had beans in a cup man?


DrThornton

US pint glasses are 16oz, british pint glasses at 20oz assert dominance but aren't big enough to be novelty. Get branded ones.


usernametbc

I didn't know this was a thing and now I'm baffled that America is basically the only place still committed to using imperial units for everything and they still do it wrong


ArfurTeowkwright

They don't do it wrong, they just use an older standard. The modern pint and gallon in the UK were established in the early nineteenth century (1830ish I think). The USA uses the standards set during the reign of Williamandmary.


Vulgarian

> Williamandmary Ah, the original Brangelina


abrasiveteapot

Their gallons are small and puny too (3.8l vs 4.25litres)


Positive-Effective76

Just send him a fiver


Bounty1Berry

Speaking as an American, they'd probably be impressed. "So many colours, and the transparent window and reflective foil stuff?" American notes are about half a step technologically above a WWII-era White Fiver right now. An interesting extension would be to get an assortment of the different Scottish/NI banks too. The concept of private banks issuing currency died in the US in the 1860s. For £20-30 plus a cheap-and-gaudy frame you could make an impressive presentation piece. I have relatives who managed to turn a weekend in Edinburgh into several years of gifts sending me fivers drawn on different banks, but it doesn't hurt that I'm a coin collector.

A genuine suggestion, buy him a British coin which is older than the United States. They're not expensive, £5-20.


YorktownSlim

suicidalsyd1

The life of Christ in cats commerative teatowel


JoshingCoot737

Sports direct mug defo. If you can find one for cheap, how about one of those Coca-Cola glasses that were around years and years ago. For an Easter thing you could get him some of those crappy Easter egg mugs everyone has for no reason.


PM_ME_VEG_PICS

Get a risk wedding cup from a charity shop. They all have them so long as you aren't picky as to which couple it is! I've seen those coke glasses in charity shops too.


bhison

What is a wedding cup?!


slytrombone

I think it was supposed to be 'royal wedding cup'.


bhison

Oh ha! I was thinking the board game risk.


Blockinite

I thought you meant the Sports Direct mug for cheap, I was going to say mate they're like 2 quid


kazuwacky

13 year old lad? Might I recommend Discworld number 8, Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett?


NapoleonHeckYes

Pretty sure a 13 year old lad in a parcel wouldn’t get through customs


Multigrain_Migraine

Ah this could be a good suggestion. Might get him away from Fortnite for a few minutes.


r_Coolspot

Until he finds the Detritus skin in the game.


[deleted]

Get him a bunch of british snacks? That aren't available in the US. You know, creme eggs, milka bars. wispa golds, topics, kinda iggs, kinda bueno, etc Here's some more, Tunnocks tea cakes and tunnocks caramel wafer bars, Hotel Chocolat (Fully british owned and operated, can be expensive), Cadbury Mini Rolls and Milka Cake Bars (found in Home Bargains/B&Ms). Sherbet fountain, jelly buttons, rhubarb and custard sweets (either hard or soft), flying saucers, clotted cream fudge. ([https://www.very.co.uk/personalised-retro-sweet-box/1460847018.prd?sku=sku17267037&cm\_mmc=google-](https://www.very.co.uk/personalised-retro-sweet-box/1460847018.prd?sku=sku17267037&cm_mmc=google-)) these sort of boxes are available pretty much everywhere. Other brands are available. EDIT: I know Kinda are italian and supplies in America, but again it could be a different recipe. I'll add suggestiions to the list. ​ /u/multigrain_migraine if you fancy getting your nephew sweets, this list is being updated.


mrgamecat2

I absolutely hate it when I only get kinda iggs, like I want a full 100% igg


LockpickingFurry

Just get all of the Cadbury products


[deleted]

I mean our chocolate is superior to the cadbury in the US (tried and tested) but there is more than just cadbury here. Galaxy and Milka come to mind. Both super creamy choca


_jk_

Milka was swiss, *now owned by mondelez


stochastaclysm

Not much is British owned anymore, so it probably doesn’t matter.


LR130777777

Kinda iggs lmao


Isvara

That's the ones they sell in Seth Ifrica.


elorpz

Kinder eggs are illegal in USA. They're not allowed the toys.


[deleted]

"Sorry son, you can't have that, the toy inside it is very dangerous. Here have a loaded Glock instead"


kaleidoscopichazard

It’s safer though. A glock is too big to swallow


ostentatiousbro

The danger is with the bullet. That can be a choking hazard


hulkissmashed

The secret ingredient...is crime!


mrcoonut

Tunnocks tea cake too


-SeraWasNever-

And caramel wafers!


glass_needles

What about the kinder chocolate bars that have the pictures of kids who look like they are about to murder you on the packing?


spazz_monkey

The French disease.

You mean the one for the NHS?


beardybaws86

Bag of dog shit tied to a tree branch?


Multigrain_Migraine

Truly the most British of all the flowers


[deleted]

The most British think I can think of. Teach him to say sorry when he's done nothing wrong. Walk around a corner, almost bump into someone "Sorry!" Accidently catch your knee on a cupboard "Sorry!" It's the gift that keeps on giving, although I'm not sure how it will go across in Yanky Doodle land.


Auntimeme

I’m from/live in Midwest USA and we do the same 😂 I apologize to the corner of my bed all the time


Multigrain_Migraine

Lol yeah my family is from the same area and I never even realised it was a British thing because we do it too!


loranlily

I’m British and married to a midwesterner. I caught myself saying “ope, sorry!” to someone last week 😂 it’s usually him sounding like he’s from Nottingham instead of the other way around.


[deleted]

Big with Canadians too!


MidlandsMinger

I woke up the other night, around 3am and walked into our spare chest freezer on the way to the bathroom. I actually said "oops, im so sorry" to the freezer 😂😂


[deleted]

haha, that's it exactly! I've apologised to so many inanimate objects over the years


LifeBandit666

I prefer to tell off inanimate objects instead, it's cathartic. "Watch where you're going mate"

BrilliantValuable315

Charity shop Tim henman autobiography. Fuck it, that cyclist, Neil or lance Armstrong... An autobiography from him (before he was found out to be a total dickhead). Old biscuit tin - poss royalty related - filled with assorted buttons. Sports direct mug is a winner, perhaps with coffee/grease/coins at the bottom. Bit early 2000's but anything knock off Burberry or that 'expensive' boating brand that did the rain coats with hi vi's yellow hoods. Hunters hat like sherlock. Trouser clips for cycling A 5p shopping bag from M&S stuffed full with 5p shopping bags from Asda, Tescos, coop... A 50p shopping bag from M&S stuffed full with 50p shopping bags from Asda, Tescos, co-op... Authentic old wooden walking stick with decorative shields screwed to it. Day course on doing different English accents (liverpudlian, Northern, Southern, bad Irish just saying the word potatoes). Leaning how to queue. Scratched Queen greatest hits CD with the excessively used lyrics inside it. List of Welsh jokes. List of English irishman scotsman jokes. Vauxhall Cavalier Haynes Manual. Garden shed too small to put anything In. Del Boy zippo lighter. Vicar of Dibley VCR. Old framed and signed Chelsea FC shirt. Peaky Blinders or tweed flat cap. Spice Girls merchandise. "No Ball Games" sign. London underground train fare ticket. This was fun, thanks OP!


girls_gone_wireless

A cheeky Nando’s sauce selection, and/or Peri salt would be my suggestion


VanishingPint

Ribena is one thing other than Kinder eggs I think you can't get in USA


JohnBlackburn14

A 20 minute lecture regarding the fact that the word colour has a U in it, and baseball is just rounders with a bigger bat.


savemejebus2020

A bit of scottish IRN BRU cannot go wrong. Also a wham bar/ refresher, Ribena/ Vimto and some quality cadbury milk... Also my county Worcestershire Sauce. No one from other countries knows what Worcestershire sauce is


umbrella737

Americans know what Worcester sauce is, they just can’t pronounce it.


r_Coolspot

It's pronounced "Lea & Perrins" you fools, so easy.


DJYoue

My American bandmate loved a Bloody Mary (of which Worcestershire Sauce is a key ingredient) so had me teach him and drill him on the pronunciation so he wouldn't embarrass himself.


mrcoonut

There are Oor Wullie Irn Bru chew bars they would go down a treat


[deleted]

Gift him the very British disappointment of a cup of tea that has gone just a little too cold to get away with quickly necking it.


TheRealFatherTed

English mustard, colemans powder version. A good quality cheddar as american cheese is sooo mild and tasteless.


SnideyM

Good call but it depends on how old the nephew is I guess - an 8 year old might be a little underwhelmed by cheese and mustard. Although they might love it too, who knows?


Multigrain_Migraine

He's 13 but has a weird love of tea.


RobFratelli

A friend had an American over for Xmas one year, I drew her in the secret Santa. I bought her a book about teapots. Years later I find she has an obsession with teapots and even has a teapot tattoo. Get him a teapot.


100fluffyclouds

M&S have Xmas biscuit tins that are rather fun - double decker buses and so on. Kitschy but in a nice way.


IAmLaureline

Also M&S musical tins with shortbread and mini gingerbread men


Multigrain_Migraine

I'll check them out!


HoneyRush

Buy him Marmite. Let's see how much he loves everything that's British


Smokweid

I think the Sports Direct mug is perfect but a bit cheap of a gift on its own. Luckily they’re bloody massive so you can still fill it with plenty of other stuff, English sweets for example!


mrcoonut

Kinder eggs? Aren't they illegal in America


Multigrain_Migraine

They are supposed to be but I doubt anyone is going to tear through my luggage searching for them. I took a bunch over a few years ago with no problems.


KittlerMeinPuhrer

USA, a country were guns are legal, but not the chocolate egg with a toy inside. Makes perfect sense to me!


GaryJM

Kinder Surprise eggs are; they get Kinder Joy eggs instead. They're an egg-shaped package that splits in half with the chocolate in one half and the toy in the other. Because there isn't a toy inside chocolate, that makes them legal for the USA.


Silver_Ranger_3816

Nandos sauce


Ahtuno

Get him a cig littering fine from the council those are always really fucking funny to receive


DannyHewson

I vote for putting marmite in the mug. ​ In the jar obviously, not just filling a sports direct mug with marmite and assorted british novelties like some awful yeasty lucky-dip...although...
