M&S or even better Fortnum and Mason loose leaf tea and biscuits in nice tins.

Shortbread biscuits. I and my partner worked abroad a lot and shortbread biscuits were always a winner.

Maybe some Lego for the kids. The London bus (small one) or Lester if you can still buy him.

Might be worth asking on r/askspain if there’s anything British that would be considered a particularly good gift?

I was thinking a can of Stella but maybe not. You can get nice gift baskets from m&s and Waitrose, they're very British high tea fancy pants gift sets.

I thought I was going to get roasted because Stella is from Belgium lmao but culturally it's very British much like a curry or a Chinese

I don’t think Belgians touch stella. I was always give shots of baileys when I went there 😂 We do appropriate a lot of food and drink 🤣 I’ve had 5 stellas and 8 galahads today 🤫

There’s nothing we do is better than Spain. A proper Cornish pasty, maybe? Clotted cream? Greggs! Take a greggs 🤣 Back up in case you don’t like them has to be licorice allsorts.
