US Care Package Ideas

Hey Reddit! Last summer, my husband and I connected with some Australians during our travels, and we’re excited to exchange care packages. What are some American goodies that are hard to find in Australia, or items you would love to receive if someone could send you a package?

Best wishes from two folks in Kentucky!
