Any ideas for small gifts to bring to friends in Israel- something that'll be fun to get from America?

Most things are available in Israel, albeit at a higher price.
Maybe a specific food item that isn't so readily available here would be appreciated.
If you could specify ages, genders, and approximate budget it would be easier to give an answer.

I can't think of anything generic. I know my friends and I all ask for different things when people come from America.
For me, it's usually stuff we are running low on - Nyquil, sugar free Tums, crystal light, granulated onion powder
DH loves bringing back every kind of chips he can find at 7-11. Entenmanns is always a treat.

Interesting spice mixes from trader Joe's? For a while people were bringing everything bagel spice, but that's become more available here (at least in anglo areas).

Women/girls- teenagers, 20+ single girl, and 50+ grandmother
I'm looking for something gift-ish, not the toothpaste or spices they want from America, that I'll ask- what can I bring you. But I also want to bring something fun. Inexpensive present

I think the spice mix is more of a gift than a "what can I bring you" but it also sounds like your demographic isn't necessarily cooks.
I think if you're looking for a small, inexpensive gift you should probably shift from the mentality of "something they can't get in Israel" to "something they would enjoy". What's a trendy gift these days in America for that demographic?

I agree with juggling. The most appreciated gifts are the ones that people outright request. Items that you use.

Ask them what they would like you to bring! It’s likely they would even want to purchase themselves and if you are able to bring, that’s the biggest gift.

If they read secular books, they are one of my favourite gifts from chutz l'aretz. The bookshops here have a limited selection, and while amazon will deliver some for free, they often have high delivery costs.
Only buy books if you really know their taste, or if they tell you specific titles. Don't waste money and weight allowance on something they won't read.

I live in Israel. I wouldn’t mind receiving an awesome diffuser, maybe a cool vase, tray or bowl from home goods or simiiar.
Someone once sent me a makeup bag with interesting creams and maybe lip gloss from a known store from their area - was really nice!
Agree with above poster - whatever someone would like in the US would be appreciated in Israel whether it’s possible to get here or not.. enjoy your trip !

My favorite treat from America is Kind Bars but you should ask them.
