Great little article for Ex-pats on the Guardian:

A shopper’s Christmas wish list

Enjoyed a product abroad but can’t buy it in the UK for love nor money? Join the debate and let’s see if we can persuade manufacturers to ship them in

If only British men could get hold of Gold Toe socks. Photograph: Creasource/Corbis

Why is it that when socks are supposed to be the staple of every man’s Christmas present list, they are denied the ultimate performer in hosiery? I recently saw three journalists, two of whom had witnessed the fall of communism in Czechoslovakia while the other had been the Guardian’s man in New York for many years, having an incredibly heated conversation. They weren’t discussing the plans for withdrawal from Afghanistan, or the potential outcome of the climate change talks in Copenhagen. Oh no – their passion was all targeted at the merits of the Gold Toe sock.

Gold Toe came to prominence during the depression of 1929, when people wanted socks that would last. The manufacturer, Great American, introduced a sock with a gold (coloured) reinforcing yarn sewn into the toe. Shoppers were impressed and today the Gold Toe brands account for more than half of men’s sock sales in US department stores.

According to my friends they not only wear and wash well, but they also stay up rather than slouching down inside your shoe. You’d think such a king among socks would be prized as the ultimate Christmas present for the men in any British family. But they don’t have the option – I couldn’t find any retailer in Britain that stocks the Gold Toe sock, and the company does not ship outside the US.

I find it hard to get so heated about socks, but I have an equally sad Christmas wish – for Heinz No Salt Added ketchup. Not to be confused with the no-added-salt version available in the UK, the US No Salt version uses potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride. After writing countless stories about the evils of salt I have become rather fanatical about excluding it from the family diet wherever possible, and make our own salt-free bread. So why can’t I get hold of No Salt ketchup? Are we such a salt dedicated nation that Heinz doesn’t think we deserve it?

One American purchaser, posting on Amazon (yes, you can even buy it on Amazon in the US), says: “This can be fine for many people (used in moderation) but it is a strict no-no for people taking certain blood pressure medications, such as myself (I think many medications in the ACE-inhibitor family especially).”

But another says: “I have CHF with cardiomyopathy. I have to limit my sodium to under 2,000 mg per day. Because of great products like this ketchup – I can do that pretty easily most days! My CardioElectroPhysicist had never heard of no-salt ketchup, he thinks it’s great!”

A spokesman for Heinz says the company is committed to making reductions in salt consumption, and the best way to do that is to reduce salt content in its standard products. “In the UK we recently changed our standard ketchup, which now meets the FSA revised targets for 2010,” he says. In other words, there’s no option other than making your own if you want a completely salt-free ketchup for the foreseeable future.

Are there any great products you have come across elsewhere in the world that are not sold in the UK (but should be)? Post your wish list below, and we will contact the manufacturers to see if there are any plans to introduce them in 2010.

I tried to post a comment about Twizzlers, Wendys and Hanes but i received the 404 of death Thought Id share before the Guardian deleted it from their main page.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Ours is the one with the lights on.

Very Christmassy. Was supposed to head into town to get some grit from B&Q but felt it was too dangerous to venture into town by bus and hope to find a cab home. Walked up to our council grit bin and grabbed enough to tide us over the next few days

Now just nervous if it will still be shit and if I can get into work tomorrow.

for those lucky enough to make it into Boston with the amazing Nor’Easter heading your way, looks like the guys are giving you a real treat (Even if Danny hates it)

Congrats to Mommy, Daddy and big brother Griffin. The McIntyres welcomed Rhys Edward on Sunday 13 December.

Make way for another new kid on the block: Joey McIntyre has added a second boy to his brood.

Wife Barrett delivered son Rhys Edward McIntyre at 9 p.m. Sunday in Los Angeles, the singer’s rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively. “He and his mom are both rock stars,” McIntyre, 36, Tweeted on Monday.

Rhys weighed in at 7 lbs., 10 oz.

McIntyre and Barrett, who announced the pregnancy in July, are already parents to elder son Griffin Thomas, 2.

Will the family continue to grow? “I think we have a deal to keep going until we have a girl,” laughs McIntyre. “That’s what my wife says.”

Here We Go Again, McIntyre’s latest solo work, is now available on iTunes. On Sunday, the singer will join the New Kids on the Block for a holiday concert in their Boston hometown.

Didn’t get a chance to see the New Kids on the Block on tour? Now you can have Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and Jordan and Jonathan Knight in your living room when the group releases its concert DVD on Feb. 2.

From early rehearsals to inside the recording studio, NKOTB’s Coming Home DVD is “bringing you back to the very first moment of the reunion step by step until today,” Donnie Wahlberg tells PEOPLE. “It’s kind of like a yearbook – only from a 15 year high school reunion.”

The DVD includes the singers’ performance of classics like “Step by Step” – and unseen footage from the groups fan cruise to the Bahamas, where Wahlberg and Wood surprised fans in their cabins. Wahlberg has a soft spot for replaying the fan footage, saying, “the emotion from the fans, in every arena throughout the tour, was so intense,” he says. “It gives me chills every time I watch it.”

Get ready for more chills, Donnie. The reunion party will continue in 2010 when the boys hit the high seas again on a sold-cruise in May. And there will be ten golden keys hidden in the deluxe and super deluxe DVD box sets that will grant lucky fans two tickets to any future NKOTB concert.

Says Wahlberg: “We hope to find new ways to give our fans no less as we move forward.”
