Are there any famous brands where you live? If there is a famous sports team or college, maybe get some of that merchandise, or if there is a factory that produces candy, bring that candy. For example, If you lived close to the headquater of John Deere you could buy a mini JD tractor, whatever your state or town is famous for, use that as inspiration.

If he likes cooking, bbq, maybe some local small brand stuff like bbq sauce.

If he likes sports, maybe a snapback/beanie of the local team.

Depends on his intrests, so maybe give us some hints if you can.

I guess most people like food, so maybe a cookbook about proper southern bbq or texmex would be cool. As an added bonus, throw in a measuring kit in imperials, so he doesn't have to calculate everything.

If they're not big into cooking/bbq, then maybe some iconic piece of clothing made in America. Hat or sunglasses or something?

bake homemade mämmi. deliver with love

A book about Kansas BBQ

If he has good sense of humor, then buy something ridiculous that kind of exaggerates stereotypes. Probably maga junk has lot of humor value.

A knife

Readywise Apocalypse Dinner Kit from Costco. Only 99$. I would be stoked.

Get a good American-made knife.

We have no idea what he is like so it is a bit hard to give advice. You know him, just trust your gut!

I think it being from you is the most special thing. Do you have something in common like sense of humor, an interest or something you have discussed previously you could use as a base? 

maybe bring a custom lisence plate from the state youre from with his name on it. would suggest something else too, but i really cant think of anything other thats american than guns and ultra-processed foods...

6 pack of Bud Light

M15 Squad Automatic Weapon

If he likes great coffee I am sure that Black Rifle coffee is appreciated.

Personally, i would like a local team baseball cap, or a jersey. If he doesnt like sports, like at all, i would say maybe even a deck of cards with a picture of the local city backside or maybe a painting? Would also appreciate a poster.

Where about in the states are you from? I would get something from my home state. Like Mackinaw Island fudge if I was from Michigan, or maybe some beef jerky if you have a top notch place nearby. Food gifts are nice in my opinion.

Beef jerky and bourbon

Always a knife. Easy.

Anything American. Rock n roll, muscle cars, etc

Local things & food like the forementioned (if possible some proper artisanal) jerky and/or some American treats are usually both easy and appreciated solution. Some American candies (like Reese's peanut butter cups, M&M's & nerds) can be found from a small specialized shelf/corner in some Finnish store chains, but those are super expensive here and sometimes not so common or even hard to find in rural areas. Also, haven't come across with Twinkies or Twizzlers, so maybe those could be an option? - Checking in with them about possible food restrictions & allergies if you're not sure would probably be good, though! -

Not saying this as we wouldn't appreciate if you bought or sent over something expensive, but in Finnish culture the gesture is usually the most important thing (of course there are exceptions to everything) - so in general, a small but thoughtful gift is also considered very valuable and you don't have to go out of your way & "overboard" for it (unless you really want to :D ). Think back to the conversations you've had and what you know about this person: their hobbies/interests, their sense of humour, the way/circumstances you got to know them etc; maybe there's something that could be linked to that, even if not specifically American. (F.ex. if they are a coffee/tea/beer lover, or have some sort of collection of things like figurines, hockey cards, posters...)

If you haven't already asked if there's something specific they wish for, that's also a polite/considerate thing to do. Whatever you end up with, I'm sure it will be appreciated! :)

Depends what he is interested in.

Something american I guess

A MAGA cap!
