Gear from Fjällräven – Prices Vary
Swedish outfitter Fjällräven has everything you need to enjoy the great outdoors. We like the look of the Abisko Shade Jacket ($135) for men and the Abisko Hybrid Breeze Jacket ($150) for women for when the weather warms up a little. We’ve also got our eyes on the Foldsack No. 1 Backpack ($100) to hold our gear when we hike.

We know, your husband is awesome. If he’s Swedish, we have the awesome gift: a stainless-steel flask from HP Sunrise that reads “I love my awesome Swedish husband.” Cheers!

Guys, we know you’re going to be in the doghouse for using that flask too much. Make up for it with some makeup and skin care products from IDUN Minerals, which launched in Stockholm in 2011.
Kubb Set from Yard Games – $44.99
Tired of playing cornhole in the back yard? Step it up a notch with your very on Kubb set, also known as Viking chess.
Swedish Books – Prices Vary
Nothing beats a good book. We’ve taken interest in Elisabet der Nederlanden’s “Holiday Cookies” and Niki Brantmark’s “Lagom: Not Too Little, Not Too Much.” And the upcoming “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning” by Margareta Magnusson also has our attention. If you’re looking for a little heavier reading, try these recent releases: Henning Mankell’s “After the Fire” or Fredrik Backman’s “Bear Town.”
