Make Your Own Swedish Gift Basket

We love a good gift basket. Whether it’s for a wedding, house warming, new baby or a thank you, putting together a basket of goodies allows you to personalize every item you throw in – and on top of that, the recipient also gets a cool new basket!

For the Swedish-American in your life, or for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life, here are a few ideas to create a Swedish gift basket.

• Fika: The Art of the Swedish Coffee Break
• A bag of Gevalia coffee
• Swedish Fish
• Marinated jarred herring (like SILL MATJES from IKEA)
• Kalles Kaviar
• A fun tray for a smorgasbord (like this one from Almedahls)
• Cocktail napkins with the Swedish flag
• Sverige coffee mug

Once you put everything in your basket (we love this one by Korbo), then all you need is some yellow or blue tissue paper or paper shreds to fill in the bottom and spaces in between goods.
