Umgås Holiday Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers
‘Twas the weeks before Christmas, when all through the stores, every creature was stirring, to see what they could score. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes the best gifts soon would appear there.
If you’re one of those people looking for the perfect gifts to put in your stockings, look no further. We’ve rounded up some Swedish and Swedish-inspired gifts to cover everyone in your family.
The best part? They’re all available online, so you don’t have to fight the winter frost to get the best deals. Not to mention, they’re all under $25.
The Sports Fanatic
This Swedish-inspired hockey puck ($17.95) is perfect for the sports fan in your life. It can open a beer and has the Swedish flag on it. What more could anyone want? Don’t forget to bring it to the game and have your favorite players like Bäckström or Burakovsky autograph it!
