My husband and I are visiting one of my closest friends who just got moved from the US to Sweden about six months ago. I’ve asked her 3 times what treats her family might want from the US but she insists our visit is enough. So now I must ask other expats what they wish they had access to.
If it matters, she’s originally Russian born and raised, moved to the US 2 years ago (that’s when we met) and then got transferred to Sweden six months ago. So maybe she really craves nothing since she wasn’t here a long time, but I think a few treats would still be nice. Her daughter is 3. Also, it must be able to travel via plane of course. Please help! I don’t know what she might have access to there and don’t want to duplicate.
My Costco run includes the two pack of Tylenol 1000 about the same price of 40 in Europe, 40 oz Neutrogina rain dance bath wash the same price as 7oz in Europe and one big bottle of Sky Vodka. Alcohol is absurdly expensive in the Nordics, a government monopoly sold in government stores like some conservative states. I paid the equivalent of 26 usd for a vodka Martini in Stockholm. My parents are Danish and the BYOB to parties in the Nordics I thought was kind of cheapish till I priced alcohol.
