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.
Honestly, I’d just visit. Maybe bring something small - candy to share and eat while you’re there, for example - but nothing big or lots of one thing. I’ve asked friends for one package of Big Red gum, for example, and they come with 2 cases of it. I don’t have room for all that, nor want it. I’d respect her wishes.
