Dalahäst (wikipedia):

Trätofflor (wikipedia):

Someone else can probably think of something more usefull/cool.

Edit: Nyckelharpa (wikipedia): If you play music and have some more cash to spend.

I would say ask them to buy some Swedish candy. We have candy that I fucking love, but you will find disgusting (salty liquorice) but also things like... polagrisar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polkagris

Haha, thanks guys, some interesting stuff in here so far... oO like that picture of a violin that swallowed a wooden fish skeleton.

I like euro liquorice okay, will probably add that to the list.

Yeah, the Candy is pretty good. Marabou chocolate is really nice, and there's nothing like all the candy with its insane quantities of salt/pepper.
I will reduce you to a series of numbers.

I really liked the Swedish beer. To get the stronger stuff, you need to buy it in those special liquor stores. While the prices in Norway were absurdly high, Swedish beer actually was kind of affordable. And the cans look badass.
Swedish candy is also really awesome.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

"Rökt böckling" is just smoked fish though, it tastes really nice. The rotten fish is called "surströmming" and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, at least not without plenty of seasoned snaps along with it :p

OT: I would get your friend to bring some liquor, like Aquavit OP Anderson or Skåne, you can find it at "Systembolaget", the only stores in Sweden which sell beverages above 3,5% alcohol. Otherwise I guess the candy is nice

The nyckelharpa looks cool, and seems like a hilarious thing to bring out at parties to serenade potentials with. I always say go with chocolate or the dessert of choice there. I never regret doing that.

Judging by Sweden's appalling plummeting in global school rankings over the last 10 years it seems like those would have to come from some other country

I second what people said about the candy. I'm sure there are some great ones, but be weary, in college my swedish roommate purposely ambushed me with some of the most revolting "candy" I've ever had. I guess it was just salty liquorice but it seemed like something even more insidious.

I think it's always fun to just ask your friend to "bring you something really stupid" and see what you get.
