I prepared some gifts for my Swedish boyfriend is this good enough?
I am F24 dating a Swedish man, he is the most stereotypical Swedish man who gets uncomfortable with sharing his emotions verbally, I prepared few things but idk I could use some advice like how would you feel if your significant other gave you these. Mind you I am still doing my masters so there are budget issues. Are these types of gifts normal in Sweden?
Here is the list:-
I crocheted him a muffler, he is colour blind so I chose a colour that he can see the strongest which is also his favorite colour.
Buying him his favorite pistachio or chocolate cake (I can't make it because my home doesn't have oven atm and I am scared to make it in airfryer)
Crocheting him clover đ for good luck
Learning Swedish on my own to surprise him!
I am also crocheting him coaster with his dog's face (I tried to) he really loved his pet a lot and was rightfully sad when she passed away.
A notebook where I spill my heart out to him
A handmade interactive card
Pistachio or chocolate cookies because I can't be sure about cake but cookies, yea, that I can def do!
Embroidery handkerchief (handmade)
A home-cooked lunch/dinner
EDIT: The reason why I have such a strong reaction to one of the comment is because I have been a victim to stalking irl in 2023 and almost been ra ped twice 1 was due to I was almost dru gged and another time was I thought I could trust the guy, my reaction isn't "UNHINGED" or rude it comes from a place of fear and to add more I have also been in a very Abu sive relationships in the past, never felt safe but this man is the first best man I am in a relationship with.
