Pussy willow branches

If you can’t find pussy willow branches at your local flower shop or grocery store, Amazon has a wide variety of artificial pussy willow branches.

Attach these feathers to your pussywillow, or any branches that you might have around, for the ultimate easter decoration.
Easter Egg with candy

We found a couple of stores where you can get a traditional Swedish Easter Egg and fill it with candy:
Bon Bon – a Swedish Candy co
Pavalon
Sockerbit
Swedes in the States has also partnered up with BonBon New York to give you the chance to win a Swedish Easter Egg filled with candy – check out our Instagram post here to participate.
Snaps

One of the most important items at the Easter table for Scandinavians. These cute snaps mixes can be found at Swedes in the State’s own webshop, The Nordic Collective.

Is there anything equally as loved and hated as pickled herring when it comes to Swedish food? Probably not. If you can’t find pickled herring at your local store, the Swedish brand, ABBA, can be found on Amazon.
Easter Food Box

If you’re not really in the mood to be cooking for Easter, two New York Swedes have started the company SweDISHnyc, where you can order home a catered box of Swedish Easter food.
