Hey guys, I am an international student from Vietnam who will come to Stockholm in 3 months for grad school. I have already found a shared house to rent and will be living with the landlord's son most of the time, whose 30th birthday is a few days after I get there. And I was invited to celebrate with them as we will be living in the same house.

Since I really want to make a good relationship with them, I was wondering what kind of birthday gift I should prepare in advance without seeming over the top, maybe I will buy it here in Vietnam. Not sure what the norms are like?

Also, I would like to prepare some presents for the family as a whole and give them on the first day I move in. So I'd love to have your suggestions on that too :) The landlord couple are in their 60s I think, and they have two sons, one is 30 and the other is 26.

Tack så mycket!

Hey everyone. I am from Southeast Asia and will be in Stockholm for graduate school this August. I have heard that the winter can be very brutal because of the cold and the darkness. Therefore, I am thinking of buying and bringing a specialized led lamp for SAD (seasonal affective disorder), the one that emits 10,000 lux to mimic natural daylight.

In your opinion, is it necessary to own a SAD lamp and has it worked for you during the winter?

Would love to hear your views. Tack så mycket!
