Typical Finland
Typical Finnish Gifts
In the past, when the world seemed much larger, souvenirs and gifts from other countries were something truly special. Whether it was the Dala horse Dad brought back from a business trip to Sweden or pasta from Italy that was only available there. The neighbors had brought them because we had watered their plants while they were spending a week on the beach in Bibione. Today, almost anything in the world can be ordered online somewhere. That's why it is even more important that your gifts and small gestures are typical and original. If you are looking for typical Finnish gifts, you are on the safe side with the selection at scandinavian-lifestyle.com. Our gifts are really from the far north, truly original, and always a bit of culture or an insider tip.
Scandinavian Gifts – Finnish Specialties
Gifts from Scandinavia are a great idea for any occasion and usually stand out at first glance. But it doesn't always have to be a Scandi birthday present or a wedding gift from the north. Little things, souvenirs, and gifts maintain friendships and show affection. To ensure your gift is truly original, we recommend our typical gifts from Scandinavia, especially from Finland. Finns love to give gifts and enjoy integrating cheerful colors into their everyday life along with typical Scandinavian designs.
What do Finns give as gifts? Unikko and the Moomins are cult
The Finnish winter is very cold and snowy, often dark and quite long. Unikko poppies by Marimekko set a counterpoint here and bring floral colors into the home. The typically Finnish cult pattern is a great gift on home textiles, bathrobes, or cups, enriching your everyday life. Similarly typical for Finland are the Moomins, which you may have already encountered as a book, comic, or animated series. Chic tableware, printed with motifs and scenes of the Moomins, is probably the most typical gift you can give a friend of Finland. The well-known Finnish brand Arabia combines the colorful world of these troll-like creatures with high-quality mugs, plates, and bowls, delighting both young and old. Anyone having a bad day can simply dream themselves into Moominvalley with a cup of tea and gather light, colors, and good thoughts. For this, the flagship of Finnish design has even launched its own label. So, if you're looking for a typical Finnish gift, you're safe with tableware from Moomin by Arabia.
Gifts that Finns love, order from scandinavian-lifestyle
