What to buy in Finland?

What can you buy in Finland and surprise your friends? This should remind something of the country and be beautiful. It is desirable that the gift was also small.

1. Classics of the genre - souvenirs:

In Finland, Moomins are sold everywhere. You will find them in supermarkets and souvenir shops. This hero is very popular, he is written about by Finnish writer Tove Janson. With this cartoon hero you will easily find cups, plates, postcards, pillows, magnets, T-shirts.
The souvenir is specially for the mother: products made of Finnish glass, ceramics and porcelain, made at the Arabia factory.
Milk chocolate Fazer, this is also sold to us, but I think it's more delicious. And the Finns most like the blue Fazer.
If your friend collects flags of different countries, then for him - the flag of Finland. They are also sold everywhere.
Liquorice. Everyone knows what it is, but why is it taken from Finland. Well, nothing, for friends who do not know - a pleasant surprise)
Finnish tar tar shampoo "Tervasshampoo". He will not make you happy with the scent, but his use for hair is beyond any doubt!
Brewed coffee. It is absolutely the same as ours, but it costs three times cheaper.
Along with the Moomins are popular in Scandinavian countries and moose. Keyrings with their image and small soft toys are a good present.

2. Something that is done only in Finland.

Fink. This is a Finnish knife, he uses in Finland wildly popular with locals and tourists. It is practical and durable, suitable for hiking in the woods, for fishing. Finki are different: for cutting game and fish; for wood carving; usual thin knife. He is so stylish that he can decorate the house.
Kuksa. This is a handmade wooden mug. Material for manufacturing is taken on trees, using growths on roots and stems. This mug is very strong. If it is real, you can even drink it. Remember that by giving this mug you can wash only with water without soap, because soap takes away happiness.

3. Alcohol. He is not cheap here, but if as a gift, I recommend:

Finlandia. Vodka with cranberries. The head after it does not hurt!
Salmiakki koskenkorva. The original liqueur, in its composition - ammonium chloride. Finns, in my opinion, do not like him very much. But, as a souvenir from Finland, I think it will be very suitable.
Lapponia. Sweet berry liqueurs from raspberries, cherries, blueberries, strawberries, black currants and cloudberries are pleasant to the taste, they are very fond of girls.

4. Not very colorful, but still berry wines from Finland, too, will suit as a small gift for loved ones.

Finland is not famous for winemaking, but you have seenever wine from gooseberries, white and red currants or rhubarb? I did not see it either, except in Finland. These are inexpensive wines with a natural aroma and taste of berries.

5. Finnish textiles Marimekko.

In Finland, this is perhaps the most popular brand. The company Marimekko produces home clothes, bed linen, towels, tablecloths, curtains, mugs and magnets. Their collections are updated every season, and in the development of design and ornament involved specialists from Sweden and even Japan. The company's ornament Marimekko - poppies in different colors: red, blue and green. On this ornament you can learn absolutely all the products of Marimekko.
