Finland is a typical Nordic country with very high social welfare. People here live a very wealthy and comfortable life. The natural environment is very well protected. There are also many ancient Viking customs that are perfectly preserved, allowing you to To experience the different exotic customs, let me share with you the 2017 Finland travel and shopping guide.

Fazer Chocolate is the only company in the world that uses fresh milk to make chocolate.

I just bought milk chocolate with strawberry pieces two days ago. It’s delicious!

But not all flavors of chocolate are made of milk, so friends who care about this remember to check the ingredients when buying

The fazermilk chocolate in blue packaging is their classic

p>

Look at the picture above, (fazer’s official website also promotes their milkchocolate, which is a classic and they are proud of it).

Fazer chocolate has also created many other interesting flavors, such as blueberry chocolate, chocolate with salty popcorn, chocolate with pear bits, chocolate with Cashewnut, and cookie crunch. Chocolate etc. Of course I haven’t eaten some of them yet. If you are interested, you can buy a little bit to try.

I also recommend one:

Raspberry-flavored yogurt-filled chocolate, which is quite delicious.

But they don’t produce big packages like the ones in the previous pictures. Is this bad marketing?

It is not recommended to buy the kind that comes “one pill at a time in a long box”.

First of all, it is not as affordable as a “plate of chocolates” (the first two pictures). Secondly, they don’t taste good (maybe we Chinese can’t adapt to their strange taste).

Can't tell what's inside. It's very possible that the outer packaging of the candy grains is red and purple and looks very nice, but when you taste it: "Bah, what kind of flavor is this!" (I once tasted a sandwich that tasted like cough drops)

As shown in the picture (the focus is on this kind of packaging, it does not mean that this candy must not be delicious, but this kind of "long box, one by one inside" sometimes I really can't tell what flavor it is

Fazer's darkchololate is available in mint, coffee, and original flavors, etc. It is suitable for friends who want to eat chocolate but are afraid of gaining weight.

One note:

If you have any. Buy one of fazer’s fresh cakes. It’s delicious. (Go to the supermarket to take a picture when you have time and upload it. Highly recommended!)

The ones on the far left and those on the right are highly recommended. ! The second one is mint chocolate flavor, and the third one is normal chocolate flavor.

The supermarket price is 10.49 euros (large box), 4.2 euros (small box), for those who love desserts. Don’t miss it: D

2. iitalla brand cups and plates

Every Finn has one at home! No kidding...?

This brand It is very high-quality in the eyes of local Finns. Even if Finns are very frugal, they still have iitalla glass products at home (this brand is very expensive, but Finns are willing to spend the money).

Except for one whole cake that was taken yesterday, the other two were just taken with my mobile phone. I just want to show that this brand is really common in ordinary Finnish homes. Although the price is high, Finns are proud to own this brand of products. .

3. Muumicup

If you are interested, you can search it on Google yourself

The brand Mummi seems to be about a cute cartoon. The story of the little hippopotamus and its little friends?

(?Thank you friends for pointing it out. Specifically, this is the little beast/elf etc that lives in Mummi Valley. This one looks like a little one. The hippopotamus cartoon character is called Mummi) Every Finnish child watched it when he was a child. The Mummi cartoon is also particularly well-known in Japan, but it may not be common in China

I have never seen this cartoon (I watched it when I was a child) Doraemon, Detective Conan, etc.).

The cartoon character Mummi is very popular, and Mummi mugs are a must-have in every household.

Some even have them. Collection value. A limited edition Mummi mug can cost up to 2,000 euros (we collect stamps, jade and mahogany furniture, and Finns love to collect Mummicup). ?

I already have 3 Mummi mugs. A gift from a Finnish friend. This shows the significance of the Mummi Cup in the hearts of Finns.

4. Marimekko

(Finland Mom just saw me writing about things worth buying in Finland and specifically mentioned Marimekko) and she excitedly showed off her small handbag to me. ....

/collections/home/

It is also a well-known brand

5. LUMENE

I just bought it today too , one eye cream and one face cream, (I don’t want to be a tomboy anymore, I want to start living a more refined life and take care of myself :D (I’ll know the effect after I use it :D)

The eye cream is on the far left. I happened to see a supermarket promotion and bought it. The middle one is a face cream (for night use), which contains cloudberry. This orange packaged cream is suitable for people aged 20-50 (it says on the side of the package).

The main effect is "brigtening", which probably means that the skin texture is better, whiter and more moisturized?

(There is also a pink packaged cream in the supermarket, which is suitable for 40-50 years old) It is mainly used for wrinkles and wrinkle removal) Yes, I studied it for a long time in the supermarket today

I plan to take some to my mother when I go back during the summer vacation...< /p>

6. Reindeermeat/elkmeat (reindeer meat/moose meat)

I remember selling it at Helsinki Airport :D (canned, packaged like lunch meat)

Moose/reindeer are also considered specialties in high latitudes.

I heard from Finnish friends that reindeermeat/elkmeat is much cheaper in the Rovaniemi area.

So I have always been there. Waiting for the opportunity to try it.

Come to Zhang Mengmeng’s moose.

Note: The horns on the moose’s heads are very beautiful and are used as decorations on the walls in Finland. eg. : The "Hunter's House" for hunters to rest in the forest, the museum in my school, etc. I have never seen moose antlers hanging in ordinary Finnish homes

The last three photos were taken 2 years ago. . But the last one is cute, right?

Blueberry powder

It is sold in the lifestyle supermarket on the first floor of Stockmann in the center of Helsinki. It’s called mustikkarouhe (it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember the name). , just look for the one with the blueberry pattern printed on the box. Don’t ask me how I know it. If you don’t understand Finnish, you can learn to read pictures and speak.) The small box of 100g in the supermarket is 8-9 euros, and the domestic purchase price is about 160 RMB.

What are the uses of blueberry powder? It is said to be good for the eyes and is suitable for office workers and students. I went to Stockmann with a teacher in China and saw that they cleared the shelves of blueberry powder. It was quite spectacular. The high latitude has high forest coverage and is rich in blueberries (in fact, there are also cloudberry, lingonberry, cranberry and other berries), and the quality is guaranteed. Blueberry powder can be added to yogurt, milk, or sprinkled on bread when baking. It is not recommended to soak it in water and drink it directly, as it is often unpleasant to drink, as I fearlessly tried.

Bering Watch

Bering (Bering) is actually a Danish brand, but it is a Nordic family. The price is moderate, around 100-200 euros. Minimalist and clean, the scales on the dial are small crystals or have no scales at all. Friends who like simple style may wish to take a look. Various models are displayed on the official website. It is recommended to buy at the airport duty-free shop. There is more than one watch store in Vantaa Airport, including Bering’s counter.

Fazer chocolate, glass and ceramic products from iitalla/arabia, Moomin cups, bright and cool-style clothes and accessories from Marimekko, canned reindeer meat, lumene skin care and cosmetics, vodka, etc. mentioned in other answers etc. are all good choices. It is recommended to buy chocolate in supermarkets, not at the airport; for wine, it is better to buy it at the airport duty-free shop, it is true that it is difficult to bring; marimekko has a store at Vantaa Airport; it is worth mentioning that in addition to regular products, lumene also has lumenelab series, can only be purchased in pharmacy.

Due to high taxes, the prices of beauty products or perfumes such as Dior, Chanel, and GA in Helsinki are much higher than those in Western and Southern European countries, but the airport duty-free shops are better.

Before returning home, buy some salmon at Helsinki Airport, the vacuum-packed kind. After eating it, you will feel that it is not the same species as the salmon sold in China...

The airport also provides Packed in insulated bags, the flight time from Finland to China is shorter than other places in Europe, so convenient preservation is not a problem.

Strictly speaking, there is an inspection and quarantine problem, but because the plane arrived early, no one checked it

Also, I don’t recommend the packaged smoked reindeer meat sold at the airport. , very salty, reindeer meat is better if freshly grilled.

Furthermore, there are some special plush toys in different regions of Finland, which are not easy to see in other places, so it is good to buy them as gifts, although they are a bit expensive.

Finnish knives: You don’t have to go to a fancy place to buy them. They hold a market every week on the beach. Just buy what you like at the stall. It’s very sharp.

Chocolate: You must buy it. You must buy it, you must buy it, the more you buy, the better. Is it worth it even if you buy another box of chocolates?

There is also something like ice cream that you can’t bring back, you must eat it or you will regret it (I prefer strawberry)

You can buy a piece of amber that you like, but it is better to go to Denmark to buy it. The quality is better, and the big brands in Denmark are so cheap. There are many bags that are not available in stock and no one buys them in Denmark. It’s cheap and goes too far to get back to the topic

Finland doesn’t have many places of interest, the scenery is great, and there are very few people. Going there to experience the local cultural life is the most valuable thing you can buy from a trip

Moomin cups are highly recommended. They are small and not too heavy, but each one is very delicate. Although the price is quite high (really, a cup is too expensive), it is exclusive to Finland!

You can’t buy it elsewhere. There are new models every year, and there are also special holiday commemorative cups. Some Finnish grandmothers have a whole cabinet of them, haha. Below is a cup I bought, Love:

Every time I use it, I feel happy. When others come, they will also praise the cup and say how special it is. At that time, I thought it was too expensive and I only bought one. Now I feel a little regretful.

Another recommendation is Finland’s Marimekko (literal translation: Mari’s skirt: P), which sells fabrics, tablecloths, bags and cups for daily necessities. The brand features are very obvious and you can tell at a glance. It's Marimekko.

I have a friend who really likes Marimekko products. He is very happy in Finland, but the price is too high.../

Mainly because of the feeling like the picture above. Big flowers, bright and bold colors, that is Marimekko.
