I wrote about delicious Princess cake here! Princess cake (prinsesstårta in Swedish) is a traditional Swedish layer cake, first made in the 1930’s.
Or you can go for a modern version like those made by Hasbeens (easier to wear without looking costume-y). You can find traditional clogs that are handmade and handpainted with classic Swedish designs. They originate from Flasterbo, but can be found all over Sweden. Swedish clogs are unlike Dutch clogs, as instead of an all wood design, they have leather uppers and wood soles. Falsterbotofflor (Swedish Clogs Souvenir) Pepparkakor cookies are the perfect foil to coffee, tea, or warm glog. I hope to visit more areas of Sweden in the future and delve deeper into the regional artisan crafts and traditional souvenirs.
I only had the opportunity to visit Stockholm on my visit to Sweden, so theoretically this could be a list of the best Stockholm souvenirs, as I found all the souvenirs by shopping in the heart of the city.īut fortunately, it’s pretty easy to find souvenirs from all over Sweden in Stockholm, so I feel like I saw enough of a cross-section to create a “best of” souvenirs list here. But it took a frigid trip to Sweden in December to really come to appreciate the Swedish spirit– and find some unique souvenirs and gifts to bring home. It turns out I wasn’t completely wrong– along with DIY furniture and storage bins you’ll find hints of Swedish design and food culture at Ikea. Surely wandering the miles of paths throughout the store, sitting on Swedish designed furniture and noshing in the cafe must have given me a hit of Sweden by osmosis. Before I ever set foot in Sweden, I figured I must have learned something about its culture and souvenirs from my many afternoon shopping trips to Ikea.
