Great gift shop! I went twice during my few days in Helsinki and referred friends to the shop. The…read moreteam is fantastic! Very helpful, no pushy sales pitch, and gives honest feedback when trying on sweaters (they have other offerings). Between the four of us I think we purchased at least 7. The shop has a great selection and wish I could get back more frequently.

Cool little souvenir shop located across from the Rock Church in Helsinki, Finland. Chances are…read moreexcellent that you will find a wonderful souvenir here at this little shop. They fit all kinds of interesting merchandise inside. Found what we were searching for at a fair price!

This is a cute Moomin Shop in the Helsinki Airport! It's quite large and has a lot of stuff from…read morekeychains to plates to pet bowls to pot holders and more. There were even some stuff for sale as well! My friend got this really cute cutting board for about 13 euros which I thought was rather decent. I ended up buying this cute Moomin charm for 4 Euros since I love enamel charms! They have a stamp rally where if you take their stamp card and visit another Moomin Shop you can get something. I actually visited the Esplanade one a few days ago which is too bad since I would have been able to get whatever their gift was!

Mo' Moomin? No, problem! This is a store that exclusively…read moresells merchandise involving a cartoon in Finland about a happy hippo and an angry dark haired girl. These characters are everywhere in Finland. It's like their national mascot or something. I just don't get the appeal. I searched all over Helsinki for any hippos in their natural habitat, but didn't see any. Maybe they're hiding under all that snow and ice. They're supposed to come from the town of Moominvalley. This store has quite a variety of things with the hippo stamped all over it. The hippo might be smiling, or laughing, where the angry little girl just scowls. This seems to be stuff for children- things like kids clothes, or toys, but you can still get nice stationary with the hippo on it. I guess if you're hungry hungry for hippos, this would be a good place to go. I'm totally clueless about this cartoon, but it's bigger than The Simpsons. They offer the DVDs here that should surely explain it, but they're all in Finnish. The clerks seem to be nice, and are attentive here. The store is clean, and located in the T2 of the HEL Airport in Vantaa. They offer a bunch of souvenirs of Finland, but they're all Moomin. This seems to be part of the Finnish national identity. If you're flying from Helsinki (HEL) to Moominvalley (MOO), this is the place to get stocked up. They have all your Moomin travel accessory needs covered.

This is an amazing store with a very wide selection of wooden souvenirs…read more We were extremely impressed with the wonderful guest service. Everyone was very polite and helpful. We purchased a couple of wooden Christmas ornaments as well as a wonderful selection of wood Trivets for gifts. We thought the prices were very fair. They except euros or credit cards. Highly recommend this location if you are ever in Finland and looking for some souvenirs that can be usable gifts.

For a tourist shop, selling touristy items in a touristy area, this place is pretty good!…read more They have a variety of handicrafts and the staff were lovely. I actually saw similar items at other places after this but these were nicer and the pricing not higher than other shops. Apparently they specialise in this certain kind of beaded necklace, with handmade beads. I'm not much for jewelry, though. I did come away with a lovely trivet, and left a fair few things behind that I wanted (but just didn't need). Worth popping in when you go to the Lutheran church!

We were here to do a Geocache, and as I love gift shops, I popped in here too…read more It's perfectly fine, a normal museum gift shop, with an obvious slant towards Helsinki but actually nothing really very exciting or unique. This is almost definitely because I was there as an English-speaking tourist though, and I think this shop - and museum - are well suited to Finnish visitors. I'm glad we went and next time I'm in Helsinki, I may well pop in again - and perhaps be more inspired to shop!
