This whole place had a lot of different local items that were so cute. Some items included: jewelry, kitchen gadgets, backpacks/wallets, notebooks, cards, soaps, stuffed animals and other kids items. I picked up a handful of smaller items that didn't seem unreasonably priced. The woman working at the counter was also super cool, and asked if I wanted to get my items tax free and explained the process for when I go home and showed me details of how to do it.

The selection is definitely better, but wait, there's also a downstairs! That's where I really cleaned up. Though I didn't have as much time to dig as I wanted, I found a bunch of great uk indie stuff (josef k, girls at our best, marine girls, etc.) all in what I think was a new arrivals crate, but I'm not sure. Either way, this place had an overall amazing selection of vinyl and was only surpassed, in my opinion, by nostalgia palace.

As another reviewer noted, there is an upstairs -- where they also sell antiques and the like -- and a much larger downstairs. The records are organized by new arrivals (again, used and new) of mixed genre and then by rock, punk, metal, etc. The only downside is that there are so many records flipping thru the stacks involves removing some, flipping, putting back, repeat. Also tons of 45s. Save hours for this one -- definitely the best of the eight vinyl shops I've visited to date (or at least it's the one that I spent the most in; see: kid in a candy store). Nice owners, too!

You will definitely find something nice here in this cute shop far away from the main tourist drag.

Also, I was pleasantly surprised at the prices! The dollar is strong right now and these items were much less than I thought they would be.

Last Christmas I ended up at this shop at the recommendation of my Airbnb host. I was looking for some Swedish mementos that I could use for years to come, that emulated the beautiful Scandinavian design asethetic, and that weren't touristy chintzy. Enter Iris Hantverk. They carry a diverse array of fabrics, blankets, china, brushes, and some contemporary clothing and shoes. At holiday time they also stock stylish ornaments and decorations. The Klippan wool blankets are a particularly good value, with many priced under $100 USD. During these cold days of winter, I still burrow in my blanket on a regular basis. They also offer complimentary gift wrapping for your purchases. This particular store is located in Stockholm's picturesque and often tourist-crowded old town, Gamla Stan, and is much smaller than the other one that I also visited at Kungsgatan 55 in the more central Normmalm neighborhood. The larger store carries more clothing and furniture, as well as wider variety of blankets. They also have an online shop, but alas it currently only ships to addresses in Sweden.

All the items are made by blind people (yay socialist inclusivity!) and the attention to the tactile, smells, etc. of the products is meticulous​. They do not ship any of their wares to the US, so if you think you can just snap some this good stuff up on Amazon, you are SOL. It's in Gamlastan which is touristy by Swedish standards, but by American standards, it practically like Greenwich Village.
