I want to know if this store sells Finnish-made "Finland" T shirts or sweatshirts but I can't tell…read morefrom their website. I have called them during their stated office hours many times at various times for 3 days at the phone number they provided but they have never answered. Are they still in business? It looks like this is a really great store, but my inability to reach them is confusing to me.

The largest souvenir shop in Helsinki! What is it with…read moreFinland and a cartoon hippo and a surly young girl? I think I'm missing something here. They sell this stuff big time. They put these characters on everything! They sell a lot of souvenirs here. Nearly everything you can think of with hippos or "Finland" stamped on the front of it is sold here. It's well organized into different sections and types/prices of items. All of the prices here are astronomically high. Outrageously expensive. I saw things that I might like to get, but instead of paying these inflated prices and lugging the stuff half-way across the globe, I just bought online. The store is clean, and all the stock is displayed well. All the shirts are impeccably folded, and the shelves are immaculately dust free. Super clean store. The location of the store is right on the Esplanade, a beautiful setting. It's amid some of the most expensive retailers in the country. They have a all-Christmas themed department in the basement. My main complaint is that they don't offer any seating, or restrooms. If you need to use the restroom, they suggest you go out, down the street to the nearest coffee shop, and buy a cup of coffee to use their restroom. I hope they don't expect me back after I leave. The service seems that they're not there to help, just to make sure that the place is not messed up by the tourists. They followed not far behind me re-straightening and readjusting items that I had picked up, then checked the price, gasped, and set back down. Overall, this place seems like a huge shop that they have at the airport selling overpriced souvenirs to clueless tourists with too many Euro.

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.

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.

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!
