Collection: Nordic Gifts
Searching for Scandinavian gifts? These are Finnish, Nordic and grounded in real sauna culture, not generic prints.
Scandinavia refers to Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The Nordic countries include Finland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands alongside those three. Finland's culture — its language, its sauna tradition, its relationship with silence and nature — is distinct. When you buy a Nordic gift from Very Finnish Problems, you are buying something rooted in Finnish culture specifically. Not a generic northern aesthetic. Not a reindeer on a mug. Real cultural products designed in Helsinki by a team trusted by 1.3 million followers worldwide.
What Makes a Nordic Gift Authentic
An authentic Nordic gift reflects the culture it comes from. Finland's identity is built on sauna, sisu (quiet resilience), honest design and an unapologetic love of silence. Every product in this collection carries that identity — from Finnish sauna gifts that reference daily rituals to Sisu shirts that wear a 500-year-old concept with pride.
Very Finnish Problems started as a cultural observation project and grew into the largest English-language Finnish culture brand online. Two books. A podcast. Over a million followers who chose Finnish humour over common sense. This collection is the product of that decade-long conversation.

Why People Choose Finnish Over Generic Scandinavian
Generic Scandinavian gift shops sell an aesthetic. We sell a culture. There is a difference.
Finland's quirks, personality traits, and daily realities are specific, lived, and often hilarious. Our products reflect that specificity. When a Finnish expat in London opens a package from us, they do not see a Nordic pattern — they see their childhood sauna, their grandmother's sisu, their inability to make small talk at parties. That is the difference.
Born in Finland. Designed in Helsinki. Built on cultural truth, not clichés.
