Kankurin Tupa

Helsinki


Not just any old souvenir shop: good taste and style abound at Kankurin Tupa. Products range from magnets to mugs, linen to reindeer pelts, many made in Finland using Finnish artisanship and materials. Moomin paraphernalia are the most popular, as are the items in the year-round Christmas wonderland in the basement.
