Summer shopping handmade gifts

It feels like summer has finally arrived to Finland! The beginning of the summer was so chilly and rainy, now we are enjoying some sunshine and a bit warmer weather. In July and August, Finns head out to their summer houses, 'kesämökki', for sauna and swimming in the lakes. If you ever visit a Finnish family at their summer house, you might want to bring something little for the sauna, like this ceramic thermometer or home elf (suitable for the heat in the sauna as well, but not to be put on the stove). To make a perfect Finnish gift wrap these nicely together with a bag of coffee, the most traditional Finnish gift when you visit someone.

And of course, these are suitable to decorate homes and saunas all over the world. :)
