Ok here we go. Holy cow.

1. The Package. Already covered in previous photos. Again, this is a Finnish design. Super cool.

2. Moomin Candy. Moomins are delicious. And a much loved cartoon character in Finland. Actually eating these right now and watching youtube.com/watch?v=MUimRPULBKU

3. Angry Birds PEZ

Rovio is Finnish (hey I actually knew that!). I haven't had PEZ in ages so childhood memories come back. These will be enjoyed.

4. Karl Fazer milk chocolate (aka "Fazer's blue"

Also delicious. I love good quality milk chocolate!

5. Green Marmelade Balls

Something Finns love, but can only be found during Christmas. These remind of "Galareta", stuff I really enjoyed in Poland but haven't really seen here in Canada outside of the Polish store.

6. Instant Porridge (4 grain... with epic maiden in field box cover). It has lots of fiber and Finns eat this for breakfast a lot. I will have to give it a try soon!

7. Cheese Slicer

A Norwegian invention apparently. My fiancee is super excited about this one, she has complained many times about my lack of cheese slicer ownership.

8. A dish brush.

The dish rack draining closet was invented in Finland (which I have admired while travelling in Europe), but alas it wouldn't fit in the box. So there is a dish brush, which I am looking forward to using as well and will replace the not so fresh sponge that's currently sitting there.

9. Salmiakki

Salty licorice. To quote the letter "Most Finns love it and most foreigners find it very weird". I am a "foreigner" and can confirm that I find it "weird". Interesting taste!

10. Sisu Purukumi (chewing gum)

A salmiakki flavoured chewing gum. To quote "The name sisu is a Finnish word that describes the mentality. There isn't really any proper translation for it, but it could be roughly translated into English as strength of will, determination, perserverance, acting rationally in the face of adversity."

I look forward to testing my sisu with this gum!

11. Handmade soap with birchleaf fragrance.

"This soap smells like midsummer in Finland. As simple as that." Also look forward to trying this and experiencing a midsummer's clean. Very cool.

12. Väinämöisen Palttoon Napit (dried rye bread)

"The name references the Finnish national epic Kalevala, where one of the main characters is Väinämöinen" This is said to be enjoyed with cheese or butter, good thing we now have a cheese slicer. Now to find some worthy cheese.

13. Licorice of old Viipuri

Viipuri is a town in Carelli that Finland lost to Russian in WWII. This is a 100+ year old company's traditional recipe with a very strong licorice taste.

14. Sauna, Sisu & Sibelius - A Survival Guide to Finnish

Oh my goodness. Apparently 13 wonderful and thoughtful items were not enough, so my santa also enclosed a BOOK about Finland! :) Very cool and wonderfully illustrated and awesome. We will have to add Finland to our list of places to travel.
