Most people have a sauna at home in Finland. But I do too, at home. So I bought two towels here which had SAUNA weaved into the fabric. They were towels but the fabric was more like a drying cloth than a bathing towel. Pretty handy eh?
Everything for the sauna (pronounce SAUOONA, and stretch it a little).
I paid € 5.40 per towel which I found a bit expensive. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Isokatu 25, OuluPhone: 08 379308

The locals described Stockmann as the best department store in Finland. It was first in Helsinki but they seemed quite proud in Oulu to have one there too.
They have everything from fashion to books, from supermarket to interior design, from kitchenware to sporting articles... about 4 or 5 storeys high.
Well, I am a sucker for design. Scandinavian...
So I saw this beautiful stainless steel cheese knife (of the Finnish brand Hackman) in Rovaniemi but didn't buy it. I came across it again in Stockmann, Oulu and it just smiled at me and said: BUY ME! So I did for just over € 38. It's design after all...
Then I bought some special aluminium bags for barbecue and oven. Eight pieces at € 1.90 each. You can put meat, fish or vegs in it and then it comes out, not cooked but smoked. I've yet to try it out.

They window looked so appealing. Everything in this shop was arranged by colour. I thought it was a stationary shop but it proved to be quite big. Also had toys and household stuff like plastic bags and plastic kitchenware or plant pots. As long as it had colour.
I was able to resist. Just bought 2 big safety pins (the ones you put on a kilt) to be able to hang up the Dutch flag on the balcony of our hotelroom (facing the patio, not the street, mind you!).
The pins were € 0,17 each. Leave a Comment Theme: StationeryAddress: Kirkkokaty 6, OuluPhone: 08 371511

Well, I apologize right at the beginning for this tip... :)
In case you are looking for some food you know from Germany, a good place to be successful are the lidl-supermarkets. You can find them at many different locations here in Finnland.
The food is to 60% comparable to the choice you have in the German stores of the chain, the rest are Finnish products. Leave a Comment

Located at Oulu City Art Museum, museum shop Ainoa sells things you might not find anywhere else in Oulu. It is a small shop and therefore hasn't things like department stores, but if you are walking in Ainola park or in this old industrail district, I suggest visiting here. Just check out what they have there and maybe buy some nice cards.
They do have many art books, posters, cards and cute little things which are just fascinating. It is not something you necessarily need, but just for fun:) Leave a Comment Theme: ArtAddress: Kasarmintie 7

Oulun Koru is big jewelry store in Finnish standards. All relevant brands are available from watches to jewelry and silverware.
The staff is very helpful and knows enough to answer even some of the more peculiar questions.
Oulun Koru is not for cheapskates. Finland in general is not a good place to buy jewelry, except if you are interested in Finnish design -- that is, by the way, quite unique compared to the rest of the world.
Lapponia Jewelry has several excellent collections that portrait Finnish nature. They have both golden and silver jewelry. Karelia Koru is another brand; they have got inspiration from medieval or even older Finnish designs.
