Free market
There was a free market located near the harbor. On weekends (summer), there would be full of people. You could buy food and small craft items. There were also numbers of cafes in the free market where you could sit down for a while.

Come to think of it, I already knew quite a few Finnish brands:Lapponia: jewelryNokia: the one and only mobile phone for meHackman: stainless steel kitchenwareFiskars: again stainless steel kitchenwareMarimekko: clothes, mugs, bathroom and kitchen towels in distinct stripes and lots of very bright colours.Arabia: famous earthenware See the above huh, it's not cheap!
The finnish post has a webpage on which you can find their local offices with opening times.Information is available in English, Swedish and Finnish.
This shops sells alot of household goods. All at reasonable prices. Anything from photo frames to fleece throws. Depends on what you are looking for.
Nice set out shop. The displays in the window drag you inside. Silver Jewellery, watches and alot of other things besides. It depends what you are looking for.
Lots of fleamarkets around! And also 2nd hand shops! Or then Stockman in Helsinki... The fleamarkets are really the only places in Finland where you can bargain...
Like most of local kids, also mine are interested in icehockey, here we are buying a new stick for my son.

Finnish design jewelry Starts at about 20 Euro and up

Marimekko sells different products like clothing, interior decoration and bags. It is special because of the design you'll find only here. It is brand oriented, so quite expensive.
