Silversmith on the silver mountain   Stavanger

Silversmith on the silver mountain, Stavanger

 1 Review  This is a nice little goldsmith store. Most jewelry stores here in Stavanger only sell pre-made stuff so you find more or less the same in every store. But in this store you can find special stuff...

HENNING Norwegian Woodcarvings: Real Norwegian Woodcarvings

by John_Denmon

I visited HENNING`s own shop who is situated about a hour and a half drive from Oslo, Norways capitol. What I saw there amazed me. Woodcarvings in all sizes and categories. It was like a viritual tour trough the norwegian folklore and history, truly fascinating! For me, quality is the most important when buying things that will remind me of my trips and great experiences. Unlike any other, the HENNING-pieces are made by hand in Norway. By this HENNING woodcarving gave life to my memories. Woodcarvings of typical norwegian themes as Trolls, folklore, Vikings or Animals from 100 NOK and more.

Eli M. Bergsbakken: Wooden drinking vessels

by Rusket

I, a norwegian, had never heard about ølhøner until recently. I mean, I knew that the old norwegians used to make drinking vessels from wood, and that they were often richly decorated. But they come in all kinds of varieties, with handles shaped like horse heads, people, different kinds of birds, fabulous animals and other things. They were commonly in use in the western parts of south Norway until the 19th century. I got curious about this Eli who makes beer hens, and found the linked article about her, which gives you more information and more pictures of her products, they are imposing!

Any sports goods store: Norwegian backpacks

by Saagar

There are some good but expensive backpacks for heavy-duty use made/designed in Norway. If you are looking for something very sturdy and large, for carrying loads up to 30-40 kg, look at the bigger anatomical and alu-frame Bergans and Norrona brands. They will last you forever and simultaneously make a lasting memory and significant dent in your credit card.My experience is that alu-framed backpacks with a 65%polyester-35tton mix are the best for really heavy carrying on trails and when it's not too much climbing/scrambling involved. For rougher terrain, choose an anatomical back pack. Around 1800 NOK and up for the 80-litres plus backpacks.

Kiwi: Cheap groceries

by hexelein

When shopping at the supermarket chain KIWI, it is possible to end up being paid for grocery shopping. Fruit / vegetables: If you find any bad fruit or veg, you are entitled to a double refund for the item(s). And don't be shy, if all the mangos are dodgy-looking, grab 'em all, bring them to the till and tell them you want a refund. You will have to actually buy the items first, and then you get the double refund. All products: You are entitled to a full cash refund on any item (including beer) that expired the previous day (or earlier). On items expiring the same or the next day, you will either get the item(s) for free or, if the shop cannot offer the same item with a longer expiry date, you will get a cash refund. However, beer will only be compensated with a cash refund.

Shopping is not on this itinerary

by maryellen50

As this is a very very expensive city, shopping will probably not be included in your list of things to do. Most things here are double and triple the prices of similar U.S. products/foods. Everything is very expensive so expect to pay high prices. Two to four times what you would pay in another country.

Vinmonopolet or airport tax-free: Crowberry liquor

by Saagar

The wine monopoly stores around the country and the taxfree shops will have "Krekling Arctic Crowberry Frost". Subtitled "wilderness transformed to liquor". I make this myself, but in lieu of this, buy this as a souvenir from Norway. Sweet, but definitiely the crowberry taste. A good aperitif you can serve your guests when you show photos of potholed roads, rain and sleet photos from your trip to Norway.

Blåbærsaft

by tini58de

Ever since VT friend Jan (aka knerten) visited here in Karlsruhe and brought along some most delicious blueberry sirup, I (or rather my folks) have been craving for more of it! When in Narvik, we had a layover and went to a nearby Coop store - and hoooray! there it was:Noras Hjemmelagede BlåbærsaftIt sure made a lovely souvenir to bring home!!!
