The reindeer herding Sami people in parts of the northern half of the country have amazing handicraft and most tourist accommodating places in- and north of Stockholm have shops with things such as silver jewellery (often showing local animals), crafted knives, leather boots, things carved out of reindeer antlers and much more. For those of you with no time to head north but who are still curious, Vasterlanggatan in Stockholm's Old Town can also satisfy your shopping needs in this aspect.

What to buy: The homepage below belongs to a shop which also sells over internet and definately shows you examples in detail so you know what I am trying to describe.
