Comments on: Norwegian Souvenirs: What Gifts to Buy in Norway /norwegian-souvenirs/ All Things Norway, In English Thu, 12 Jun 2025 05:32:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: Debra McMaster /norwegian-souvenirs/#comment-1025363 Sat, 11 Jan 2025 22:21:11 +0000 /?p=69225#comment-1025363 I did my research and shopped at home before and after my too short visit to Norway. I ordered beautiful socks, found one local store that has brunost which I adore, found a top notch cheese slicer at a thrift store, and bought a beautiful set of silver jewelry made by Norwegian artisans at the Scandinavian museum when visiting my daughter in Seattle. I did buy a scarf at a small market and some Freya bars in Norway, but my time was devoted more to interesting places than things, such as hunting down the leprosy museum in Bergen.

We filled a duffle bag and brought home at least one sweater for every member of our family!

You can get them here in the UK now, but not the wide variety for every type of cheese that you find in Norway! Use mine every day!

Chocolate is always a winner. Smoked salmon too, which, considering the cost of food in Norway, I’ve always found to be extremely cheap in comparison to buying smoked salmon in the UK.

And then there’s the wonderful Swedish glass, Kosta Boda, which weighs a ton in your luggage…

She was buying Norwegian gifts for her friends and family! Didn’t have to spend time shopping on her vacation or lug it all around and take up space in her suitcase! And she said they had a better selection here and prices about the same! Brilliant and matches my experience as well!
