Aarikka
Ah, the sweet country of Finland, with its huge pine forests, reindeers, ice slopes, pixies, fairies, and tiny dragons. Okay so I've never been to Finland, but when I think of it, I imagine an almost mythical land blended with Arctic animals and Nokias. plankton say's although they are Scandi, their language is far more complicated to write and speak than Swedish or Norwegian. That only adds to their mystique.
So up until now, I had very little to go on in regards to, "what is Finnish". I think I now have a slightly better idea from a family owned company called Aarikka. They sell all kinds of goodies for the home, based on Finnish iconography, design, and lore. I almost went on a mad shopping spree on their site since I am a deadly IKEA knickknack shopper and Finnish design bares a slight resemblance to Swedish design; minimal, natural, and clean. Just check out some of the cool stuff!

Finish language lesson:
Good day = Hyvää päivää!
Please undress = Riisuuntukaa.
Must I swallow them whole? = Täytyykö ne niellä kokonaisina?

Do I have to go to Finland to buy them? It doesn't look like you can order this awesomeness online. :(
