If in Jokkmokk, do not miss the best place to marvel at (and possibly stock up on) traditional Sami handicrafts. Most of the items on sale are made of natural materials, including reindeer skins and horns. Hand-made textiles, clothing, and jewelry are among some of the things you may expect to find.
Shopping
The Sami do not only have a distinctive food culture, but also a longstanding tradition of music, handicrafts and woodwork. The exquisitely made tin thread embroideries are unique to Swedish Lapland and are available in a variety of designs. Reindeer occupy a central position in folk art and serve as material for many fine items made of reindeer skin and reindeer horns. In addition to reindeer, many beautiful items are made out of wood. If you are looking for well-stocked department stores with all the necessities you need for your trip in one place, you’ll find these in Lapland as well.
