shofer Posted June 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I posted this on the Baltic board but I thought that this one would get more traffic. I saw on another post that woolen items had excellent prices in Estonia. Anything else I should look for, besides the Russian nesting dolls? I have a 5 y/o granddaughter and would love to get her a Dutch hat and a sweater. Any suggestions? Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pasodancer Posted June 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2017 HI Sue! I was able to pick up some nice Christmas ornaments as well as a couple oven mittens. There were some beautiful pieces of table linen that was hand embroidered. Just don't do like any of my friends and bring home a souvenir that comes out 9 months later! Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy!//Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted June 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Yup. In Talinn as you head up the main street there are flower shops on the left. To the right there is an alley with about a dozen locals selling handmade linen, tatting and scarves. Very nice scarf in the $5 range, doilies for $2-3. Although the shops in town are pretty good as well. We did a bunch of Christmas shopping in that town. In St Petersburg there are a lot of vendors around the Church on Spilled Blood. Nesting dolls around 3 for $5 for low-end ones. The terminal had a shop with high-end ($200+) that was cheaper than most places. Copenhagen has a huge shopping street, although most of the clothing is for locals. A few smaller shops off to the side and some nice ones near the Little Mermaid (which is REALLY little).

My next birthday will be my 71st, so am safe anyway. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rubyfisch Posted June 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Just got back from a Baltic cruise - my mother and I got amber jewelry (we actually got it from ship, as I didn't really trust the shops in St. Petersburg). There are lots of options in Tallinn, both in the old town and the market right at the cruise port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
