Stop and shop here and skip Amazon, and other green gimmicks. This gift shop has everything you need to quit plastic! Go Plastic Free at your water source, first. The swedish dish cloth-a rainbow display wall of the squares us Nordic folk swear by. I bought a home recently and needed upgrades to the standard ugly plastic sink accessories. This shop had the soapstone soap holder dish- beautiful- i had to purchase as a gift. I will be back for myself. I also got the bamboo plastic free soap holder. I have been eyeing these both online and seeing them in person- wow. Prices beat even tjmaxx discounts and you can touch and feel the quality.
Stickers, too!
Just swing in and say hi!
Small town local family owns this shop.

In 1986 Bergquist Imports Incorporated bought Berggren Trayner and moved operations and manufacturing to Cloquet, MN, and continues to sell Swedish style wares under the Berggren Trayner brand name. It was really neat to see some of those designs still...
Read moreAt a Stockholm Museum saw a Swedish blanket we wished to purchase - too bulky to carry home. Internet search located the Swedish Gift store. Had several interactions with them (telephone/emails with Brad & Cheryl). Both were incredibly helpful with locating and ordering the product (actually ordered a 2nd blanket during the process). Very professional, friendly, customer service. We now own Green Albertus and Karin blankets which are wonderful in our bedrooms. Only regret is that we were unable to visit their store since we are in IL. They are a testament to the value of buying from “local”,...
