This is the most well stocked true thrift store I've been to in Gothenburg. A lot of other places…read moreare focused on apparel and footwear only but this is like the ones you'd find in North America, donated items and not just apparel. They have some selection of kitchenware, framed art, appliances and a ton of clothing. Each of the floor didn't seem big but they have 3 or 4 floors, we had been walking all day already so I only made it to the 2nd floor and decided today is not the day to thrift hunt. Though I didn't purchase anything from here, I saw some great items that piqued my interest. Just didn't want to carry all over town with our visit. Definitely check them out if you're in the area and are looking for a true thrift shop, though the pricing on some items can be pricy. Employees seemed nice. Just another note, I noticed that the thrift stores in Sweden smelled the same as the ones in the US. Thought that was interesting that the 2nd hand smell is the same. :)

(This is run for the benefit of the Salvation Army's social programme)…read more Myrorna sell only second hand stuff. You can find clothes, books, porcelain, utensils and furnitures etc. This store is large (3 storeys) and very well organized. Very well. I like that they arrange the glass and porcelain items on the ground floor colorwise. Books are around 20 SEK (paper back) and up. Otherwise i sometimes find it a bit pricy actually. (A second hand shirt from Melka at 110 SEK???) Nowadays it is not easy to bargain, they know how to price valuable and sought for items. Which is a pity. If you even get the chance to find them in the store.

This is just a tiny piece of what the real Bengans at Stigbergstorgt can offer!…read moreIt is located upstairs from Lagerhaus. They have selections of DVDs, CDs and books. A lot of music of course. Always things on sale - But I get the feeling that the items on sale are in fact crappy leftovers. This is also a pick up centre for tickets bought online.

There are actually quite a few second hand bookshops in Gothenburg city…read more They open late so I often pop in here on my saturday or Sunday stroll. This one is not one of my favorite since I like to buy paper backs and they have few o those. But then again, the selection in general is pretty good here. Paperbacks are SEK20 and hardbacks SEK50-75 for popular novels and crime. I never actual buy first editions or in other way unusual classics. Just simple crime and best sellers. They do not accept AMEX.

This place has a huge inventory, and it's all searchable on the internet. I usually end up here…read morewhen i do a metasearch on antikvariat.net for something very specific. Far from everything is available on the shelves, so if you're looking for something in particular, visit their website rather than going there to have a look, you can send them a message and tell them that you want to pick it up the next day. Prices are not dirt cheap but more than acceptable considering the service level provided.

Oh, I love love love this store!…read more It is filled with decorations and things for your home - perfect for gifts to friends who has everything! I love their shelves with cute fun tin boxes for everything you can imagine! Scented candles from Yankee Candles, cushions, jewelry from SNÖ and so many more beautiful things. It is a bit on the pricey side, but then again, it is not "cheap stuff" in here. Friendly helpful staff. And the best thing - they accept AMEX!

I always get fascinated by small boutiques like these. I like the shabby chic, country style home…read moredecor. But as always, I get a bit disappointed when looking at the details. It is more the entire concept and all together look that appeals to me. Haga hem seems not to be able to decide what they want. Among the scented candles, pots, pillows, artificial flowers, lamps and wooden items - you find clothing and purses!...?? Nevertheless, you can find a lot of cute and beautiful items in this shop. It is indeed on the pricy side but there are often SALES and then you can bargain!

Lagerhaus has everything kitsch you didn't know you needed not even was possible to need!…read more I like the color schemed shelves filled with candles, plastic, paper, decoration, toiletries, textiles, glasses, plates, jars, even eatable (any color) stuff. Probably not the most qualitative items, but still fun. They often have buy-4-pay-for-3 or similar offers so it is easy to bargain! There is even a flower shop and a record shop upstairs (check out for tickets for instance). Crap and kitsch and cute. You find it all here!

Indiska always has colorful clothes and textiles for your home…read more This stores has two storeys, with textiles and home decor on upper floor. Everything from rugs and pillows to and candles and table tablets. They even have a few furnitures, that is pretty pricey. At least not the price you pay for impulsive purchases, which I assume buying a bureau here must be. I love the style of their furnitures! Street floor is women's clothing. The clothing is not what I were, even if there are a few pretty blouses. I go here for home styling - I really love browsing their home textiles. I recently decorated my entire balcony with stuff from Indiska - they had some cute plastic rugs that are perfect for outdoors. They accept AMEX.

This bookstore is super fun and quite the helm for anyone interested in science fiction. They have…read moreso much more than books, they have games and activities and toys (or merchandise?) that is associated with almost any science fiction book/theme I've ever heard of. They have a lot of popular books and stuff on the first floor, but if you go downstairs there's rows and rows of books, it's super extensive. It seems like those that work there are knowledgeable on what is being sold and they can definitely give advise if you're there looking for a gift - which is my main reason for going here it's a great gift shop for those in your life that like anything science fiction.
