At the grocery department you can find all kinds of goodies, pastry, fresh meat, fish, specialty products, and international foods. You also have several options to have something to eat either at the restaurant located upstairs, or at the many coffee/snack shops. This is like a huge fancy shopping opportunity for demanding shoppers. You can shop for beautiful handbags, high-end clothing and shoes, or if you favor a certain domestic or international cosmetic brand, they have it. Don't forget souvenirs, toys, home goods and Finnish design items. The customer service department will ship things for you to destinations all over the world and help you with duty free shopping. Among many other notable things is a big Alko store. This is the government monopolized liquor store. So, if you find great delicatessen for lunch or dinner, you will also have the opportunity to purchase alcoholic beverages to go along with your meals. Really, if you want to spend time and money here, it is truly worth the trip, and everlasting experience while in Helsinki. The best thing at Stockman building is electronics store called Power that I just discovered last Summer. They sell variety of appliances, phones and so on. Found a table phone for my mom who needed to replace her old one. She uses it for Skype calls from the USA. Customer service at this place is priceless. The young men helping me during my visits were so knowledgeable, patient and friendly. One nice traditional point about Stockman is, that they have a clock on the Alexanterinkatu side of their many entrances. That is famous among all people living in Helsinki. When meeting friends, we used to say: "Meet me under the Stockman's clock." Happy shopping and maybe I will see you there.

Our tour driver was able to drop us off and let us shop a bit, and we were able to pick up a moomin card holder for the honey and quite a few wooden ornaments for my mother. It was honestly a bit hard to decide between them all because there were so many gorgeous pieces to choose from. All in all, the service was incredibly friendly and helpful and we would absolutely come back.

Very helpful, no pushy sales pitch, and gives honest feedback when trying on sweaters (they have other offerings). Between the four of us I think we purchased at least 7.

The owner makes stopping by a delight: She is so sweet and knowledgable and actually cares about the clientele, isn't just looking to push her product. HUGE range of sizes from newborn to big kids. It's easy to find something for children (or petite adults...guilty as charged) of all ages and it is a particularly great place for gifts. Also has amazing sales racks out in front all the time. All around a touch of elegance in the otherwise entirely unelegant world of parenthood. I have gone in on the worst of days - yoga pants, greasy hair and all...and felt like a princess on a cloud of soft white baby retail for just a few minutes. Great place - go buy something here for a baby you like. Chat with the owner. Soak up the baby luxury around you. 5 stars!

We purchased a couple of wooden Christmas ornaments as well as a wonderful selection of wood Trivets for gifts. We thought the prices were very fair. They except euros or credit cards. Highly recommend this location if you are ever in Finland and looking for some souvenirs that can be usable gifts.

For a tourist shop, selling touristy items in a touristy area, this place is pretty good!…read more They have a variety of handicrafts and the staff were lovely. I actually saw similar items at other places after this but these were nicer and the pricing not higher than other shops. Apparently they specialise in this certain kind of beaded necklace, with handmade beads. I'm not much for jewelry, though. I did come away with a lovely trivet, and left a fair few things behind that I wanted (but just didn't need). Worth popping in when you go to the Lutheran church!

There's an…read moreupstairs and a downstairs which includes mostly womenswear and accessories--with the surprising exception of what I think were a few menswear items! Whatever guy is walking around sporting Marimekko is a pretty cool fella in my book! Unfortunately... I could not convince my significant other to purchase the man-bag (i think it was actually unisex) that I was waving in the air at him. LOL! Maybe next time. ;) I didn't know that much about the famed Marimekko brand before my trip to Helsinki, but it's actually pretty interesting! Before we got there, I went to the website and read/watched the whole "about us" section. It had all these great creative videos and descriptions of how they design, print and construct their creations. I think in such a mass-produced era of factory goods it's easy to take for granted the craftsmanship behind the scenes. Without any knowledge of the brand I could've easily just walked in and out like "ehhh... another bold print. Don't they have fabric like this at IKEA?" But, by just going to their wonderfully designed website before coming to the actual store it made me really appreciate what I was seeing in person. Plus, I'm pretty sure that a lot of those IKEA fabric prints are a "inspired" (slightly copied) version of the original artistry you see here. Before you head to the store, I really suggest that you check the site to see a little more about what actually goes on behind those iconically Finnish bold patterns! I know that I understood and appreciated it much more than I would've otherwise.

I thought it was very fun that part of the Muji store was actually not Muji. There was a small section for a luxury resale store, and there was also a section that featured local artists and their goods. I ended up buying a cute Helsinki wood magnet here and my friend brought some Finland prints. The prices did not seem too bad for most of the items. Prints were like 1-2 euros. I saw someone selling really cute stickers, magnets, prints, etc. and it reminded me of my home local craft fairs. The rest of Muji (Muji proper) had your usual Muji goods like stationery, clothing, home goods, etc. I love all of this stuff and wish I could take everything home. I'm fond of their notebooks and pens, travel accessories, home slippers, clothing, etc. They also have a lot of cool packaged snacks that looked interesting to try.
