Crazy days at Stockmann

Twice a year in Spring and in Automn Stockmann has its Crazy Days with plenty of special offers on about everything including boats and cars. Stockmann is the biggest department store in Finland and the massive sales on brand products are highly appreciated. The food department offers a large variety of high quality products. Every day, different items are in sales. Meat and fish products are the most chased items. It is also a good opportunity to look for low prices on typical Finnish items such as Moomin cups or Iittala glasses. In the street, almost everybody is walking with a yellow bag.

4 days of crazy shopping

Big discounts on women clothing

Even if the shop is crowded, Finns are quiet people and respect each other. They won't scream or push you or take the item you have in your hands if you take the last one. Make sure that you don't overtake the line at the cashier.
