Finland's beautiful lakes and forests and unspoiled tracts of Aland Islands is bound to leave you awestruck and its Lapland, Europe's last Wilderness area flocked with Reindeers has barely failed to impress ever. Turn your Christmas shopping spree in Finland into a mini vacation and bring home the biggest Santa toy from the hippest Christmas stores in Finland. Pack your bags and set sail for Finland!
