I was vegetarian for 11 years, fully plant based for 2, and I did cook meat at events with people who ate meat. No demographic is a singularity, though, and there are many veggie folk who wouldn't, either on ethical grounds or on grounds of having no bloody clue how to cook meat properly.

Hi Beeple!

A few family members moved to Finland (Helsinki region). I'm in the United States, but wanted to send birthday presents to them. Ideally without the expense, delay, and potential for shipping damage that comes with getting something near me and shipping it across the world.

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions for ordering gifts from within Finland or the surrounding region from the US? Is ordering from, say, Sweden akin to ordering between states (ie, no special considerations or hassles), or would it be best to only look within Finland itself?

I would prefer something akin to Etsy where I could find something handmade and/or novel. That seems more likely to encounter a language/payment barrier, though, and I'm not even sure where to start looking for something like that.

Thanks in advance for any help!
