At Swedish Gift Store, we specialize in authentic Scandinavian imports and Nordic-inspired gifts, celebrating the rich traditions of Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland. We curate a collection of genuine Scandinavian products, sourcing direct imports when possible while ensuring that even globally manufactured items maintain the spirit of Nordic craftsmanship and design. Our commitment is to quality, heritage, and authenticity, avoiding cheap imitations in favor of products that reflect true Scandinavian artistry.

Swedish Gift Store – A Legacy of Scandinavian Heritage

Founded in August 2022 by Randy, Cheryl, and Brad Kempenich, Swedish Gift Store is the result of a deep-rooted love for Swedish culture, tradition, and craftsmanship. With Swedish and German heritage, the Kempenich family sought to bring the rich Scandinavian traditions they share to America’s Little Sweden—right in the heart of Lindström, Minnesota.

 

With personal ties to the area—summers spent on Green Lake, family homes in Chisago City, and a long-standing connection to the community—the Swedish Gift Store was created as a place where everyone can celebrate Nordic culture. Whether you have Swedish roots, Scandinavian connections, or simply a love for Nordic-inspired gifts, you are always welcome at Swedish Gift Store, where you’ll find unique treasures and timeless traditions.

Discover a world of Swedish tradition and Nordic craftsmanship at Swedish Gift Store. From imported Scandinavian home décor and cozy Nordic wear to unique Viking collectibles and Swedish treats—there’s something special waiting for everyone.

We strive to bring quality craftsmanship, timeless designs, and the spirit of Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland to America’s Little Sweden.

 

As a family-owned business, founded in August 2022, we take pride in our Swedish, German, and Irish heritage, curating thoughtfully selected products that reflect Scandinavian authenticity, sustainability, and artistry.
