Because Christmas is right around the corner, I decided to dedicate this episode to giving you ideas for Iceland-themed gifts you can get for yourself or a loved one this year. Below are all of the places I recommend getting a gift that was either made or designed in Iceland.

Iceland Themed Gift Ideas Talked About in the Podcast

1.) The Handknitting Association of Iceland is where I get my Icelandic lopapeysas (sweaters). They are handmade in Iceland from 100% Icelandic wool. https://bit.ly/handknitted_iceland

2.) Shop at the All Things Iceland Merch shop for awesome Iceland themed goodies (https://shop.allthingsiceland.com/)

Get a 10% discount on your first purchase when you use the code Iceland10 at checkout.

3) Anna Rósa Skincare – https://www.annarosaskincare.com/

In  the video below, I talk about how the Bliss Healing Balm from Anna Rósa skincare has been a game changer for my skin during the winter.

 
4.) Icelandic Food & Sweets  – On this site (https://bit.ly/nammi_christmas), you can find an assortment of foods that Icelanders eat during the Christmas season. I recommend ordering some and trying them out.
 

5.) Infused Salts from Saltverk are sustainably harvested in Iceland. They have a lovely selection of flavors that are so fun to try. (https://saltverk.com/)
