Handicrafts
Sámi handicrafts made from reindeer skin and horn, or Arctic birch, are popular souvenirs; trekkers may want to buy a kuksa (carved birch cup).
The traditional Sámi costume, which is very colourful, and handmade Sámi hats, mittens and shoes are also top sellers.
The widest selection of souvenirs (and decent prices) can be found in shops at Napapiiri.
