I will be migrating from Japan to Finland and would like to bring gifts for my Finnish host and friends. As Japan has a lot of really cute stationery item which thought might impress my host and friends. Could any one share with me the kinds of stationery items in Finland?
My focus is, but not limited to:
(1) Correction tapes and pens
(2) Erasers
(3) Pencil sharpeners
(4) Automatic pencils
(5) Stapless staplers

You might be misjudging what kind of items are common in Finland.it-is-finnish wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 4:46 amI will be migrating from Japan to Finland and would like to bring gifts for my Finnish host and friends.
As an example, many Finnish supermarkets are now selling Japanese ramune lemonade.
Such items are only interesting for people who are still using paper, which is becoming rare in Finland.it-is-finnish wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 4:46 amAs Japan has a lot of really cute stationery item which thought might impress my host and friends.

Geez Finlandboy.... what a reply. People still use paper and pens. Apart from muji, have not seen japanese office items in helsinki.
Op: that is a cute idea. In my opinion. pencils are not anymore in use, only perhaps the people who do crosswords use them. Correction items also limited use. No5 sounds very interesting!
For kids anything would go.

I second Number 5.
For this kind of gift, I figure it's more about the cuteness and design of the stationary than the practicality. Whatever specific item you think would make a cute gift would probably work well.
