I am starting to get nostalgic for Scandinavia. It was around this time last year that we began planning our trip to visit our favorite countries for the holiday season. There is nothing more memorable than visiting Scandinavia at Christmas/New Year’s time when everything has acquired that festive holiday glow and there is no better way to find that special gift than shopping abroad – safe in knowing that there is no chance someone else will get your friend or spouse the exact same thing!
With the current uncertainty of the economy, it is natural to meet the holiday season with more worry than anticipation, but that does not have to be the case. The recent falls in Scandinavian currencies have made Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and others favorable shopping destinations for foreigners. Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, reported that Iceland, in particular, would be likely to receive a higher volume of foreign visitors during the holiday season with the intention to shop. This will prove healthy for Iceland’s wavering economy.
So the message is simple: “In every cloud, there is a silver lining.” With all the election hype and economy drama, a relaxing shopping getaway may be exactly what the doctor ordered and the Nordic Company knows just where to send you.
