Available in a variety of colors and sizes, these dolls are handmade, often dressed in sheep's wool, and made of authentic Estonian materials.
Knitwear
Knitwear is an important part of Estonian culture as it is handmade and available throughout the year due to the country's cold climate. You can find great finds available in a variety of colors, shapes, designs, patterns, and sizes.
From hats and sweaters to gloves and cashmere, there is something for everyone. Pay attention to the hat-scarf combination, which is a versatile combination.
Marzipan

By the way, there's a whole marzipan museum in Tallinn where you can see figures made from this dessert, so be sure to include it in your itinerary.
Juniper wood crafts
Craftsmen in Estonia use juniper wood to make incredible things that are easy to get. Juniper wood is resistant, usually dark in color and thick, making the products attractive and functional. From coasters to serving dishes and utensils, you can buy a lot of things because each item is lightweight and durable.
Vana Tallinn
Vana Tallinn can remind you of your Estonian days with every sip, as it is one of the most popular liqueurs in the country. The mixture of lemon, orange, vanilla, and rum is invigorating. This drink can be drunk neat or added to tea, coffee, or cocktails.
However, check your airline's and country's rules on taking alcohol with you.
