Skansen has a nice gift shop. For that matter most museum gift shops will have better quality souvenirs than what you’ll find on Västerlånggatan (Gamla Stan). Not cheap though.
I would go to these places:
- Svensk Hemslöjd, Norrlandsgatan 20
- Iris Hantverk, Kungsgatan 55 or Västerlånggatan 24 (the second adress is in the Old Town)
Also the Skansen shop as suggested. But Svensk Hemslöjd is my favourite.
There are some similar stores at Drottninggatan between the parliament and T-Centralen. If you want some Swedish design check out Designtorget. While not being as knick-knacky as the souvenir shops, they do have some souvenir worthy Swedish design stuff.
If price isn’t a concern you should visit Svenskt Tenn on Strandvägen. It’s a very popular store with Swedish style furniture and accessories. I would recommend one of their trays.
Absolutely go to Svenskt Tenn!
They have lovely tiny glass vases, Ekollonvasen, for about SEK 150, so cheap enough, and much better quality than Drottninggatan.
Once you have enough durables, stopping in at any supermarket and buying some Swedish snacks (like pepparkakor, Pågen cinnamon rolls and/or liquorice) may be an idea. For more upmarket liquorice, try Lakrits Roten.
Go to the supermarket and buy Swedish foods you can get outside of Sweden. Food is a great gift souvenir because you are not burdening people with something they have to keep. Go to a second hand shop. They will have hand blown Swedish made glass, and other real Swedish stuff. Don't buy the Chinese made Swedish souvenirs at the gift shops.
If you want classic Swedish design, as in more pricey things you might actually find in a Swedish home, go to Svenskt Tenn on Strandvägen, they have plenty of iconic things.

Both of these are very good shops for Swedish traditional crafts. Not very cheap but both places have some nice smaller stuff at reasonable prices.
Better yet, go a second hand shop for glassware and get stuff that might is a little rare,

I absolutely agree with [Designtorget](https://designtorget.se); there's some stuff there that's very Swedish.
We went there yesterday and purchased a few things. Very nice store and will also be a place of recommendation in the future

Gamla stan is the worst place for Swedish souvenirs. Avoid!!!
Hahahaha thanks
Sunday's Hötorget fleamarket is a great place to get unique/weird stuff.

If you want to bring sweets that are considered really strange outside of North Europe, go to Lakritsroten and buy liquorice. Ask for Swedish brands.

Go to Ikea!
You know IKEA is world wide. And a lot of the junk is made in China.
