And the days when you want to eat something new and exotic instead of your ordinary dinner. Our vision is to offer you a place on the Internet where you can find these things from around the world. We have started with our own home region - Scandinavia.

To create a mix of crafts, gifts and food with both excellent quality and a cultural background, demands a careful and endless seeking for the best craftsmen and producers the region has to offer. We have created The Northerner by building up a network of distribution partners in different places in Scandinavia. The heart of everything is the Northerner's website itself.

If you don't have the possibility to come and visit Scandinavia we will come to you with the best collection of goods Scandinavia has to offer.
