So i am taking the kids to Lapland in Rovaniemi, Finland tomorrow for the day. How much do you think i will need to take for the odd souvenir and drink whilst there ?

A lot! At least for the odd drink- booze is c expensive in Finland

we did similar 10 years ago, flights from Glasgow, kids were 12 and 4. Think we spent under £50 as everything was included. Was a great day out, one we won't forget, for all the right reasons

We're there now (not Rovaniemi, though - Iso syote for us). 'Finland' fleece lined bobble hats are €14. Beers are €5 ish. Hand made Christmas tree table decorations with lights and santa and reindeer are €40. This is all I know.

Thanks for this Markie, great info. I am hoping to get away with not having to buy overpriced tatt for the kids but afraid i may get sucked in

Take what you would reasonably want to spend on souvenirs and buy the best of what that gets you.
We went 10 years ago and I can't remember what we bought back but I can remember just about every minute of the time we had there. Sadly our now 15 year old son remembers very little.
