意思
A present with a high price.
文化背景
Finns often downplay the value of gifts they give. If they give a 'kallis lahja', they might say it was 'on sale' to avoid making the recipient feel uncomfortable. There is a strong preference for practical or 'experience' gifts over purely expensive luxury items. A 'kallis lahja' that is also useful is highly respected. In business, giving a 'kallis lahja' can be seen as bribery if it exceeds a certain value (usually around 50-100 euros). Transparency is key. It is common for guests to chip in together to buy one 'kallis lahja' from the couple's registry rather than many small ones.

Remember: kallis -> kalliin. The 's' disappears and the 'i' doubles!

If you give a 'kallis lahja' to a Finn, don't mention the price. Let them find out or guess.
