       @cybette - In Swedish they're called "tomtebloss" (gnome flame).

       @cybette - My parents are from Finland and we had tähtisadetikut as long as I can remember, but this is actually the first time I've heard the Finnish name for them. We always used the Swedish name for them.

       @vattuvarg I've had an idea they were "sadetikut" (rain sticks) until my partner mentioned they actually call them "sädetikut". But I've also seen it as "tähtisadetikut" (star shower stickers) which sound lovely :)this is after living in Finland for 15 years :P
