To Finns the sauna is a necessity, not a luxury. Before there was widespread healthcare mothers gave birth in the sauna; it was the first structure built by a family as it provided living, storage, bathing, warming and sterile conditions. “Sauna” is the most appropriated Finnish word. An ancient word, it describes the Finnish bath as well as the bathhouse proper. Having a firewood sauna by a lake at night in the middle of the summer is a magical experience. Because of the sauna playing such an important role in the Finnish culture I knew that we would have to include some sauna stuff. After looking at no less than 15 different buckets this was the most beautiful one we found.
