Shop Overview
Hjem + Home is MSP’s go-to specialty shop for tasteful home goods and décor—think the kind of items you’d pick up in a modern lifestyle boutique rather than a typical airport gift shop. It’s ideal for travelers who want a polished, packable gift (or a small upgrade for their own space) without hunting through generic souvenirs.
The assortment leans into design-forward pieces with a Scandinavian/Midwest “hygge” vibe: cozy accents, well-made everyday essentials, and giftables that feel intentional. Expect a curated mix of brands (often including regional makers) rather than a single-label experience, and a relaxed browse where everything is displayed like a mini home boutique.
What to Buy
- Giftable home accents: small décor pieces, trays, tabletop items, and seasonal touches that travel well in a carry-on.
- Cozy essentials: candles, throws, and comfort-forward items that make great “host gifts” or thank-you presents.
- Minnesota-leaning finds: look for items that nod to local style or regional makers—more subtle and premium than classic souvenir tees.
- Last-minute elevated gifts: if you need something nicer than snacks/books, this is one of Terminal 1’s strongest options for under-$50 to mid-range gifting.
Price note: Hjem + Home is not a duty-free store, so there are no duty-free savings here. For price-driven shopping on items like fragrance, alcohol, or cosmetics, compare with MSP Duty Free locations in Terminal 1 instead. Hjem + Home’s value is in curation, uniqueness, and better-than-average giftability—not discounted pricing.
Location & Hours
Hjem + Home is located in Terminal 1 (MSP), among the airport’s main retail mix. Terminal 1 also has the widest shopping selection overall, so it’s easy to pair this stop with nearby specialty and gift shops.
Directions: If you’re in Terminal 1, head toward the main shopping corridor (often referred to as the MSP Mall area) and look for the specialty retail cluster near other local-gift concepts. If you’re connecting, allow a few extra minutes to browse—this store is best enjoyed when you’re not rushing a boarding call.
Security: Many Terminal 1 shops are located in the MSP Mall area with pre/post-security access depending on the storefront. If you haven’t cleared security yet, confirm you’re entering the correct zone for your gate plan.
Best times to shop: Quieter windows are typically mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Peak traffic tends to hit early mornings (first-wave departures) and late afternoons/early evenings (business and connection banks), when popular giftables can sell down.
Shopping Tips
- Duty-free reminder: Not applicable here. If you’re specifically shopping to save via duty-free allowances, head to MSP Duty Free instead and keep receipts handy for international arrival inspections.
- Pack smart: Choose compact items (candles, small décor, textiles) and ask for protective wrapping if offered—especially for breakables.
- Returns/exchanges: Airport specialty shops often have tighter return windows or may require returns in person. Before you buy, ask the cashier for the return policy and whether tags/receipts are required.
- Payment: Expect standard U.S. payments: major credit cards and typically mobile pay. Keep a card handy for speed during rush periods.
