The "Dala horse" is a common souvenir people bring back from Sweden, and many Swedes around the world will have one more more in their home as a reminder of their origin.

The Dala horse is from the "Dalarna" region of Sweden and was originally more of a child's toy than the symbol of Sweden it is today, like Ikea and Volvo.
