Free Maternity Box To All New Mothers
Whenever a Finnish woman is expecting a child, the state provides them with a free 'maternity box.' Equipped with a mattress, sheets, sleeping bag, jump suits, socks, diapers and more, it's pretty much everything a mom needs. The box even doubles as a cot. This clever invention is designed to give all babies an equal start in life, regardless of the wealth they are born into, and has helped Finland achieve one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world.
BTW, #18 is not 100% true. We pay more taxes than we need to the rest of the year to compensate for this. This is an old odd thing created so people could have more money for Christmas.
