Seems not sadly, but it would make a great gift.
Lots of people will complain about how the state is getting involved in peoples lives etc so it would have been funny if we could buy them online from overseas too, thus creating a profitable business

The box is heavily subsidized and even Finns can't buy them directly. Some people re-sell theirs but mostly on finnish language baby websites.
