Celebrate Gnome Day with AO Glass!

Happy International Gnome Day!!

Greetings AO Family, and Happy International Gnome Day! Or as we would like to call it, Tomte Day!

This Sunday, June 21st, has been widely recognized as an international holiday celebrating gnomes. Many have also referred to this month as “Gnome Month,” where International Garden Gnome Day is celebrated on the 10th. But for us, we are very lucky to have a special gnome of our own, and one we can share with you!

And if you haven’t met the Tomte before…

The Tomte gnomes are the charmed troublemakers that you’ll see wandering around AO, and in many other places. Originating from Nordic Folklore, they are described as mischievous guardians that would wander onto homesteads, protecting children and crops from harm. These gnomes also have a reputation for causing trouble, and getting up to no good when others aren’t around. Many now also associate the Tomte with the holiday season, but we like to celebrate with them year-round.

Our AO Tomte Family, now with 16 different gnomes, reflect many different traits and qualities. If you’re thinking about getting a thoughtful handblown glass gift for someone, these little gnomes are a special inclusion.

We appreciate you taking the time to learn more, and playfully think about the Tomte. AO Glass is proud to represent its Swedish, Scandinavian roots— and the Tomte gnome is one of our many historically and culturally-inspired offerings.

Happy Tomte Day!

Sincerely,

The AO Family
