Someone is looking after you…These little glass gnomes make great gifts and provide a vigilant eye and joyful spark as they hang out in your home no matter the season. We’ve created the Tomte to provide a joyful reminder that you are in good company.

The Legend of Tomte: A Tomte (or tomtar, plural) is an essential part of Nordic folklore. They’re mischievous but devoted gnomes who have tasked themselves with the protection of a homestead - especially the children and animals. Originally it was thought that the Tomte was the ancestral spirit of the first farmer to own a plot of land (tomt in Swedish). Even though they are loyal caretakers, they may also cause trouble if the house or farm isn’t run to their liking...

With the feelings of isolation and uncertainty that the last few years have brought, it’s nice to know that someone’s looking out for you.

They measure 3.5-4 inches tall and are available in 16 hat colors.
