Christmas gnomes are fantastic creatures that have a long history in Scandinavian folklore and have been an integral part of Scandinavian Christmas for a very long time. This is one of the reasons why modern versions of traditional Scandinavian Christmas gnomes are very popular decorations during the Christmas holidays. The combination of cheerful, minimalistic designs and heartwarming Christmas colours means they are perfect for adorning cosy little nooks around your home such as on end tables or coffee tables, on windowsills, by the fireplace, and even on or around the Christmas tree.
Whether you refer to them as Christmas gnomes or Christmas elves, one thing is sure – they will bring merry joy to your home throughout Christmas.
HALM Christmas elf
The HALM Christmas elf is a modern version of the traditional Scandinavian Christmas elf. HALM is a friendly fellow with a big, pointy Christmas hat, a round nose, and a big, bushy white beard, and his legs can be adjusted in length. This means you will always be able to find a perfect fit for HALM, whether it is on your windowsill, end table, or on the floor.
LARVIKIT and MUMIN Christmas elves
If you like pointy hats and button noses, these three Christmas elves might be just for you.
LARVIKIT and MUMIN come in muted shades of green, grey, and brown – perfect additions for more modern, Scandinavia-inspired Christmas decor styles. LARVIKIT dons a curly tan hat and grey beard, while you get a green hat and brown beard with MUMIN.
NAT and SVADILFARI Christmas elves
The NAT Christmas elf is one of the larger ones you’ll find in JYSK. With a longer torso, covered by a long, magnificent white beard, this fellow is perfect for decorating the floor in cosy nooks around your home.
Compared to NAT, the SVADILFARI Christmas elf is more modest in size and great at finding the best places to sit down and relax, resting his feet after long days of Christmas mischief. He’s donning a fashionable striped hat and accessories, and as a friendly companion, he’ll uplift the Christmas atmosphere throughout your home
