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.
KULDE Christmas elf
The KULDE Christmas elf is a modern version of the traditional Scandinavian Christmas elf. KULDE 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 KULDE, whether it is on your windowsill, end table, or on the floor.
LARVIKIT and BOND Christmas elves
If you like pointy hats and button noses, these three Christmas elves might be just for you.
LARVIKIT comes in muted shades of green, grey, and brown – perfect additions for more modern, Scandinavian-inspired Christmas decor styles. LARVIKIT dons a curly tan hat and grey beard that make the friendly fellow so adorable.
If you prefer your elf decorations in more classic, traditional Christmas colours, look no further than the BOND Christmas elf. The BOND elf has a pointy red Christmas hat available in different patterns. This means you can choose your favourite among the bunch, or you can mix and match if you cannot settle for just one friendly fellow.
NAT and SVADILFARI Christmas elves
The NAT Christmas elf is one of the larger ones you’ll find at 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.
Fluffy Christmas companions such as these friendly Christmas elves are a great way to elevate the holiday cheer and joy in your home; however, they are not the only option you have. You’ll find many more options for Christmas decor in our assortment.
