These Vermont made glass gnomes provide a vigilant eye and joyful spark to your home year around! They come in 13 nature-inspired colors and measure around 3.5-4" tall. Each Tomte is shaped by hand and has a unique look and personality. They arrive in sturdy paper tubes and a card that presents the entire Tomte Family. A Tomte is an essential part of Nordic folklore. They’re mischievous and devoted little gnomes who have tasked themselves with the protection of a homestead - especially the children and animals. They patter around at night, checking on the sleeping inhabitants and leaving tiny footprints in the snow. 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 - whether it's a friend, spouse, or neighbor. We’ve created the Tomte to provide a joyful reminder that you are in good company.
