Tomtar

The tomte is Sweden's most beloved Christmas figure -- a small, bearded gnome in a red hat who watches over the home and family through the winter months. Rooted in Norse and Scandinavian folk tradition, tomtar have been part of Swedish Christmas for centuries, long before the modern Santa Claus mythology merged with their legend. Sweden's Finest carries one of the largest tomte selections available outside Sweden, with pieces ranging from small 4-inch wooden figures by Butticki of Sweden to charming fabric tomtar in a range of sizes and poses. They make quintessential Swedish Christmas gifts and cherished display pieces. Browse the full tomtar collection.
