The Legend of Tomte

A Tomte (or tomtar, plural) is an essential part of Nordic folklore. They’re mischievous but devoted little elves or 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. Originally it was thought that the Tomte was the ancestral spirit of the first farmer to own a plot of land (tomt in Swedish). Although 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 - whether it's a friend, spouse, or neighbor. We’ve created the Tomte to provide a joyful reminder that you are in good company.
