Meet Alfred, a classic Tomte with a playful twist. His tall felted hat curls into a whimsical spiral, making him a standout piece for any holiday display. At just under 10 inches (25 cm) tall, Alfred has just the right presence to sit on a mantle, windowsill, or tucked among greenery on a festive table.

About the Tradition

In Nordic folklore, Tomtes are known as mischievous yet protective little guardians of the home. Families would leave small treats to keep them happy and prevent their pranks—an endearing tradition that continues to this day.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Handcrafted by Åsas Tomtebod in Gotland, Sweden, Alfred is made with the finest natural wool and authentic sheepskin from Gotland and Iceland. Every Tomte is individually handmade, so no two are ever exactly alike—each one carries its own charm and personality.
