About this item
- A "tomte" is a small, mischievous, and protective household spirit from Nordic folklore, often depicted as a small, bearded man with a red cap and gray clothes, who is believed to care for the home and farm animals. These come as a set and are approx 23cm - 8" Tall
- Appearance: Tomtes are typically described as small, bearded men, about the size of a young child, wearing old, often ragged clothes, usually gray or navy, and a bright red cap
- Responsibilities: Tomtes are believed to care for the home and farm animals, especially horses, and are responsible for maintaining a clean and orderly home or farm.
- Respect and Trust: Tomtes demand the respect and trust of the farmer, and a bowl of julegrøt (Christmas porridge) with butter on Christmas Ev
- Other Names: Tomtes are also known as "nisse" in Norway and Denmark, and "tonttu" in Finland.
- Modern Interpretation: In modern Sweden, the tomte has taken on more of the Father Christmas role, and no Swedish home would be without its own tomte in the festive period.
- Offending a Tomte: A dirty house or stables, or treating animals unfairly, will surely upset your tomte, and if anyone spills anything, legend says they are told to SHOUT out to warn the tomte not to fall into the puddle
- In Popular Culture: The tomte is featured in many ways, including Hans Christian Anderson's fairytales

I wrote to Bigamart's customer support and they accompanied the process of reshipping the item until it finally arrived. I felt a genuine effort to solve the problem till it was finally solved.

The package was here in Australia from England in a few days — so quick! Something was missing and they refunded it straight away. Pretty happy with these guys.
