He’s already wrapped it. He just won’t say what it is.

Tinsel is the quickest elf in the workshop, and the most difficult to keep an eye on. He has a habit of disappearing mid-task, reappearing somewhere entirely different, and somehow having finished three jobs nobody asked him to do while leaving the one he was supposed to be doing in a state of cheerful chaos. His tinsel trail gives him away every time.

He is not sorry. He is never sorry.

The Story Behind Tinsel

Tinsel is hand-crafted with care, each one made individually so no two are ever quite the same. That mischievous energy is entirely his own, he arrives already mid-scheme, already three steps ahead of whatever sensible plan was in place.

He belongs to the Festive Folk, the Northern Nomes of the Hearth Path, who appear when the nights grow long and the fire burns low, bringing warmth, wonder, and the occasional unexplained disappearance of the good scissors.

A Northern Nome with Character

  • Hand-crafted using reclaimed timber, dressed in felt
  • Approximately 14cm tall (each one is unique — yours may vary slightly)
  • Comes with a Festive Folk swing tag
  • A wee touch of Scottish Christmas magic

A Little Piece of the Highlands

Tinsel makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves Christmas, chaos, and the particular magic of the festive season. He’ll find a spot on a shelf or mantelpiece and make the whole room feel like something is about to happen.

This is for decoration only and not suitable as a toy for children. Contains small parts.

He didn’t do it. But he knows exactly who did.
