Secret Santa felt

Life without elves is simply unthinkable, at least in Scandinavia. There, the tiny and helpful creatures with the white razzle-dazzle beards and high, pointed caps are very revered. Everyone knows an elf, and everyone in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland knows exactly where their elf lives, whether in the cellar, under the stairs or in the woodshed, whether in the woods behind the house or in the church around the corner. Among so many elves, the Christmas elves, the industrious helpers of Santa Claus, must of course not be forgotten! The "Julenisse" are given a bowl of porridge or rice pudding for Christmas, because these dishes are very popular among gnomes and make them so happy that they will continue to haunt the house as lucky charms next year. You should definitely treat them to such a Christmas feast, because an elf, as lovable as he may be, can become a little displeased if he is not properly appreciated. Then he remembers his origins as a goblin and likes to make one or two things disappear.

So if you include these charming hand-felted Christmas gnomes in your holiday decorations, you better not forget to put, for example, a cookie plate nearby. Because even if the gnomes are made of pure New Zealand virgin wool, so you can not be fully sure that they do not awaken to life at night, when everything is asleep, and look around a little in the house, yard and basement ...

During her backpacking trip through Nepal, the Dane Gry Staunstrup was immediately captivated by the openness and warmth of the people - and by their craftsmanship. She was able to observe in detail how skillfully and skilfully Nepalese women felted wool into Objekten. The idea of using this skill and combining Nepalese craftsmanship with Danish design was quickly born. And the idea was immediately followed by action.

Since 2000, the company Gry & Sif has been producing a wide range of products from wool felt in Nepal. The designs supplied by Gry Staunstrup are in typical Danish design, as striking as they are discreet and at the same time carefree and cheerful; the production is carried out by Nepalese women using traditional craftsmanship. Now Fair Trade certified, Gry & Sif stands for fair wages, good working conditions and transparency. Only pure new wool from New Zealand sheep is used for the felt products - each of which is unique and handmade.
