Trolls are older than humankind. They’re giants living in the mountains, forests and rivers of Norway. You wouldn't want to meet up with a real troll, but if you’re looking for trolls that are ‘so ugly they’re cute’, to take home with you, just stop on by to see our collection. We have Fosse, NyForm, Lommedalen and Tusse trolls. And we have a great collection of books about trolls.
Nisser (house elves), on the other hand, are gentle folk that live nearby in your barn or attic. They are friends to all animals and were environmentalists before the word was invented. They can be very mischievous especially if you forget about them or do not believe in them. Remember to set out a dish of rømmegrøt (sour cream porridge) or risengrynsgrøt (rice porridge) for them at Christmas and treat your pets kindly and you shouldn't have any trouble with the nisser at your house. If you would like a nisse figurine to set about your home, we have an assortment to choose from designed by Norwegian artists such as Johnnie Jacobsen and Suzanne Toftey.
Our Norwegian jewelry comes in a wide range of styles, from reproductions of Viking jewelry including amulets of Thor’s hammer (Mjølnir), to the traditional sterling silver sølje, to modern glass. We also carry Norwegian enameled heart pendants that have the Lord’s Prayer engraved on the back. Norwegian jewelry comes in pewter, bronze, sterling silver, enamel, and glass.
We carry a wide range of American-made, Norwegian inspired, tile-trivets many of which were designed by Suzanne Toftey, Sonja Anderson or Gayle Oram, all award-winning rosemaling artists. Gayle’s tiles are available beautifully set into an oak frame as a clock. Sonja has a delightful ‘Sonja Rose’ pattern on china pieces. Suzanne’s work is available on plates and figurines too. We also have the Norwegian table grace (I Jesu navn…) and a framed triptych of Bryggen (the Hanseatic League buildings in Bergen).
Henning, GlassForum, Hadeland Glassverk and Porsgrund Porcelain are just four other Norwegian companies to choose wonderful gift items from. The hand carved wood and handcrafted glass pieces are an inspiration and what better way to remember Christmas each year than with an annual Porsgrund Christmas Plate? Also available from Porsgrund are the Farmer’s Rose, Hearts & Pines, Maxi Straw and Mini Straw patterns.

And speaking of food, we have: Freia milk chocolate, SOLO orange beverage, Gjende shortbread cookies, Toro mixes for rømmegrøt (sour cream porridge) and risengrynsgrøt (rice porridge) and Sunnmoere fiskebollar (fishballs).
