Ejlif & Effi Snowmen

I made many snowmen in my childhood. When the snow was perfect I was always the first outside in the garden to make a snowman. Even back then, my snowmen were sweet, fun and chubby, and I spent a lot of time finding the perfect round stones for their eyes. Sometimes I made a whole family, with a mother, father and children. Then came the thaw, which I was not happy about. The snowmen melted and got smaller day after day, until at last they were gone completely. That’s just the way it is with snowmen. But my snowmen figurines do not melt. The most they will do is melt your heart with their quirky expressions and their small, round bodies with little chubby rolls. - Etly Klarborg. Ejlif loves to snuggle and play in the snow, and is very fond of his hat as it keeps his little ears warm in the freezing cold weather. Effi is gentle and adorable; she has a real love for knitted hats and loves to dress up.

About Klarborg: Woman-founded Danish design brand Klarborg has one main goal — to spread joy, happiness, and hygge through its whimsical cast of characters. From its quirky elfs, each with their own personality traits, to its tiny, lighthearted Nisserikker ornaments, collectors can encapsulate a year, a specific event, an anniversary and so much more. Artist Etly Klarborg loved elfs and their significance in Danish folklore long before she started her company in 1986. She grew up with a vibrant imagination and created her first elf at just 4 years old, crafting it from mud while playing outside. The creatures helped connect her with her own mother, a storyteller whose personality shone bright. It is the childlike quality of the elfs that have endured for all these years.
