Product Description

Handcrafted Christmas Elf with Joyful Charm

Bring holiday cheer, warmth, and handcrafted magic to your festive decor with Zingle Kringle, the Christmas Elf. Made from a real dried gourd grown in the United States, Zingle Kringle is a one-of-a-kind natural Christmas decoration. Her golden battery-operated candle creates a cozy glow that enhances any mantel, tabletop centerpiece, or entryway display.

From Seedling to Handmade Holiday Decor

It may surprise you that Zingle Kringle began as a tiny gourd seedling on a farm! Gourds grow on vines like pumpkins and naturally dry in the sun, creating the perfect surface for carving. I carefully cut the tops off the dried gourd, clean out the middle, and carve Zingle Kringle’s cheerful face and delicate snowflake details, just like a mini jack-o-lantern. Translucent paints and wax bring out the gourd’s natural beauty and create a smooth, velvety surface.

Festive Handmade Elf Hat

Zingle Kringle wears a classic Santa-red fleece elf hat with fluffy faux fur trim and a pom-pom. Sprigs of pine, berries, cinnamon sticks, jingle bells, and small Christmas charms adorn the hat, giving this gourd elf a festive personality full of holiday cheer. Each elf hat is unique and reflects the personality of its gourd.

Personalized, One-of-a-Kind Gourd Elf

Every Zingle Kringle elf is one-of-a-kind. His name is wood-burned onto the back, and the inside is left natural, reminding you he is not made of plastic, but a real vegetable brought to life. The included battery-operated tealight candle with timer lights up Zingle Kringle for about six hours and turns off automatically for hands-free holiday glow.
