Product Description

Handcrafted Christmas Elf with Whimsical Charm

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

From Farm to Handcrafted Holiday Decor

It may surprise you that Pip began life 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 Pip’s cheerful face and delicate snowflake details, just like a mini jack-o-lantern. Translucent paints and wax enhance the gourd’s natural beauty and create a smooth, velvety surface.

Festive Handmade Elf Hat

Pip wears a burlap elf hat trimmed with fluffy winter white sherpa. A jingle bell hangs from the tip of the hat and is accented with a touch of handcrafted snow for whimsical holiday flair. Each elf hat is unique and reflects the personality of the gourd, creating a delightful handcrafted holiday accent.

Personalized, One-of-a-Kind Gourd Elf

Every Pip elf is truly unique. Her name is wood-burned onto the back, and she is dressed with natural textures that remind you she is not made of plastic but a real vegetable brought to life. The included battery-operated tealight candle with timer lights up Pip for about six hours and turns off automatically for hands-free holiday glow.
