Christmas ornaments & tree decorations

Christmas ornaments and decorations are more than just adornments. They awaken memories and bring the Christmas tree to life. As early as the 19th century, people began decorating their trees with ornaments made of glass, wood, and fruit, and even today each ornament tells a story. At Skansenbutiken you’ll find both classic and playful decorations in wool, wood, and glass, all rooted in Swedish Christmas tradition.

Our handmade baubles feature painted details reminiscent of Christmas trees from the past. Perhaps you remember how each bauble was carefully unwrapped from its tissue paper, hung on the tree, and reflected the glow of candles or sparkling lights. Each bauble is a piece of craftsmanship with its own story, a decoration to treasure and bring out year after year.

Want to enhance that nostalgic feeling? Paper garlands with Swedish flags have adorned trees since the early 1900s—a beloved tradition that still spreads the same joy today.

Decorating the Christmas tree together is more than preparing for the holiday—it’s a moment that unites generations and makes the tree the heart of the home.
