Bjúgnakrækir and Gluggagægir are the ninth and tenth Icelandic Yule Lads, coming on 20 and 21 December. Bjúgnakrækir stole sausages; Gluggagægir peered in through the windows and sometimes helped himself to the toys he saw.
On this ball one hugs a long red sausage and the other looks out through an empty window frame, on a bright green background with magenta stars. The ball is about 8 cm (3.1 in) across, painted by hand from the inside after Brian Pilkington's drawings, and comes on a gold cord in a lined red box.
Also available as the set of all seven balls.
