All sixteen of them in one box: the thirteen Yule Lads, their mother Grýla, her husband Leppalúði and the Yule Cat — hand-painted figures based on the drawings of Brian Pilkington, the artist whose books taught a generation of Icelandic children who these characters are.
In Iceland the lads come down from the mountains one a night from 12 December — Sheep-Cote Clod first, Candle Beggar last on Christmas Eve — each with his own mischief: Spoon Licker, Door Slammer, Sausage Swiper, Window Peeper. Children leave a shoe in the window and find a small gift in the morning, or a potato if they have misbehaved. With the full set you can tell the whole story, one figure at a time.
Each figure is packed separately for the journey. Also available as a set of 14 hanging ornaments; Brian Pilkington's Yule Lads book tells the family's story.

We purchased the full set of the Yule Lads and are delighted! The artwork is wonderful, and they traveled from Reykjavik to Chattanooga Tennessee via DHL in less than a week in time to grace our dining room for New Year's Eve!
Quick and safe delivery and wonderful sculptures 😉
This companywas really easy todo business with, The tracking updates were timly and the productarrived undammaged.
My only issue was the suprise Import Tax of approximately $200 on a $350 purchase. It would have been nice to knowabout this additional charge before I made my purchase. I guess this is what people mean by the shipping company is not paying the tariff the purchaser is.
We ordered the complete Yule lads collection including Gryla. Fabulous. I’m so happy. Shipping was fast. Thank you for the 15% tariff discount. That’s very kind of you. Highly recommend this lovely shop!
Quick delivery and box arrived in perfect shape. Couldn’t wait to get these after seeing them in person at the Christmas store in Reykjavik!! We just couldn’t fit them in our luggage. So glad I was able to order these online and can’t wait to decorate with them!! Highly recommend!!!
Love them we where in Iceland last year, saw them but only remembered on the way home. Just had to get them for this Christmas and every one after.
The Yule Lads have fascinated me for a while now, and I've been looking all over for some good decorations of them... I was thrilled to come across this set! I'm impressed by how quickly they shipped to the US from Iceland, and all the lads and friends arrived intact and look amazing. I ordered in early December and they even came in time for the start of their "visitation" dates! A delightful, playful addition to my Christmas decor.
I first became interested in the Yule Lads on a recent trip to Iceland. I found them in the store but could not bring them home with me. I ordered them from your store was surprised that the arrived in just a week after placing my order. Ther are wonderful. I can't wait until Christmas to display them.
The Yule Lad figures are great! I recently visited Iceland and knew that I wanted them when I saw them in a store in Reykjavik.
However, I have to say that the Icelandic Shipping Agent only declared the value to be USD 99.99. This caused a problem at the Belgian customs because they believed the value to be higher. This caused some delay and stress on my side until I figured out what to do. In fact, they just needed proof of the purchase price and then they released the package which was then delivered to me. However, it took several days.
Perhaps you can instruct your agent to declare the correct value of the shipment in future so that other customers don't have this experience.
I'm very happy to have the beautiful figures however.
Brilliant service and quick delivery
LOVED all 16 Xmas Yule Lad figurines!! They are exquisite in design and the hand painted colors are absolute perfection. I bought one in Iceland 7 years ago and always wanted the complete set. They are just stunning. They arrived quickly and were packed with great care. Thank you for such beautiful pieces of artwork!
Absolutely OUTSTANDING in every way! Professional and personal service. Quality goods. Met every expectation with good communication, accurate and timely delivery and conscientious follow-up. This kind of reliable and friendly 'transaction' is so rare these days and it is really appreciated. I received my order in the USA quicker than most domestic businesses achieve. I know that I will unhesitatingly be happy to use them again. My thanks to all involved.
These look even better in person. They arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. This store is amazing. Thank you!!
My family loves these figurines.
Saw this beauty when I was visiting Iceland. Couldn’t stop thinking about it for years. So glad I ordered! Super fast shipping. All came packed beautiful. Thank you!
After visiting Iceland last year, we wanted to share the stories of the Yule Lads with family back in Canada. The people who helped us on the phone were wonderful, and we received the shipment within days! Thanks to everyone who helped us. You brought the wonder of Iceland to us once again.
Loved the website and how easy it is to use. Delivery to the US was flawless and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!
I orderder the set of Yule Lads Figures when they were out of stock. I emailed the shop on sunday and got a very quick reply. The next friday they were delivered in Holland. The figures are very pretty and I lover them. The service of The Icelandic Store is excellent. Very friendly and helpfull people.
Great! We bought a set of yule lad statues. Quality was excellent and they arrived very quickly and in perfect shape!!
Great service and very quick delivery. This is the souvenir we didn’t buy in Iceland when we we there a year ago. Wonderful country and folklore.
Ever since I brought back my brother a book on the Yule Lads, he’s been interested in Icelandic folklore. These are going to make an excellent gift. They were packaged well and the shipping was so fast. Very satisfied!
The set is wonderful, and can't wait to have them opened in December. Thank you so much!
Order got here on time for Christmas. Everything intact. We were in Iceland in January 2018, and she fell in love with the Yule Lads story. Thank you for helping me give her a great Christmas. By the way, we’ll be back, we loved Iceland! Wonderful people!
I found out about these on my visit to Iceland last summer. I thought about them for 1.5 years and knew I had to have them. They were very well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. I posted them to Facebook with the explanation of each with the little booklet that was provided. Some of my friends love them!
We loved this particular design of Yule Lads. We are delighted to incorporate this Icelandic bit of history into our celebrations. They arrived safely and in good order.
The Icelandic store delivered our Yule Lads quickly, and in perfect condition.
The entire Yule Lads collection is beautiful with carefully painted detail. Such a great representation of Icelandic culture. I had shopped at the store when I visited Iceland and was pleased to find an online strorefront.
After I made the online purchase, I received it in less than 48 hours, and texts were sent to me with detailed shipping updates every step of the way from Reykjavík to Kansas City.
I love them and I am very satisfied .
Excellent...unbelievable they arrived a week after ordering. I thought it would take months. The figurines are great and will be a part of our Christmas tradition.
They arrived in perfect condition and have beautiful detail. Starting a Christmas tradition that I hope to pass down!!
