Swedish gingerbread cookie tins measuring about 20 cms diameter and 9 cms deep. One is blue, with "Annas Pepparkakor" written across the lid. Around the base, are painted designs of varios Swedish folk costumes representing different regions in Sweden. The other three tins have Xmas motifs bu famous Swedish artist Jenny Nystrom. Two are of the Swedish mythological creature "Tomten"/Santa/Gnome (see Wikipedia extract below for more info) leaving Xmas porridge for his landlords, the third one depicts an old-fashioned Christmas, with children decorating the Christmas tree.

I have listed as pick-up only, but am willing to consider posting it - let me know if you want me to post them and I'll have to research the cost due to their bulkiness (they are however quite light).

- Om tomten inte får en klick smör i sin julgröt kan han bli arg och göra stor skada.
