NOX Christmas Ornament 2024 – Whimbrel
The NOX Christmas Ornament 2024 – Whimbrel is part of the Jólaórói series, where each year highlights a different Icelandic animal. For 2024 the spotlight is on the whimbrel, a long-legged wader that spends summer in Icelandic moorlands. It is one of the birds that signals the arrival of spring when it returns from its wintering grounds in West Africa to nest in Iceland.
The ornament is made from metal plated in your choice of gold, silver or rosegold. This gives a refined metallic finish while keeping the piece light enough to hang on tree branches, wreaths or window hooks. The clean, contemporary silhouette works with modern minimalist décor as well as more traditional Christmas styling.
Each ornament comes with a black silk ribbon printed with the greeting “Gleðileg jól”. The text appears in Nordic languages alongside German, Spanish and English, so the piece feels both distinctly Icelandic and welcoming to guests from abroad. It is designed as a truly international gift: recognisably Icelandic in its motif and message, yet easy to appreciate wherever it is unwrapped.
The whimbrel’s long legs and curved bill are among its most recognisable features, and the species has inspired Icelandic poems, rhymes and children’s verses. Hanging this ornament on your tree brings a little of that literary and natural heritage into your holiday décor.
Display the 2024 whimbrel ornament on its own, combine it with other NOX Christmas ornaments to build a year-by-year collection, or present it in a gift box with other Icelandic treats from our store. However you use it, this yearly design is meant to become part of your Christmas traditions for years to come.
