HO! HO! HO! Santa’s here with his extra-tall hat and loads of festive cheer! These quirky, long-shaped gourd Santas are a one-of-a-kind creation by master gourd artists Lizzet and Rodolfo from Cochas, Peru. The process is pure magic: first, the gourds are dried, cleaned, and color-dyed, then Rodolfo hand-draws each Santa. After that, the real fun begins—hand-carved with intricate details and finished with a technique called pyrography, where the gourds are burned to create rich, darkened accents. Every Santa is unique, with natural variations and personality! Available in merry red, green, and purple ready to bring the spirit of Christmas into any room. Price is per ornament (sold in sets of 12).

Why Gourds Make Great Gifts

Natural charm, handmade character, and a story worth sharing.

A gourd ornament or keepsake brings together nature, craftsmanship, and individuality in a way that feels personal and enduring. Each piece begins as a fruit grown from the earth, shaped by nature and transformed by creative hands, so no two are ever quite alike.

Lightweight and easy to hang and display, gourd ornaments bring warmth and personality to holiday trees, year round or seasonal décor. Each gourd gift carries a little of the natural world, the artist who made it, and the joy of giving something that makes someone smile.
