IN Swedish folklore, tomtar are magical creatures that protect and help you-watchful, kind, but always mischievous. In winter, as the cold grips and snow falls beyond the window, these cheerful figures return to our houses like happy memories.
Snow Dream, or Snödröm in Swedish, is L:A Bruket’s seasonal gifting collection shaped by joy, warmth and childlike wonder. Made up of five kits, each one is a limited-edition ritual offering a calming journey through scent, texture and time to oneself. Made to be given to you or your loved ones, like the tomtar, these kits help you embrace the beauty of winter.
Each kit is housed in a box, illustrated with a watercolor of tomtar by artist Alex Simpson, crafted using FSC card. Simpson’s hand-drawn images echo the nostalgia of old storybooks and childhood winter games-the relaxation, comfort and celebration of seasonal festivities.
Alongside the Snow Dream kits, these exclusive watercolors adorn the boxes of our iconic candle and room diffusers in two of the most loved scents: Coriander and Hinoki.

Meanwhile, after the success of the brand’s seasonal Winter Pine launch last year, L:A Bruket welcomes back the scent for 2026 in new boxes printed with a wintery fog water color of a Nordic evergreen tree by artist Alex Simpson.
Limited-edition Winter Pine captures the soul of a Nordic forest in winter, immense, ice-cold and powerful in its silence.
The green resin of fir and galbanum blends with cooling mint. Grounded by earthy patchouli and dry cedarwood, the composition recreates the draw of the woods: fresh, resinous and endlessly renewing.
