Description
A cherished Scandinavian tradition, the Julbock, or Yule Goat, was the historic bringer of gifts. Our Varme Gift Straw Goat brings that same spirit of Jul into your home, serving as a classic centerpiece for a rustic holiday season.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Authentically crafted from natural, dried straw, each handmade Julbock has its own unique character. Slight variations in the straw's color, texture, and dimensions are a hallmark of its artisanal quality. A small amount of shedding is normal, especially when first unboxed.
Construction & Dimensions
A sturdy internal wire frame provides the goat's distinct form and stability. It is held together with tight bindings and comes with its signature red ribbon pre-tied and ready for display.
- Height: 8 inches
- Approximate Length: 6 inches
- Approximate Width: 2.5 inches
Placement & Care
This Julbock is designed for indoor use only to protect its natural materials from moisture and weather. To ensure it lasts for years, keep it away from open flames like candles, fireplaces, and wood stoves.
Shipping & Storage
Each goat ships in a fitted box to protect its shape during transit. For off-season storage, we recommend keeping the goat in its original box in a cool, dry place. For added protection from pests or dust, you can place it inside a sealed plastic bag or container.

Julbock
Bought this neat little Julbock and put him in the middle of the table with candles. Everyone loved him. Well made and will probably start a collection.

I ordered one each for myself and my children. We are all very pleased with them. My daughter will even be using him for a social studies lesson for my two homeschooled Grandchildren!

Purchasing my Jul Buk from the Scandinavian Shoppe did not disappoint; he's perfect. I can't wait to give my two Swedish friends theirs too.

Straw Goat - Julbock - 8"
I love my latest Scandinavian Christmas decor purchase. I have wanted a Jul Buk for several Christmases, so this year I decided to add him to my collection. This 8-inch straw goat is the perfect size, and a piece I'll enjoy for many years.

Adorable
I know jul goats aren't really supposed to be described as adorable, but there really is no other word for this little guy. He's so small he doesn't even have a beard yet! He's a baby jul goat! I can't help but love him.

great gift
We were very pleased with the straw goat. It is well made and a great size, not too big or too small. We are giving it my daughter's teacher for Christmas because she likes goats and thought this was unique.
