Jule Hus

Oh. My. Goodness. It’s like a museum, only you can actually buy the pieces… if you’re a millionaire, maybe. Right at the entrance was an antique grandfather clock «on sale» for $ 65,000! So many cool clocks, music boxes, furniture, and jewelry.
Oh, the jewelry. I was in love. It’s a mix of antiques and estate pieces, and I was in love with a large art deco ring. For all the fanciness of this store, the sales clerk was not pretentious and very kind. I didn’t ask for help, but she saw me admiring a particular ring and she took it out of the case for me. I wanted it so badly and she even offered layaway for me (and what stores do that anymore? Very cool). The ring, by the way, cost $ 2800, so obviously I wasn’t going to splurge on an art deco style cocktail ring.
Anyway, it instilled enormous envy at those who can afford to purchase ANYTHING there, but I loved my visit, regardless!!!

Wow. These people are so rude! I purchased an item, they swept my card, and I signed. Afterwards, I wasn’t sure if we got the item, so I asked my husband if he had it and in such a haughty tone, the lady retorted «Excuse me. You’ll get your item when you pay. There’s an order here.» I’m sorry, but I already paid and there was no need to speak to me in such a tone. This place left a terrible taste in my mouth, to the point where I don’t even want to go back to Solvang again.

The staff always ignores us when standing in line. Just now, as we waited our turn, a woman walked right past us and was assisted next. How can these people be so blind to us? Do I start cutting in line now?

This place was so cool! I brought my aunts from Argentina to visit Solvang and they fell in love with all the cool decorations & the friendly service. Courtney even went as far as speaking Spanish with my aunts. THANK YOU COURTNEY!

Overpriced, rude and homophobic. The worst experience in an otherwise beautiful town. LBGT folks — avoid this place!

Cute store. Christmas in the middle of summer is always odd, but then it’s my favorite holiday. Nice selection of more specialty ornaments that are hand crafted or more «delicate». Of course, my toddler manages to pick out the wooden M&M figure that he must have. Reasonable prices. Bought three wooden ornaments for about $ 6 each.

Cute shop with lots of great Christmas ornaments. It feels like Christmas all year round! ;)
Prices are a little on the higher side for ornaments though. And they have really great service, which could also be bad since you have to wait a long time in line at the cashier.

It’s a Christmas store year round! I’ve always wondered how this kind of store survives when it’s sooooo specialized on one holiday! Lol. It’s a pretty cool store. They’ve got a very nice variety of things to choose from. Some things are more unique and you wouldn’t find anywhere else. If you’re vacationing… better buy it now! It was a very nice store to put the spirit of Christmas pumping in you! Lol. The lady at the counter was very cordial as well.

Sorry to be Scrooge.
This place literally looks like a Danish Santa Clause ate one too many cookies and vomited in California.
Okay, okay, I’m sure this has probably one of the best year round selections in ornaments, Christmas decorations, and other holiday flair of really any place in the country. Cool to walk through, and maybe start your Christmas shopping early… but if you are seriously trying to get deals you might as well go to your local seasonal shop and buy up all their decorations the day after Christmas.
Really what do I need a Christmas tree for in August anyway?

Cool shop that’s run by descendants of the Danish families that once settled in Solvang.
They are a Christmas all year round Shoppe.
They have high quality European ornaments and decorations and other cool trinkets.
We only bought a postcard here, but it’s a nice store to come and browse around.

Just about every ornament, Fontini, Smoker, Caroler or Nutcracker you could ever want is here. It’s Christmastime all year long! They have hand made crafts as well as all the manufactured favorites. Prices are pretty good considering you don’t have to pay shipping. They wrap all if your treasures up safely & remove the price tags for you. That comes in handy if you are buying a gift for someone, like I was.

What a lovely place to go… everytime we have visit we take them to Solvang and ALL them love this shop… then we use the occasion to find some new stuff for our tree and some all year round elfs and gnoms…
I also love the warm and friendly reception we get every time… it feels like Christmas every day…

I had been wanting to bring my son’s to this store for 3 years. Every year we get a new ornament and I thought this would be a fun experience for my 10 year old and my 22 year old autistic son. We spent awhile deciding on our choices and that was fun. But the mood of the store changed when I asked a clerk for assistance in finding an angel ornament. She seemed put out that I didn’t find them myself. I let it go figuring if I was in my 80’s and having to wearing a Heidi’s costume I would be in a pissy mood too.
However when my autistic son went to pay for his own ornament the same lady decided to grill him on national parks. Sounds strange, well it was. My son just stood there trying to understand the clerk who put my son on the spot about now knowing the national parks in Utah. She then went on and on about googling the parks because he should knows the parks. I finally intervened and had the boys go outside to wait for me to finish the transaction.
I tried to explain to the clerk my son’s condition and that is why he wasn’t responding to her questions or understood completely what she was asking but she would not stop talking to hear what I had to say. Maybe out of boredom she wanted to have someone hear her talk… I don’t know but I quickly got out of there and unfortunately this left a weird «taste» in our mouth regarding this store. My autistic son worried the rest of the day about national parks and not knowing the names. Elder Heidi, it is never to late to learn customer service.

Christmas all year round!
If Christmas is one of your favorite holidays, then this store is a must-​stop if you’re in Solvang! Okay, even if it’s not your favorite, you still have to check it out! It’ll make you happy! :)
This place is like a holiday time travel. You couldn’t help but smile as you wander through the store. They have cute Christmas decorations! There is one wall with only nutcrackers! i just love saying ‘nutcrackers’! But of course they have everything from xmas decorations, to ornaments, to stocking stuffers, and numbers of nativity scene! This place is very well-​lit with christmas lights and the different themed-​christmas tree can bring a smile to anyone’s face!
The only complained I have is, not much room for a stroller (or a wheelchair for that matter). I had my son with me in an umbrella stroller, and I was afraid of knocking everything off the shelves and my son grabbing everything. So we had to leave the stroller outside and just had to carry him in.
But, if you are in the area, definitely check it out! You won’t regret it! :)

If every day could be just like Christmas, what a wonderful world it would be…
This shop keeps the Christmas magic alive all-​year-​round, and it’s a must-​visit in Solvang (even if you don’t celebrate!). There are many unique items here, including Christmas pyramids (those wooden displays that spin with the heat of candles), ornaments, tree garlands, etc. etc. etc.

Solvang has quite a few «must visit» places that I recommend any and all visitors to explore. Jule hus is right there near the top! Its a Christmas store… in a Danish-​style village… and its open all year long!!! How can you not wanna pay a visit even in the middle of Summer? I mean… really?!
This is a lovely, beautiful place. You walk in and you’re transported to the holiday season, and really… you can’t help but smile and wander through their displays and offering, looking all around in wonder.
You can find all kinds of European, «old world» ornaments and decorations for your home or office here. Anything and everything for trees, hearths, mantels or wherever you like to decorate during the holidays is here. Some of it with the «Solvang» logo on it… and much of it without. The workers here are delightful, and some still have Danish accents! Its quaint in a heartwarming way.
The wife and I try to pick up and item or two from here whenever we stop bye to put on our Christmas tree, something to represent Solvang… a town we’ve fallen in love with. The prices are fairly reasonable for such a touristy spot… and every budget can find something here.
Seriously. when you’re in the area… do stop by. You’ll be happy you did!
Oh and «Jule» is the same as our «Yule». signifying the holiday season.
