Christmas Gnomes & Gonks

What is a Christmas gnome?

The Christmas gnome originated in Scandinavian folklore, where they are known as ‘house gnomes’. These friendly figures protect families by living in or under the house, warding off evil spirits, bad luck and misfortune. In modern times, they have taken on a role more like Father Christmas, leaving presents for children to discover on Christmas morning. However, legend has it that you must be kind to the gnomes so they’ll be kind to you in return.

Are gonks just for Christmas?

While many gnomes are dressed in festive attire, there’s plenty of choice when it comes to styles, so you don’t need to pack them away with the tinsel once January rolls around. If you’d like to enjoy your new friends all year long, opt for a neutral colour scheme rather than large Christmas gnomes in red or green. You could even choose wooden decorations featuring gnome motifs for an all-year-round festive feel that won’t look out of place during the warmer months.

Choosing the perfect gonk for your home

If you’re keen to introduce a festive friend to your home this year, there’s one to suit every style of home. If you’re a card-carrying Christmas lover, there are gnome characters in bright red, white and green to really set the scene. But if your home is more woodland folk, minimalist or pared back, you could choose a gnome in neutral colours to really blend in with your décor.
