SHOPPERS are racing to Poundland for \u201chuge\u201d Gonk decorations that are perfect for Christmas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The discounter is flogging massive plushies for as little as \u00a32 – and some even have uber long legs, meaning you can hang them over your shelves or sofas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also \u00a33 Baby Gonks, \u00a31 Light Globe Gonks and \u00a33 Doorstop Gonks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The full range is only available in stores at the moment, but Poundland does have a smaller selection in stock online.<\/p>\n
Gonks started weaving their way into British Christmas decorations back in 2020, earning themselves titles as festive gnomes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the faceless characters are much older than gnomes; their origins date back to 1600s Scandinavia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gonks are commonly made from wool, fabric and felt – and their long beards make them look like mini Santa Claus\u2019.<\/p>\n However, they are not technically Christmas decorations.<\/p>\n Brits have been including them in their festive decorations over the last few years, including celebrities like Stacey Solomon and Mrs Hinch.\u00a0<\/p>\n Gonk-lovers have taken to Facebook group Get Your Gonk On to gush over Poundland\u2019s collection.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The hero product is a Christmas Gonk with long legs that has been slashed in price from \u00a37 to \u00a32.50.\u00a0<\/p>\n Stephanie Bates picked up two because she \u201cthought her eyes were deceiving her\u201d at the price.\u00a0<\/p>\n The cuddly character has red legs, a long white beard and a huge cone hat with gold foil detailing on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n Poundland\u2019s Gonk collection shot to popularity back in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now, fans of the little characters look forward to see what bargain goodies they can nab ahead of every festive season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Similarly, shoppers were recently rushing to Asda for autumn Gonk cushions slashed to just 70p.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/picture>XMAS CHEER <\/span><\/p>\n
