Frankly, garden gnomes don't tend to make very good gifts. Even if the recipient spends loads of time in the garden, even if you feel like they'd love a little something with which to brighten up the lawn...gnomes are just too dull, too clichéd, too done-to-death.
Until now. We've added a whole bunch of
garden gnome products to our catalogue, and they're all, um, a little
unusual. Any one of them would make a fantastic gift for the good-humoured gardener in your life; let's take a whistle stop tour of our gi-GNOME-ous selection...
This little guy is the gnome equivalent of Tony Montana (Gnomey Montana?) He's brandishing a tommy gun and letting out what appears to be one hell of a war cry. Oh, and just to strengthen the Scarface connection, his base says 'SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND'.
This one also says 'SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND', albeit in a rather different context. Thanks goodness for those heart-pattern boxers, eh?
If there's one garden ornament that's even more clichéd than gnomes, it's the notorious Pink Flamingo. Fortunately, this vicious little guy appears to have taken care of his dreadfully tacky nemesis (or one of them, at least).
Remember those little green army men that you used to play with? Well, they're back - in gnome form! This guy is a must-have if your garden gnomes are going to win the fight against...
...this monstrosity! The Massacre makes an awesome gift for fans of those schlocky monster movies from years gone by.
If, on the other hand, you're shopping for a laid-back child of the '60s, perhaps this gnome would be more appropriate. He's wearing a very fashionable tie-dye T-shirt, and brandishing something...well, we're reasonably sure it's not a cigarette. Note that the clock is permanently set to 4:20.
Finally, we come to this chap, who has quite literally been caught with his trousers down. Who said gardeners couldn't enjoy a little bit of toilet humour, eh?
