Nice faceless gnomes

I fancy a couple of faceless gnome things, there seems to be millions of them on the internet and I assume most are poor quality.
Where can I get one that which looks nice and will last a good while?

Tomtes? I got some good quality ones from Culture Vulture 2 or 3 years ago, they might still sell them-

must look them up actually, they often have nice ornaments for Christmas

I think they are called gonks! They have lots at garden centre or online and Aldi had some in their special buys this week

Thanks I'd never head of culture vulture before- they have some lovely if pricey jumpers!
Their tomte (new word Grin) are a bit small for my purposes.

there are some easy to follow youtube tutorials (not that I've ever gotten round to actually making them lol)

I'm not sure where to buy them as mine were bought in Sweden. They are indeed tomtar. One tomte, many tomtar :) Traditionally they are little gnome like creatures who live on farms and help out as long as you are respectful and polite. On the 23rd you must leave out a bowl of special Christmas porridge for him. If you don't he might get angry and cause mischief!

Ooh what goes in the special Christmas porridge? Raisins and cinnamon maybe?

The ones made by Heaven Sends are lovely. www.gingerinteriors.co.uk/ has some very sweet small ones too.

I have purchased two, one from Amazon and one from eBay, neither have arrived yet and might not be the best quality, following as I feel I need more!

It's a bit like rice pudding with sugar and cinnamon on top.
