7 Garden Gnomes Perfect for Gifting This Holiday Season

November 9, 2020 by Steph Coelho Leave a Comment

I’ve always loved garden gnomes — even after watching the horrifying Goosebumps episode titled ‘Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes” as a kid. The Travelocity gnome is the cutest company mascot ever. And if you’ve never watched Gnomeo and Juliet, I highly recommend you do so immediately. 

Garden gnomes are the ideal garden decoration, in my opinion. They add a touch of whimsy and color without bulk, but they’re sturdy and don’t require any special tools to install. Just pop one in the dirt next to your plants and enjoy it from afar. 

In addition to being attractive garden installations, garden gnomes also make a great gift for your gardening friends. They’re also usually inexpensive and available in a variety of styles. There’s something for everyone — whether you’re looking for a tiny stocking stuffer for a secret Santa exchange or a sentimental gift for a loved one. Here are a few gnome picks to help you shop this holiday season:

THE Garden Gnome

The quintessential gnome is available in two sizes — 6 or 10-inches — and features a tough weather-resistant construction.

Still looking for the perfect Halloween decor for your garden? Why not add this pair of skeletal gnomes to the mix? The creepy statue is made of sturdy crushed stone, so it’s heavy and won’t topple over and is coated with UV-resistant paint. 

Solar Light Zen Meditating Garden Gnome

Add this dual-purpose gnome to your garden to evoke a sense of calm. The waterproof decoration features solar-powered lights that automatically go on and off thanks to a built-in light sensor.

 

Don’t Forget to Bring Your Gnome in for the Winter

If you’re buying a new gnome for your garden, don’t forget to store it properly for the winter. Even the most durable statue is vulnerable to damage if left in the garden as snow begins to fall. Carefully store your gnomes in a safe location where they’re unlikely to fall or get bumped. If concerned about damage in storage, wrap your precious gnomes in bubble wrap or newspaper.
