Gnome Ornaments and Gifts

Why are gnomes so popular? In folklore, gnomes represent good luck and are thought to be protectors of the earth. Legend has it that they live underground and guard nearby plant life, as well as provide care and protection for farms and families. This explains why garden gnomes, the kindly, human-like creatures in pointed hats, are trendy right now.

Christmas gnomes, whether in the form of gnome ornaments or figurines, add fun and whimsy to your holiday decorations and are a holiday decor trend for this year. In Scandinavia, gnome-like supernatural beings act much like Santa Claus and visit the homes of good children on Christmas Eve. Festive gnome figurines are perfect to display on your holiday mantel or to peek out from the branches of your Christmas tree. If you’re a gnome collector, you’ll find the beautiful detail of Jim Shore gnomes available for holidays and seasons year-round, including Thanksgiving gnomes, spring gnomes and patriotic gnomes. Shop Hallmark for all your gnome gifts and decor.
