Description
This cheerful Santa gonk and robin decoration brings a little seasonal mischief to the mantelpiece. Our gonk wears a tall red hat tipped with a glittering gold pom-pom, its white fur brim finished with a sprig of holly, and his round nose peeps out over a long white beard that curls at the tip. He is busy posting a gold parcel into a brown postbox on a post. Its lid is capped with snow and its front reads MERRY CHRISTMAS in raised letters, while a little robin with a warm orange breast perches on top. Holly winds up the post, and the whole scene sits on a speckled snowy base. It stands 12cm tall, 8.7cm wide and 7cm deep.
Red is the main colour, set off by the white beard and trims, the dark brown mittens and boots and touches of gold and holly green, so it sits happily with traditional red and gold Christmas schemes. At 12cm tall it is just right for a windowsill, a bookshelf, a sideboard or the centre of the Christmas table. Because it carries its own greeting, it also makes a cheerful little Christmas gift, easy to pop into a stocking or tuck beside a card for anyone who loves a gonk.
The gonk, postbox and robin form one freestanding piece, with a flat snowy base that keeps it steady on a shelf or table, so there is no hook or stand to worry about. The painted detail is crisp, from the speckled snow and fur to the robin's feathers and the gold berries on the hat. To care for it, dust gently with a soft dry cloth and keep it somewhere dry. When the season is over, wrap it in tissue and box it away with your other decorations, ready to bring a smile back next December when the tree goes up.
