Top Hat Gonk Resin Figurine with Mini Christmas Tree - Red

This cheerful resin gonk figurine wears a towering black top hat pulled low over his eyes. His long white beard reaches almost to his boots, and he holds a little Christmas tree in one hand. The hat has a frosty sparkle across the crown and brim, a red band and a sprig of green holly with red berries tucked at the side. Beneath the beard he wears a red coat and black boots, and the tree is dotted with red berries under a light glittery frost. He stands 14cm tall, 9cm wide and 8cm deep, a size that sits happily among other decorations without getting lost.

He stands on his own two boots, so he needs no hook or nail. Set him on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a sideboard or a bookshelf, or beside a bowl of pine cones on the dining table. He is just as at home in the hallway welcoming guests as on a bedside table or a desk. Because he is compact, he slots into an existing Christmas display without any rearranging. He also makes a cheerful little Christmas gift, easy to wrap and a lovely extra for a stocking or a Secret Santa swap.

He is made from resin, sometimes called polystone, which holds fine texture well. The waves of his beard, the woven look of his hat and the layered branches of his tree all show clearly. Looking after him is simple. Dust him with a soft dry cloth, or wipe him gently with a slightly damp cloth if he needs more, taking care over the glittered areas, then let him dry. Pack him away somewhere dry once the season is over and he will be ready for next December. Stand him beside a string of fairy lights and a little greenery, and he brings a smile to the whole arrangement.
