Wood Effect Christmas Gonk Figurine with Wreath 28cm - Brown

This wood effect Christmas gonk figurine holds a little green wreath against his white beard, with a tall pointed hat rising above a round button nose. He is made of resin and finished in a light brown wood effect, with fine grain lines and small knots running from the tip of his hat down to the base. A soft, textured trim in pale cream bands the hat and his mitten cuffs, and a sprig of green holly with red berries sits on the hat band. He stands 28cm tall, 9cm wide and 9cm deep, a slim cone that fits neatly on a narrow ledge.

We like him on a mantelpiece, a hall table, a windowsill or a bookshelf, where his height gives a shelf of Christmas decorations a little lift without crowding it. His soft, neutral colours suit a natural or rustic scheme, and the brown, cream and green sit happily beside pine cones, dried orange slices and sprigs of greenery. He is just as much at home on a desk, a kitchen shelf or a bedside table through December, adding a cheerful festive face wherever there is a spare corner. He also makes a thoughtful little Christmas gift, easy to wrap and simple to find a place for.

The figurine is made of resin, and the painted grain, the textured trim and the leafy wreath give him plenty of detail up close. He stands freely on his flat base, so he needs no hook, stand or fixing, and his slim shape leaves room for other pieces around him. To keep him looking his best, dust him with a soft dry cloth and, if needed, wipe him gently with a slightly damp cloth; harsh cleaners are best avoided. When the decorations come down in January, wrap him in tissue so the tip of his hat stays crisp, and he will be ready to stand guard again next Christmas.
