Brace yourselves – Halloween gonks are now a thing!
The Nordic gnomes have been a huge Christmas decor trend over the last few years, so it was only a matter of time before they got a mischievous makeover for Halloween.
What is a gonk?
The history of gonks stems back to Nordic and Scandinavian mythology.
According to folklore, these little creatures favour colder weather and like to cosy up in houses where, if the family welcomes them, they will bring good luck.
