Four Christmas gnomes for a cosy corner of home
Choose Heart Gnome, Holly Gnome, Snow Gnome or Candy Gnome on a textured square pillow cover. Each has a tall floppy hat, ribbed brim, round peach nose, long white fringe beard, white cuffs, mittens and padded boots. An envelope back lets you remove the insert for washing.
