Small, cheerful and very good at hiding behind his beard.
Our gonk candle is a Christmas gnome with a snowflake hat and a long wavy beard, about 9.5cm tall, in pink, cream and blue. It's a Secret Santa gift, stocking filler or Scandi Christmas decoration for under £10.
Each one is hand-poured in natural soy wax in our Caldicot studio, with a tall pointed hat dotted with snowflakes, a round nose and a beard that reaches the floor. In Scandinavia he's a tomte or nisse, the little gnome who looks after the house at Christmas; here he looks just as good on a mantelpiece, a windowsill or the Christmas table. Most people keep him as a decoration rather than burn him, but he has a proper cotton wick if you'd like to light him.
