So, what’s the difference? A gonk, according to the Oxford English Dictionary is “a spherical or egg-shaped doll with frizzy hair. A gnome on the other hand, is “a legendary dwarfish creature supposed to guard the earth’s treasures underground.”
Whatever they are, they’re super-cute for decoration or for gifts. Check some out on our patch and please do let us know if you find any others!
