Gonk-lovers are racing to Poundland for 'huge' £2.50 decorations – and they’re perfect for Christmas | The Sun
SHOPPERS are racing to Poundland for “huge” Gonk decorations that are perfect for Christmas.
The discounter is flogging massive plushies for as little as £2 – and some even have uber long legs, meaning you can hang them over your shelves or sofas.
There’s also £3 Baby Gonks, £1 Light Globe Gonks and £3 Doorstop Gonks.
The full range is only available in stores at the moment, but Poundland does have a smaller selection in stock online.
Gonks started weaving their way into British Christmas decorations back in 2020, earning themselves titles as festive gnomes.
But the faceless characters are much older than gnomes; their origins date back to 1600s Scandinavia.
