GONK season is finally upon us!
The faceless characters that look like gnomes have been cropping up in British homes during the festive season for years now.
And lucky for bargain hunters, Aldi has introduced some to its middle aisle as part of this week’s Specialbuys.
Shoppers will need to be quick, though. As with all Specialbuys: once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Gonk-lovers have flocked to social media to share their excitement over the plush characters the budget supermarket has newly released.
They include a Gingerbread Rat, Green Sequin Gonk, Red Candy Cane Gonk and Blue Sequin Gonk.

“The choice is yours.”

The plush decorations gave extendable legs, meaning you can stand them up by the tree or sit them over the fireplace.
The new characters, set to rival the German supermarket’s flagship Kevin the Carrot, have taken Facebook by storm.
And while it’s not a conventional animal, many love the Gingerbread Rat.
“The gingerbread rat looks unusual,” one shopper said.
“I think we’re going to have to have him.”
“I adore the rat,” another beamed.
Aldi is also stocking Perfect Christmas Sitting Gonks for £7.99 each.
“At such a fun time of year it's great to have a few fun characters around the house and they don't come much more festive than these Perfect Christmas Sitting Gonks,” bosses said.
“These soft and cute Gonks will happily sit where you put them and bring joy for the festive season.”
