GONK-LOVERS are racing to their nearest Asda after discovering they can nab festive homeware for just 70p.
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, with origins dating back to 1600s Scandinavia.
