 a good travel companion October 21, 2007

When I had to cancel an overseas trip with a friend, I provided her with this helpful gnome to accompany her in my absence. Fortunately he comes with his own passport, so getting through customs was a breeze. He is made of sturdy stuff, so he did not break in her backpack, and was always available for photo-ops, looking his best. He did get her in trouble in front of a sacred monument when she tried to photograph him, but its hardly fair to blame it on him. He always let her choose the hotel and restaurant and never complained about having to sleep with her old shoes. Really, he's far better than a lot of people I've traveled with. I don't think she'll choose him over me next time (his conversational skills are limited, and the fact he can't drive meant she had to stay sober most of the time) but if you need an amiable travel companion, this is your guy!!

Really cute product, I bought this as a birthday present for a friend who loves Amelie and is traveling to France. Quirky and funny.

Kinda expensive but what the heck. Bought this to replace my little plaster gnome that was given to me by a German friend years ago. Poor little guy was getting paint chipped and battered. This here new one, is adorable, weightier and sturdier for many years of travel and pocket stashing. It's a nice gift item. Keep the gnome, the book will probably get lost and you won't really miss it. This little guy will go a long ways in my camera bag.

I got this little gnome to go everywhere with me. I originally had a larger ceramic gnome which I took w/ me on a trip to Ireland. But I wanted something smaller for my purse, so I got this little guy. He goes with me everywhere (and I have photos to prove it).

I recently got another one for my friend, now we each have one. I gave mine a new hat so we wouldn't get ours mixed up. He's a real conversation piece when sitting at a restaurant table. People think I'm weird, but I'd hate to be normal.
Awesome travel mate! Great for kids. March 13, 2009

This was a purchase I made for my preschool classroom. We use it like Flat Stanley, and he is so much fun. Very tiny, so easy to pack up and travel.
