 He's my Homey Gnomie, my travellin' pal August 1, 2008
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.

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

I ordered this little guy because I thought it would be a lot of fun, I thought I could pass him around various family members when they travel. His first trip will be to Iraq to visit my son. I'm very happy with him but (there's always a but) the included passport isn't really a passport. OK, I didn't expect it to be the real deal but I did expect there to be blank pages where you could write a note about where he'd been, maybe include a tiny picture. The cover looks like a passport, and the first page is like a passport the rest is just a cute little book about gnomes. I'm planning on taking the book apart and using the cover but making my own "official passport pages"

A very cute little gnome who, for now anyway, is happy to maintain his perch upon my desk. When he gets the itch to travel, he'll be ready to go with his handy passport.

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!!
