Gonks aren't just for Christmas. With autumn officially here, a Halloween gonk is the perfect accessory to snap up ahead of spooky season — and it's already a hit with gonk lovers around the UK.
Available in various shapes and sizes, Halloween gonks look the same as Christmas gonks (complete with their famous fuzzy beard), but are usually dressed in dark colourways. Not keen on Halloween? You'll also find lots of autumn gonks, without garish and ghoulish outfits, but rather in autumnal hues.
You'll have to be quick though, as the demand for gonks is already sky high. 'We saw customers bag their gonk products as early as July, and our autumnal gonk cushions sold out within seven days, demonstrating homeowners' love of adding gonks to their spaces whatever the season,' a spokesperson for The Range tells House Beautiful UK.
'In the month of September, searches for gonks on our website increased by over 100 per cent on the month previous. And, as the weather switches and there is a chill in the air, shoppers are now looking towards Halloween decoration themes. Sales for Halloween gonks in particular have doubled and "gonk" is now in the top 10 searches online.'
